00:00Welcome one and all, and so it begins again, a new European football season, and the start of some wonderful pre-season friendly action for both of these teams, Sevilla and Birmingham City.
00:13The contest begins, welcome one and all to the start of pre-season action.
00:20Sevilla in control of the ball, playing from left to right.
00:23Feels only right to mention, not just Brendan Rodgers, but we'll come back to that because here is Zahid Besson.
00:30Betteke, young man who's just signed his first professional contract, he's played it through beautifully to Keshi Anderson, who makes it 1-0 to Birmingham City, and what a special moment for No. 7, Zahid Betteke.
00:44Put pen to paper on his first professional contract with his hometown club two months ago, and he provides a delightful little ball for Keshi Anderson.
00:52The team of the very famous club in the Republic of Korea, the Blue Wings.
00:58Oh, what a great stop that was from Fernandes.
01:06Clara forward once again, and the header comes back off the post from Romero, and in it goes from the gentleman who had a chance earlier.
01:17He's taken it now, the captain, Christophe Clara.
01:20Well, it was very messy from Sevilla's perspective.
01:25They don't care, he doesn't care.
01:27The Blues are 2-0 up.
01:37Typical pre-season friendly, probably an entirely different starting 11 from both.
01:41Here's Edukay, excellent ball, oh, good save from Alsop.
01:46Players, nice ball out there to No. 27, Stannis Edumbo.
01:50Edumbo, great opportunity, oh, hits the post.
01:57Changed the shirt numbers around right before kick-off.
02:00Here is Raf Amir, he's got a good opportunity, he's tested, James Beedle, and it's very well saved.
02:08Hopefully, played over the top, really, by Lula da Silva.
02:12And rather reckless that, wasn't it, from James Beedle, and the ball was slammed in by the young man, the youngest out there, Nico Guillen.
02:27Well, congratulations to him.
02:32Well, I did say just over 10 minutes ago that I thought it wouldn't be a great surprise if Sevilla scored in the next 10 minutes.
02:40They left it slightly later, but they did get one.
02:43It's Sevilla 1, Birmingham City 2, and it really is messy from the Blues' perspective.
02:53It's a shot, oh, it's brilliant!
02:56What a clever piece of play that was!
03:02Because everything was indicative of a cross.
03:04And Alberto Flores just showed enough of his near post to Mark Leonard.
03:12What an excellent start to Birmingham City's pre-season.
