And this game has come this far !! Thanks for following it with us! We hope you enjoyed the meeting and its broadcast. Until next time!
Point and end to LaLiga 2020/21 with the triumph of Sevilla. A season is closing that has ended with the LaLiga title for Atlético de Madrid and the relegations of Eibar, Real Valladolid and Huesca.
Deportivo Alavés closes the course with a defeat but with some bases in place for next season. With Javi Calleja on the bench, the Vitoria team will seek to suffer less in the 2021/22 season.
The victory saw Sevilla end the league season with 77 points, setting their best record in the same season in the top flight and surpassing the 76 achieved by Unai Emery in the 2014/15 season.
Sevilla takes all three points !!! A lone goal by 'Papu' Gómez in injury time gives the Sevilla team the victory and defeats Deportivo Alavés (1-0). As a result of the changes, the Nervión team was sinking its rival in the opposite half of the field. Joselu had the goal before, who in hand-to-hand failed against a Vaclilk who said goodbye to the Nervión neighborhood at the end of his contractual relationship.
END OF THE GAME AT RAMÓN SÁNCHEZ PIZJUÁN !!!!
AND NOW IT HAS IT IN-NESYRI !!! The Moroccan tries to extend the distance with a dry shot that goes wide.
Joy on the Sevilla bench with a goal worth three points to make history! He is minutes away from achieving the best score of a season in the First Division.
Óliver Torres signs up the assistance.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL OF 'PAPU' GÓMEZ !!!!! SEVILLE 1-0 Deportivo Alavés. 'Papu' finds the bottom of the tights in injury time !!! The Argentine cuts Joselu in and takes a shoe from outside the area that ends at the bottom of the meshes. The lash makes a stranger to Fernando Pacheco, who makes the statue.
FIVE MINUTES DISCOUNT !! We will go until 95 '!
WHAT A STOP OF TOMÁS VACLIK !!!! JOSELU FORGIVES THE GOAL !!! The Albiazul forward battles hand in hand with the Czech goalkeeper, who takes his foot out to avoid the goal.
And now Sevilla responds through En-Nesyri !! It does not accommodate the body well and ends up making poor contact with the ball. It goes very off track.
Goeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeraaaaaaa !! What a shot from Joselu! The 'Pichichi' of the Vitoria team connects the first shot to a vertical center. It goes by very little.
Díaz de Mera Escuderos shows the yellow card to Julen Lopetegui for the repeated protests.
Rubén Duarte, lying on the ground. The defender albiazul receives a blow from Luuk de Jong in his attempt to defend a ball pumped into the area. It recovers.
Sevilla is pushing right now. It is settling in the opposite field.
Another try for En-Nesyri! The Sevilla striker is unable to give direction to his header.
EN-NESYRI CLAIMS PENALTY !!! Major anger of the Moroccan striker, who considers that Rubén Duarte's grip is worthy of pointing out the eleven meters. There is nothing punishable by Díaz de Mera Escuderos.
Final stretch of the game at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán !! Ten minutes remain until the end of the match. The tie at zero is maintained on the scoreboard.
AL PALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!! ABOUT TO MARK MANU GARCÍA !!! Luis Rioja serves a candy to the near post that the captain albiazul finishes off, gaining space from Koundé. His shot crashes into wood.
And he exhausts the quota of the changes with Rodrigo Battaglia. Rodrigo Battaglia leaves.
Double change in the ranks of Deportivo Alavés. Calleja enters Lucas Pérez. John Guidetti leaves.
LUUK DE JONG OUT OF PLAY !!! Ximo Navarro throws the line well and leaves the Dutch striker in an illegal position. Díaz de Mera Escuderos lets the play continue when in doubt but the striker fails to beat Pacheco in hand-to-hand.
The latest modifications from Lopetegui take Rekik to the left back. Instead, Gudelj takes center stage.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!! What an occasion for Deportivo Alavés !! Luis Rioja is unable to give direction to his header. It was brand free!
To Vaclik's hands !! Manu García fires the shot from medium distance. Easy for the Czech.
