Sevilla experienced one of its most peaceful days of the season. He won with absolute justice against a dedicated and weak Oviedo. They did so, furthermore, filled with players from the reserve team and regular substitutes, which reinforces the merit of their victory. It also consecrated the decline of Oviedo. The Asturian team has now gone nine games without winning (five defeats and four draws) and six without scoring. He also remains the incredible coach who has not won in the top category after 17 games (seven draws and 10 losses). The win by Sevilla leaves the Oviedo project very affected. It is not surprising that there may be news regarding Carrión’s future. With so much football weakness, attitudes like that of Carmo also clash, who saw two yellow cards in a row with everything lost to be sent off in the second half. The Andalusian team, meanwhile, breathes with an important victory, which places them with 20 points in the quiet zone of the table (five from relegation). Good victory for coach Matías Almeyda and vindication of players like Akor Adams. A rough forward, who causes the division of the Andalusian team, but yesterday he put together a great game to dismantle the Asturian defense.

Urged by the victories of Girona and Mallorca, who were pushing the relegation zone very close, Sevilla and Oviedo faced the duel with some uneasiness in the case of the Andalusians and anguish on the part of the Asturians. He was missing up to 10 players, including injuries and suspensions. A slab for a team as weak as Sevilla. The nerves at the beginning turned into a certain poise after Agoumé saw his teammate Akor uncheck. After four minutes Sevilla was already winning. Oviedo’s previous anguish turned into a collapse. A flan in defense and without capacity in attack, Carrión’s men saw Sevilla score the second goal in their second appearance in the Asturian area. On this occasion it was Sow who scored the second Sevilla goal. In between, an eternal VAR review of a possible handball by Mendy in the local area. An eternal analysis of Raúl Martín. Six minutes to finish clarifying that there was a previous foul on the Sevilla player.
Sevilla, comfortable with its line of three centre-backs, confidently maintained its lead on the scoreboard during a first act in which Oviedo was unable to shoot. Attention was drawn in the Pizjuán by the booing of the numerous visiting fans when the name of Luis Carrión was heard on the public address system. It will be for a reason. Later, those same fans constantly called for his resignation.
Carrión played with a three-center defense in the second half. Really, there is little you can do on a team that is completely broken. Sevilla responded with a great play by Mendy inside the area, including a cutback, to make it 3-0. The Andalusian team was very effective. Practically, every shot between the (the goalkeeper who makes the most saves in the League) became a goal. Half for the good day of their players and half for the facilities offered by the weak Oviedo defense. Oviedo had possession of the ball at 3-0. A useless exercise, since Sevilla took advantage of it to counterattack dangerously. Aarón appeared with two good saves against Akor, a forward who vindicated himself before leaving to play in the African Cup with Nigeria. Ejuke also did it in the last minute with another good goal inside the area. The winger will accompany Akor in the African competition.
