Apr 7, 2016 5:11:26 PM

Sevilla came from behind to beat Athletic Bilbao 2-1 in the Europa League quarter-final first leg.

Vicente Iborra scored a late goal to give Sevilla a 2-1 comeback win over Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of their all-Spanish Europa League quarterfinal.

Iborra latched on to Kevin Gameiro's pass and slid the ball into the net to give Sevilla its first away win in the Europa League this season and put one foot in the semifinals.

The home side gained the upper hand when Aritz Aduriz scored just after halftime, but Iker Muniain's poor defensive header allowed Sevilla a golden chance to equalize and Timothee Kolodziejczak leveled the score.
