The Final Nail in the Coffin

Unai Emery, Sevilla's coach, quickly made two substitutions before the game could restart. He brought on Kevin Gameiro, a forward, in place of Alberto Moreno, the starting left-back. Additionally, the coach subbed in Piotr Trochowski, an attacking midfielder, for Daniel Carriço, the starting defensive midfielder.

The Sevilla Coach had obviously decided to go all out by playing with a 3-3-2-2 offensive formation during the final few minutes. And that was why he was replacing defensive players with creative and attack-minded players. He wanted to employ all his attacking cards to create opportunities and net an equalizer as soon as possible.
