In the 14th minute, Sabitzer, who is on loan from Bayern Munich, scored his first goal in Europe for United after controlling a precise feed from Fernandes and shooting past custodian Bono.
Seven minutes later, the Austrian doubled his total after grabbing Martial’s excellent ball and putting it away.
Youssef En-Nesyri’s header in the second minute of stoppage time directly onto the head of unwitting substitute. Harry Maguire allowed Sevilla to score another goal and beat a perplexed De Gea. More troubling news for Erik ten Hag’s team came at halftime when Martinez’s fellow centre defender Raphael Varane was pulled out with an injury. Bruno Fernandes received a yellow card, meaning he will be sidelined for the second leg.
Two Sevilla players who are also members of his Argentina team helped carry Lisandro Martinez off the pitch after what appeared to be a catastrophic injury. Although Sevilla, who is now in last place in La Liga, was outplayed in the first half, they came dangerously close to scoring just before the break.
