Spanish “Seville” after two rounds occupied the leading line.
The first three points in the group stage Sevilla brought a hat-trick of Wissam Ben Yedder, who became the first player in the history of the Andalusian club, who scored three goals in a single Champions League match. The Frenchman scored the fifth hat-trick in his career and scored the seventh goal in eight games of the season 2017-2018.
Sevilla — Maribor 3:0
Goals: Ben Yedder, 27, 38, 83 (penalty)
Sevilla: Rico — Corchia, Pareja, Lengle, Escudero — Banega (Pizzaro, 86), N’zonzi, Vasquez (Sarabia, 79) Correa, Ben Yedder, Nolito (Navas 67)
