Sevilla realized the urgency go to break with victory Since LaLiga was previously disrupted due to national teams’ commitments, the team has improved its performance but won few matches in this tight and challenging schedule between domestic and continental competition.

Because, José Luis Mendilibar came out with enthusiasm To repeat their victories in their last two league matches against Sánchez-Pizjuán -Las Palmas and Almería- Francisco Rodríguez’s also showed their resources and good dispositions in the field from the beginning.

The locals looked for a direct game with the ball lolling into the area when the opportunity arose for Morocco’s Youssef En-Nesyri to make his powerful dive, but once the ball was in their possession the visitors were also quite direct. , which has happened many times.

For this reason, The first goal of the match came after the first quarter of an hour.

Djibril Sow scored the first goal as a Sevilla player five minutes later and brought the local team into the game.

The match of the Andalusian team, which was looking for a draw, turned into harassmentThis led to Francisco interrupting the dynamic by entering the Unai López area in place of the Argentine Óscar Trejo, but Sevilla persisted against the Vallecano formation, which took good cover and tried to interrupt the opposition’s rhythm so that the stopwatch counted in your favour. .

The passage of time reduced Sevilla’s intensity but not their consistency, resulting in En-Nesyri’s header after a corner. He made it 2-2 in the last match It was a match that somewhat alleviated the disaster that came with a new defeat.
