Under the guidance of Juande Ramos, who will face Barcelona's "Espanyol" in the UEFA Cup final next Wednesday, the match started with a 3-0 advantage won in La Coruna. The hosts quickly dashed almost all hopes of seeing a drama unfold, as Duda scored a penalty in the third minute to put Sevilla in front.
After playing for more than half an hour, Uruguayan Ernesto Chevanton doubled the lead, while "Deportivo" struggled to pose a greater threat to Sevilla's goal.
It is almost certain that Sevilla will face the leaders of the Spanish championship, Barcelona, in the final, who are playing their second leg match today (Thursday). The Catalan superclub won the first leg against Getafe 5-2.
If Barcelona unexpectedly fail to lose by three goals, the final scheduled for June 23 at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium would be a kind of repetition of the European Super Cup match that took place in August. On that occasion, Sevilla crushed Barcelona's footballers 3-0.
For Sevilla, this will be the first time since 1962 that they are playing in the King's Cup final.