FACT. Joselu is Alavés' top scorer in LaLiga 2020/21 (11 goals) and has scored a goal in each of his last three matches in the competition (three goals). He can become the second player in the Vitoria team to score in four or more in a row in the 21st century after Lucas Pérez (seven in November 2019).
Calleja also leads to Joselu, who takes the place of Pere Pons.
Double change in the ranks of Deportivo Alavés. Luis Rioja comes on to the field for Facundo Pellistri.
Sivera asks for the change. The goalkeeper cannot continue. Pacheco accelerates to put on his kit.
Problems for Antonio Sivera. Pacheco comes down to the band to do warm-up exercises in case he can't continue. Meanwhile, Luis Rioja and Joselu prepare to enter the field.
Suuuuuusoooooooooo !!! The man from Cádiz kicks from outside the area. His shot takes too much curve.
FACT. The hit by Óscar Rodríguez that Sivera stops is the first shot on goal of the match. It took more than an hour.
Óscar Rodríguez's dry shot pocketed by Antonio Sivera. He tries it from the ledge of the area.
We reached game time at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. The goal is resisted (0-0).
Rubén Duarte fails to finish off the service from the right corner! The sevillista rear clears the danger.
FACT. Franco 'Mudo' Vázquez says goodbye to Sevilla after 198 games defending the white-and-red elastic, in which he has scored 26 goals and 18 assists.
And ovation for the 'Mudo' Vázquez, who has played his last match with the Sevilla shirt. Oliver Torres enters.
Give the alternative to Óscar Rodríguez, dispensing with Joan Jordán.
Triple change in the ranks of Sevilla. Lopetegui retires Ocampos to put Ivan Rakitic in.
Ocampos tries his luck with a shot from outside the area. Tachi touches it lightly, deflecting the trajectory.
Rakitic, ready to enter the field. It will be Julen Lopetegui's first move.
Hispanics raise their percentage of possession after the restart to 80%.
Instead, Lopetegui has Óliver Torres and 'Papu' Gómez do the first warm-up exercises.
Battaglia, Luis Rioja and Joselu warm up on the band. Calleja seeks resources.
Gudelj avoids Guidetti's header !! Edgar Méndez faces Aleix Vidal and serves a center to the area with a lot of poison. The Serbian midfielder prevents the Albiazul striker from shooting.
There are no changes to rest. Both Lopetegui and Calleja keep the same pieces that started the duel.
THE SECOND TIME STARTS AT THE RAMÓN SÁNCHEZ-PIZJUÁN !!!
Edgar Méndez is compromising the defensive strength of the team led by Julen Lopetegui. The Tenerife-born has forced Aleix Vidal's yellow card and is the footballer of the match with the most ball disputes (15), with 60% of duels won.
Through Pellistri and Edgar Méndez, the 'babazorros' have a presence in attack. Both extremes are managing to stretch the team and come out gracefully with Aleix Vidal and Sergio Escudero respectively.
Through Pellistri and Edgar Méndez, the 'babazorros' have a presence in attack. Both extremes are managing to stretch the team and come out gracefully with Aleix Vidal and Sergio Escudero respectively.
The Andalusians have taken possession of the ball (65% of possession) although that possession accumulated it in midfield areas or where it could not generate danger. At times, he has ended up sinking Alavés in his half of the field but Javi Calleja's team has not seen the result compromised.
Neither the Seville team nor the Vitoria team have finished between the three sticks during the first period. Both entities go to rest having fired three total shots.
Rest in the Nervión neighborhood !! Díaz de Mera Escuderos decrees the conclusion of the first 45 regulatory minutes. Sevilla and Deportivo Alavés take the road to the locker room with a zero tie on the scoreboard. Party that has developed very far from the two areas. With nothing at stake, the pace and intensity of the match is low.
END OF THE FIRST PART AT THE RAMÓN SÁNCHEZ-PIZJUÁN !!!
Rehearsal by Pere Pons to end a play. The shot goes very high.
What a failure of Vaclik !! Manu García puts a thread in the area in which the Czech does not coordinate his departure well. He tries to catch the leather but it slips out of his hands. It is a corner for the visitors.
