The Betis forgave and opened the European door
Cádiz reduced one point and Granada continues to cling to the miracle to save itself
MADRID, 28 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Betis and Sevilla tied (1-1) this Sunday at the Benito Villamarín, a derby with tension and distribution of points that harms the Verdiblanco’s European objective, an area that Villarreal is pursuing on a streak, while Cádiz and Granada seem condemned to the descent despite the Nasrid faith in the miracle.
The Sevillian clash closed matchday 33 of LaLiga EA Sports this Sunday, giving Valencia, who plays on Monday against FC Barcelona, the option of recovering seventh place which gives the opportunity to play in the next Conference League. Sevilla had the bad news of Isaac Romero’s injury in the first minutes, but Ocampos had the first visitor warning.
Ayoze Pérez, on a roll in recent games, did not take long to stand out at home, as did Isco. The midfielder was the best of his team and the one who scored the penalty through a handball from Lukebakio, and in the second half he finished taking his team ahead. With Bakambu injured this time in Betis, Manuel Pellegrini’s team brought the goal closer with Ayoze, but Sevilla tied with a set piece.
A corner kick was converted by Kike Salas to make it 1-1. Betis could have gone ahead again with a penalty on Isco for a hit by Badé, but Sánchez Martínez annulled it when he saw it on the VAR. With the controversy served, the derby heated up and Betis was closer to the goal, with a crossbar from Abde, pushed by their fans and with more need in the table than a Sevilla that with 38 points is saved.
Villarreal does not give up the European fight after defeating Rayo Vallecano in La Cerámica (3-0). A double from Alexander Sorloth, with a goal in each half, knocked down the Madrid team and put the ‘submarine’ on 45 points. Álex Baena was the one who shared the game for Marcelino García Toral’s team, with three assists, the other to Mosquera, when Rayo tried to react in the second half.
The Madrid team seemed more relaxed due to the weekend’s results and, despite the good streak they had, they lost five games later. For Villarreal, specifically this time for Baena and a Sorloth who did not score more through the VAR, everything worked out and with only one defeat in 13 games they are heading into European competition.
CADIZ AND GRANADA, ONE LESS DAY FOR THE MIRACLE
In addition, the day left Cádiz tied against Mallorca (1-1) and Granada’s victory over Osasuna (3-0), two teams that seem doomed despite their different feelings. The yellow team pushed harder than Mallorca, necessity forced them and so did Nuevo Mirandilla, but they suffered against the Balearic defense. However, a great goal from Muriqi at 12 minutes put the duel in vermilion.
Javier Aguirre’s men found their preferred script and were dangerous on the counterattack, while Cádiz did not know how to generate much with possession. The locals found some fortune in the second half to tie with an own goal from Mascarell, in a cross that was looking for Chris Ramos. That’s where Mauricio Pellegrino’s team got excited and Guardiola had the second for the locals.
The exchange of the last minutes did not move a distribution with which Cádiz sees itself one day closer to relegation, without taking advantage of Celta’s defeat, five points away from remaining. Six up, Mallorca, still under pressure but not as much, left the Silver Cup happier, with Muriqi as MVP.
Likewise, and despite their third consecutive day adding points, Granada is running out of time, 10 points away from safety with 15 left to play. José Ramón Sandoval’s men once again showed pride in Los Cármenes and Pellistri, Uzuni and Lucas Boyé scored the goals to knock down an objectiveless Osasuna in the middle of the table.
