Script:

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Unai Emery, Sevilla FC coach:

"This is really big victory for us. We admit that the goalkeeper has made several mistakes but at the same time he made quite a few good saves and saved the team. Why did I put him in the game despite his injuries and despite the fact that he didn't have the experience of the recent games? He is an experienced goalkeeper and knows how to play in stressful situations like this match and it was important that he could give confidence to the team which is what happened. Overall, the efforts of all the players including the goalkeeper and his confident performance in other moments lead to a positive result that allows us to move to the next stage of this competition."
