HARRY KANE fired Spurs ahead against Sevilla, but Ivan Rakitic came along and equalised.
Spurs needed SIX goals to overcome the K-League all-stars in their most recent outing on Wednesday.
Which included a brace from the 2021/22 golden boot winner Son Heung-min and a spectacular long range effort by Harry Kane.
However, Antonio Conte will be on red alert as he would have been far from impressed with Tottenham’s woeful defending at time.
And Sevilla come into this game fresher of the two having not played a single exhibition match since the conclusion of last season.

Spurs pre-season tour of South Korea has come to an end, and in their next challenge they head to Scotland to face Rangers.
There were some magical moments at Ibrox last year, particularly in Rangers’ exciting Europa League campaign, that ended in penalty heartbreak to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Spurs will be hoping that Harry Kane can continue his hot goal scoring form, and that it will continue into the start of the season.

The SunSport man of the match award today goes to Harry Kane.
The England hitman scored the goal that gave Spurs the lead, and also had a goal disallowed.
Jesus Navas and Ivan Rakitic were both excellent for Sevilla, but their minutes limited them a little in terms of an overall rating.
Who would be your man of the match?
Hats off to the fans.
The fans here today were absolutely unbelievable.
The 43,998 people in attendance in Suwon made it feel like a Champions League final, not a pre-season friendly.
Much fuss was made of Heung Min Son in his home country, and the stadium lit up every time he was on the ball.

It is shaping up to be another good season in Seville, if that performance is anything to go by.
The Spanish outfit looked very competent on the ball, especially in the wide areas when Jesus Navas and Tecatito came on the pitch.
Lamela was also brilliant against his former club, and hit the post with a wonderful left footed effort.
Kane and Son in Suwon.
It wasn’t their greatest performance by any means, but without them in this game, Spurs would likely have gone home losers.
The South Korean was pivotal in the build up to many of Spurs’ attacks, and got the vital assist for Harry Kane’s opener.
The latter has been on fire in pre-season, with three goals in two games, two of which were outside the box.
Kane also had a goal disallowed in this one, as he looks to set up a charge for another Premier League golden boot.

It is full time here in South Korea, and it has finished Spurs 1-1 Sevilla.
A great contest and run out for both sides, who both could have won it.
91. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
Sarr has a dig from about 30 yards out, very ambitious from the Senegalese international, but it is way over the bar.
90. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
Sevilla have a corner in the final minutes, but it is well cleared.
Kulusevski looks to break, but he is dispossessed and Sevilla will come again…
89. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
Sevilla play some silky football on the right hand side of the pitch, but the cross from Oliver Torres is cut out.
87. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
Spurs goalkeeper Austin gives the ball away to Romero, but the Sevilla striker cannot direct his shot on target.
Sevilla almost found a winner.
86. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
Fagan-Walcott has now replaced Ben Davies, although it is expected to just be a precautionary measure.
84. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
Davies is back on, and Emerson Royal does well to win a goal kick for Tottenham.
82. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
Ben Davies goes down after a clash of heads with Rakitic.
The stretcher comes on, but won’t be needed, as the Welshman walks off the pitch, it looks like he will try to continue.
80. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
Kulusevski gets some space on the right hand side and has an effort on goal, but it is deflected out for a corner.
78. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
Tottenham do really, really well again playing it out from the back.
This is a big improvement in that area than what we have seen from the Lilywhites in recent seasons.
76. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
It is a stadium effectively at full capacity, as the attendance of 43,998 is announced.
The fans have been excellent it must be said.
73. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
You would have to say that on paper now, it is Sevilla who have the stronger 11 on the pitch.
Eric Dier is the only Tottenham player still on the pitch who started the game.
72. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
There is another flurry of changes imminent for Spurs, with Bryan Gil, Troy Parrott, Brandon Austin and Sarr coming on.
Heung Min Son, Harry Kane, Hugo Lloris and Hojbjerg are being replaced.
68. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
Kulusevski comes very, very close!
It is an Arjen Robben-esque strike from the Swede, who cuts in on his left and fires it towards the top left corner, but it is narrowly over.
66. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
That is a great goal by the Croatian maestro, and that is what he does.
Ex-Manchester City man Jesus Navas did well down the right and side, and works the ball inside to the Rakitic.
The Croatian then fires the shot across goal with hardly any backlift into the left hand side of the goal.
A beauty.
63. Spurs 1-1 Sevilla
Goal! Ivan Rakitic scores a beauty!
61. Spurs 1-0 Sevilla
Tanganga loses the ball in defence, and it falls nicely to Pablo Perez, but he fires his shot over the bar.
57. Spurs 1-0 Sevilla
Ambitious effort from ex-Barcelona maestro Ivan Rakitic.
The ball falls to him on the edge of the area and he attempts a full volley, but it falls wide of the goal and will result in a goal kick.

Son has a go from distance, but it is high and wide from the South Korean.
You can’t blame him for trying, he has scored some beauties from that range.
