He Sevilla and the Alavés They opened the second round of LaLiga at the Sánchez-Pizjuán with the aftertaste of hhaving surpassed his Copa del Rey commitments the previous weekend y be already in the round of 16 of the tournament.
Both also came to the game with a lot to do in LaLiga, in which they are close to the relegation places, so the three points were very important between two direct rivals who were looking to start the second half of the tournament with that moral strength that added this meeting.
The Sevilla coach, Quique Sánchez Flores, since he replaced the Uruguayan Diego Alonso and after the victory in Granada (0-3), added defeats in the Metropolitano against Atlético de Madrid (1-0) and in the Andalusian capital against Athletic Club (0-2).
On his return to the Nervión stadium, after the Cup match in Ferrol, he encountered an opponent, the one coached by Luis García Plaza who, despite the fact that can’t get away from dangerdoes show good play and sensations, although at the start of this event it was the locals who rushed towards the rival goal.
Homegrown striker Isaac Romero, making his debut this Friday, has already He tried it with a header on the first play in which the ball reached him and a few minutes later, two minutes later, Jesús Navas, who was returning from injury, found the crossbar with a powerful shot from distance.
The locals were intense, with attempts on both sides, and thus the arrivals followed one another and also the danger, as in the headers of Kike Salas and the Argentine Lucas Ocampos against an Alavés whose ball did not last long and who It was difficult for him to find creative men like Carlos Vicente, who in this game was playing for the first time as a starter.
The best thing for the Vitorian formation was that with the passing of the minutes the rival could not withstand the same intensity and that gave him the opportunity to see more closely the goal defended by the Serbian Marko Dmitrovic, so much so that, in the second corner kick he took, the play was poorly defended and the Argentine center back Nahuel Tenaglia made it 0-1.
The goal arrived shortly before half an hour and to Sevillewho due to his qualifying situation is very lacking in confidence, the blow received was noticeable And Alavés also wanted to take advantage of that circumstance to do more damage.
Thus, Kike García benefited again from a weak Seville defense to make it 0-2 after forty minutes and also be very close to third, already in the extension of the first half, although between Dmitrovic and a post prevented him from reaching the break with that result and also with the injury of local Kike Salas, who had to be replaced by Adriá Pedrosa.
In the second half, Alavés was much more convinced than at the beginning of the first that he could be the protagonist and that motivated Quique Sánchez Flores to move quickly and make up to three changes in the same advantage, with the entry from the Swiss Sow, Rafa Mir and the Dominican Mariano.
The Sevilla reaction took a while to arrive and even Luis Rioja was close to making it 0-3 before the hour markbut it was Rafa Mir who made it 1-2 after seventy minutes and made his team believe they could, at least, rescue a point.
That tie came after a penalty that Ocampos converted with ten minutes remaining in regulation time after the foul that the Uruguayan Carlos Benavídez made on Mariano, but not before the play was reviewed by the VAR.
The local joy was short-lived, because In the 89th minute, Rubén Duarte, on another stopped ball poorly defended by Sevilla, made it 2-3. and visiting joy and local depression.
