Carlos Vela’s fourth-minute strike gave Arsène Wenger’s youthful side an early lead. A more senior Sevilla team responded impressively. They bossed the latter stages of the first half and all of the second. The Spaniards spurned a host of chances before Javier Chevanton finally converted from close range with nine minutes left.
However the late equaliser was unlikely to change the winners of this year’s Amsterdam Tournament. The event awards an extra point for each goal scored. Therefore this result, and Friday’s 3-2 win over Ajax, gave Arsenal a final tally of eight points. They certainly finish ahead of Sevilla (3pts). The hosts (2pts) and Inter (1pt) were due to kick off after this game finished but, barring a goal-fest, Arsenal had retained the crown they won last year.
