Sevilla In, Mallorca Out Of Champions League After Late Rios Goal

Almería looked to have done enough to get a point against Sevilla, the result set to keep the Rojiblancos out of next year’s UEFA Champions League. Mallorca’s 2-0 lead over Espanyol at the ONO Estadi would put the Barralets on 62 points, enough for fourth place should the result hold up at the Estadio del Meditarráneo.

But then, while Mallorca players watched their stadium’s big screen from the field, Sevilla’s Rodrigo Ríos’s overhead kick in the 93rd minute broke the 2-2 tie in Alermía and put Sevilla into UEFA Champions League, their 3-2 win giving them 63 points and fourth place.
