Valjent cuts his wings to Sevilla and gives Mallorca air in the fight for Europe | Soccer | Sports

A serious mistake of the goal Nyland, which enabled the shot of, cut off the wings to Sevilla, which touched a triumph that brought him closer to the European fight and that had to settle for the draw, just after what was seen in Nervión. Sevilla was superior in the first half, although it collapsed in the final stretch of the clash, when Mallorca, relaunched by the changes, especially that of Robert Navarro, put the local goal fence until the same was equalized in the lengthening. The Balearic Islands deserved the tie.

The anger of Jagoba Arrasate was justified. Old dog, I knew that Mascarell’s lack in the last play of the first half could have negative consequences for his team. And so much. The Mallorca defended the ball stopped very badly and, after two rebounds, which marked volley. While his alleged involvement is resolved in a possible fraud for illegal bets, the Canterano defense scored his first goal of the season.

It was the key play of a very matched first half, where Sevilla played his cards better against a very defensive Mallorca. Andalusians have trouble doing football, but they find shortcuts. In a subtle heel of Saul that Salas crashed on Mascarell’s face, which saved the goal, or in the numerous internships by the left wing of Vargas, very well seconded by Pedrosa. Also in some lukébakio incursion to changed leg. , without depth or speed, defended more or less well, until the defensive error and the goal of Salas arrived.

Sevilla maintained the command of the party. He lacked some quality in the definition to close a match he controlled, something that he did not achieve for his inability to the last pass and the auction. Vargas and Saul tried, without success. Isaac also, very alone before so much defense. The second goal did not arrive and the reaction of Mallorca. Robert Navarro enjoyed two clear goal chances after two mistakes in defense of the premises. Sevilla languished, with razate making changes and impassive pepper.

The Mallorca tie in a Mojica center that Larin de Milagro did not arrive. Sevilla, nervous and tired, was unable to master the ball, surpassed in the final stretch by the Balearic team. In the 91st minute, another central, like Valjent, marked the draw after a Nyland error, which went wrong after a ball focused on the area by the dangerous Robert Navarro. The goal asked for lack of Larin, but there was not. , wasted a great opportunity to achieve his second consecutive victory for the first time in the League. The point feeds the European options of Mallorca, which knew how to react in the second half.

“I am screwed. The game has been very good in attitude and arrivals, but you have to make the second goal. We are not successful and these things can happen. They have put a ball in the area and have made us draw, ”said García Pimienta, the coach of Sevilla. “The attitude has been very good. We have had the ball, we have arrived and granted little except at the end. We have lacked effectiveness, but we have made merits to win, ”concluded the Andalusian team coach.

“I don’t want to talk about Europe because the first thing we must do is close the permanence. And we don’t have the points for it. Now we must prepare well for the next clash, where, if we win Alavés, we will be closer to our goal, ”said Jagoba Arrasate, Mallorca coach.
