Three other fundamental points so that the final stretch of the season is as uneventful as possible. Sevilla FC won this Sunday afternoon in Las Palmas, in a match that ended very quickly with a direct red card to Saúl Coco after five minutes. It was difficult, however, to open the can, until an unappealable header from En-Nesyri made it 0-1 on the brink of half-time.. It was not easy in the second half to maintain the advantage, against a UD Las Palmas with more impetus than clairvoyance, but as the minutes passed they went ahead with nothing to lose. Something that Quique’s team knew how to take advantage of Already in the extension, with a magnificently braided counter from the own area that Lukebakio sealed after a rejection by Escandell. This saved the suspense, at least, of the last two minutes of added time.
Only three minutes had passed when perhaps the most decisive play of the match occurred. With the yellow defense very advanced from the start, Isaac puts it deep for the surprise arrival of Gudelj, who begins his journey towards Escandell’s goal until Saúl Coco knocks him down with no option to get the ball. Muñiz Ruiz chooses to show yellow, but he was soon warned by Pizarro Gómez, from the VAR, that the action deserved to be reviewed. Indeed, after passing through the monitor and with 85 minutes left, Las Palmas was left numerically inferior. Something that, however, did not push Quique to change his initial idea. Sevilla did not rush, having their first clear chance with a deflected shot by Isaac midway through the first half.
Sevilla defended well in the second half and sentenced the counterattack
The visiting team timidly approached a UD Las Palmas team that could not get to the top with enough troops. A very focused shot by Ramos and another attempt by Isaac, one-on-one with Escandell, made the Nervionenses win on points. However, That superiority did not reach the scoreboard until the 43rd minute, with a great cross from Gudelj from the left and an unappealable header from En-Nesyri, impossible for Escandell. Once the match restarted, Isaac soon had it again after a good unmarking on the left, but the Lebrija native’s cross at the far post narrowly missed the finisher. Quique looked for legs and brought on Agoumé and Navas after the hour mark.
Las Palmas was forced to go up and Sevilla did not give up, remaining very firm at the back and looking for a long ball to En-Nesyri. Isaac, for his part, gave way to Lukebakio, who would end up being decisive. Former Sevilla player Sandro had the two clearest chances on the yellow side, with a long shot near the post and a powerful free kick that Nyland took over.. In another ball hanging in the area, already in the extension, Lukebakio’s first clearance gave rise to a well-organized action by En-Nesyri and Agoumé, which ended with a rebound from Escandell and a shot into the net, without opposition, from himself. Lukebakio. Three points in the bag and nine ahead with Cádiz with seven games to go. The next one, without Kike Salas due to suspension, will be on Monday the 22nd at home against RCD Mallorca.
