Sevilla 4-0 Celta Vigo: Gameiro at the double after penalty failure

Sevilla has one foot in the Copa del Rey final after Kevin Gameiro's brace helped see off Celta Vigo in the first leg of their semifinal.

Kevin Gameiro recovered from a saved penalty to score twice as Sevilla took a huge step toward the Copa del Rey final with a 4-0 first-leg victory over Celta Vigo on Thursday.

Barcelona all but secured its progression to the final with Wednesday's 7-0 hammering of Valencia and, despite seeing a first-half penalty saved, Gameiro notched a brace after the break to ensure that five-time winner Sevilla looks set to meet the holders in the end-of-season showpiece.
