Sevilla’ substitute Wissam Ben Yedder scored the opening goal in the 74th minute, less than two minutes after coming onto the pitch. Four minutes later, United's defense was caught out again as Ben Yedder was left open at the back post.

In the 84th minute, Romelu Lukaku volleyed home from close range, but there would be no comeback for the hosts. Sevilla won 2-1 on aggregate – their first game ended 0-0 - to eliminate United and advance to the last eight.
