Wolfsburg started quick, with Renato Steffen firing the hosts into the lead in the 48th minute. They were reduced to ten men in the 85th minute, however, when Joshua Guilavogui was given his marching orders. Ivan Rakitic’s penalty two minutes later rescued a point for Sevilla, who remain undefeated this season.
