JAKARTA - Sevilla were held to a 1-1 draw at home by RB Salzburg in their Champions League clash on Wednesday morning when four penalties were awarded in the first half.

According to Antara, Germany striker Karim Adeyemi failed to find the net from the penalty spot in the 13th minute for Salzburg and the Austrian side got a second penalty in the 21st minute which was executed by Croatian midfielder Luka Sucic.

Salzburg then got a third penalty in the 37th minute but Sucic's shot hit the post in his second.

The hosts were then awarded a penalty so that for the first time in Champions League history four penalties were awarded in the first half.

Ivan Rakitic confidently fired home to equalize for Julen Lopetegui's side.

But the hosts limped off again early in the second half when striker Youssef En-Nesyri was sent off for a second yellow card.

Sevilla goalkeeper Bono made a series of saves as the Spaniards drew.

But Lopetegui's 10 men should have won the game when substitute Erik Lamela's last-minute header narrowly crossed the net.

"It was a really strange game, with three penalties against us and a red card, so we have to be happy for the points and the effort we put in," Rakitic told reporters.
