Substitute Stephane Mbia scored in the last minute to salvage a 2-2 draw for 10-man Sevilla at Europa League Group G opponents Rijeka.
The defending champions were unbeaten in the group stage last year and things looked to be following a familiar pattern when Iago Aspas put them ahead in the 26th minute.
But Thimothee Kolodzieczak's red card five minutes into the second half set them back, Andrej Kramaric and Zoran Kvrzic both on target before Mbia snatched a point at the death.
Jose Antonio Reyes almost put the visitors ahead with just five minutes on the clock, letting fly from inside the area only for Ivan Vargic to make a fine save.
Vargic was again in the way when Grzegorz Krychowiak took aim from 20 yards but Rijeka could not hold out
