After the first half of a clear Sevilla domination, Venezuela’s Darwin Machís put Granada in the lead in an isolated attack in the middle of this period, but Diego Carlos of Brazil soon neutralized his target and already in second place came the Argentinean Ocampos. After VAR confirmed its target, he returned curiously, and although Granada was equal to two, Mir and Argentine Papu Gómez drew the win in the 93rd and 99th minutes..
Two needy teams were measured, albeit for very different goals: Sevilla to strengthen their ‘Champion’ position after four unwinnable matches (3 draws and a defeat at Camp Nou the other day); and Granada’s only victory in their last 12 games and finding peace by walking away from the relegation line.
Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui brings three changes Mexican midfielder Jesús ‘Tecatito’ Corona, Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri and Swedish left-back Ludwig Augustinsson compared to the eleventh (1-0) of the last defeat for Serbian Gudelj with Argentinian Erik against Barcelona and Dutch Rekik.

Sevilla kicked off this is the Andalusian duel of loveFor different reasons, for the two of them, but always lacking clarity, finishing touches and perhaps more ambition, because given Granada’s willingness, he was very disciplined but not very sharp, controlling the game, playing and playing, although without any danger. .
The first half was clearly dominated by Sevilla.While they don’t have a further stride offensively to really put a spartan rojiblanco team in trouble, they’re sober and determined on defense, giving nothing to their opponents and very effective in their first clear scoring chances.
Thus, Venezuela’s Darwin Machís put Granada ahead by scoring after stealing the ball on dangerous terrain in an isolated attack in the middle of this period. Good goal from inside the right foot in the 23rd minute.
However, despite the traffic jam and lack of insight in the attack, Seville soon found the reward for their persistence and harassment of the Granada region, half an hour later, and 1-1 with Brazilian defender Diego Carlos SantosA magnificent cross headed from the right by Jesús Navas.
The Sevilla captain was the most accurate with his attacks from the right of his team, he lacked the idea and could not convey his superiority on the scoreboard despite the lob kick by Navas, where Portugal’s Maximiano had a corner kick, despite his control. The , was a cross from Milla after Suárez headed.
After the restart, the rhythm of the conflict changed, it was more active. Sevilla paced and Granada never gave up, and although Suárez sought a goal in the 62nd minute on a shot into the corner by the always very successful Moroccan Bono, Lopetegui’s men put pressure and They found a prize in the 67th minute with the goal of Argentinian Lucas Ocampos..
This 2-1 cast doubt on a move by Tecatito Corona, who dribbled Ocampos from the left to dribble Maximiano and managed to beat him, but the goal was not conceded in the first place due to a possible offside. He gave validity after interfering with VAR though Mexican.
Sevilla kept up the pace and stood upright with the changes, especially with the active Rafa Mir coming into the game. Murcian went to Germán in the 76th minute to score a goal that was canceled due to a foul against an even more ambitious Granada. A shot from Albanian Myrto Uzuni hitting Bono’s left post.
Uruguayan Arezo also tried in the 88th minute, but faced the Moroccan goalkeeper until the same minute. former sevillista Víctor Díaz won 2-2 two minutes after regulation 90 on the way to a corner taken by a talented Luis Milla.
