A chaotic opening matchday in Seville saw four penalties awarded in a crazy half-hour - of which three were won by the same player - during a farcical Champions League encounterSevilla and Red Bull Salzburg played out a chaotic opening day Champions League match which was mired in farce and set a new Champions League record. It was the first time that four penalties had been awarded in a Champions League encounter over the course of 90 minutes and was all the more remarkable as all were awarded in the space of 30 chaotic first half minutes. German international striker Karim Adeyemi incredibly won three quickfire penalties for the visitors - of which two were missed - before Sevilla levelled with a penalty of their own before half-time. Sevilla - who have won a record five Europa League titles - are aiming to reach the Champions League knockout stages for the second successive season while Salzburg are hopeful of progressing through the groups for the first time in their history.
