Lopetegui’s team takes the lead with Rafa Mir (Papu Gomez assist), but is reached at 1-1 by Darder and finishes in ten for red in Koundé
Sevilla do not keep pace with Madrid. Ancelotti’s team beat Alaves 3-0 last night, Lopetegui’s team drew 1-1 in Barcelona today with Espanyol, finishing in 10 and losing the fundamental Koundé and Ocampos for disqualification for the Gran Derby with Betis next season week. With 13 days to go until the end of La Liga, Madrid brings the lead over their rival from 4 to 6.
Change and advantage
–
After the excellent victory in the Europa League with Dinamo Zagreb, Sevilla went to Barcelona to play for the La Liga. Lopetegui made five changes: outside Rekik, Acuña, Papu, Rakitic and Munir, inside Tecatito Corona, Augustinsson, Joan Jordan, Delaney and Rafa Mir. A Cornellà match stingy with chances until the 24th minute when Bounou stopped Raul de Tomas with a great save. A moment later Martial injured his left thigh and was replaced by Papu Gomez, who in the 36th minute caught on the left from a perfect pass by the exceptional Fernando jumped two opponents and served Rafa Mir at the far post for the advantage of the Seville. For the former Atalanta player 3 goals and 3 assists in the last 7 games.
Equal and expulsion
–
The second half began with Espanyol attacking, and in the 50th minute it was equal: Oscar Gil’s cross from the right and Sergi Darder’s winning header, alone in the middle of the area. Between 62 ‘and 64’ two colossal opportunities wasted by Yangel Herrera on one side and Papu Gomez on the other, served by the GDR and Oliver Torres. The game overheated and in the 76th minute Koundé was sent off for a swing on Puado, the French defender will miss the derby with Betis like Ocampos, cautioned and booked shortly after. Diego Carlos blocked a sure shot from GDR and the game went by without further jolts. Ancelotti thanks.
