In front of their home crowd, the Sevillians approached this match with great intensity to fine-tune their automatisms. Juventus proved particularly efficient, opening the scoring through Amauri (26th minute), before striker Vincenzo Iaquinta doubled the lead in the second half (65th minute). Far from giving up, the Andalusians reacted with pride, reducing the deficit with a header from Sébastien Squillaci in the 80th minute. Despite a suspenseful end to the match and a strong Spanish push, the Old Lady maintained her lead until the final whistle, winning (1-2).