FACT. Sevilla have won the last LaLiga game in the last four seasons, all of them at home and leaving a clean sheet. His last defeat in this match was in May 2016 against Athletic Club (3-1) and the last time he lost it playing at home was in June 2007 against Villarreal (0-1).
Final straight of the first period in the Nervión neighborhood. Five minutes remain to reach the changing room tunnel. Placid night for Vaclik and Sivera, who have not yet entered into action (0-0).
Manu García clearance! The 'babazorro' captain manages to ward off the danger served from the left.
Opportunity for Sevilla from a set piece. En-Nesyri forces the lack of Ximo Navarro in the band.
FUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERA !!!! ABOUT TO MARK TACHI !!!! Edgar Méndez prolonged the corner kick hanging towards the far post, who returned it to the danger zone for Tachi to connect the header. He cannot give him direction between the three suits.
Jules Koundé clearance! The Frenchman arrives earlier to prevent Deportivo Alavés from taking advantage of a set piece action. It is a corner for the visitors.
The fourth referee approaches the technical zone of the local team to call a Lopetegui who did not stop claiming the previous action to order.
Escudero claims a lack of Manu García. The Albiazul captain pushes to the side when he armed his leg for the strike. Lopetegui protests from his technical area.
Sivera comes out fists! With great courage, the Deportivo Alavés goalkeeper leaves his frame to leave with determination to avoid En-Nesyri's header.
Half an hour of play at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. Not a shot between the three suits so far (0-0).
Díaz de Mera Escuderos admonishes Aleix Vidal for a tackle that stops the counterattack mounted by Edgar Méndez.
In that sense, Deportivo Alavés is betting on the same profile as its rival. Pellistri's driving on the right means that the Albiazules have developed 45% of their game in the last sector on the right side.
The Seville team is turning their offensive game towards the wings. Its circulation in the last third of the field is developed especially by the right wing (45.6%).
After halfway through the first half, the game is developing far from the two areas. The battle is in the midfield.
Pellistri falls within the Sevilla area !! In his attempt to tame the ball, the Uruguayan ends up colliding head-on with Rekik. Diaz de Mera Escuderos asks him to get up.
Ocampos does not finish! The Argentine, with the option of shooting from the front, decides to control a ball served from the right. Deportivo Alavés reacts in time to top him and close the gaps.
FACT. This season En-Nesyri has scored more goals (18) in LaLiga than those achieved in his last two seasons (17). He is 23 years old.
En-Nesyri runs out of field! The Moroccan throws the uncheck into space, dodges Sivera's exit but runs out of meters to finish with a shot.
RUBÉN DUARTE AVOIDES SUSO'S SHOT !!! Rectification of the Albiazul defender, who recovers from the dribbling of the Sevilla player to prevent his shot from finding the three sticks.
Gudelj's front ball looking for Koundé to uncheck after a corner kick was caught by Sivera without problems.
First quarter of an hour in the Nervión neighborhood. Sevilla sets the pace of the game from control of the ball (0-0).
Youssef En-Nesyri does not get the maneuver inside the area. The international for Morocco is well marked by Tachi, avoiding a shooting situation.
Edgar Méndez whiplash! From the peak of the area, the Tenerifean tries with a powerful shot that goes slightly off the track.
Pellistri is mobilizing the attack of the Vitoria team. The Uruguayan conduits force Sevilla to make aid coverage.
The circulation of Sevilla is sinking Deportivo Alavés in its half of the field.
Long possessions of the Seville team. Little by little, the locals are leaving their mark.
Gudelj rehearses the shot from outside the area. It is blocked by the 'babazorra' defense.
Vaclik anticipates Edgar Méndez. The Sevilla keeper takes over the ball.
The ball is owned by Sevilla. His possession percentage exceeds 65%.
Equal start in Nervión. Both teams score.
Deportivo Alavés's first dangerous approach !! Pellistri faces Escudero and surpasses him in speed, reaching the baseline and serving a low center to the heart of the area that does not find a spiker.
In an albiazul key, Javi Calleja bets on a five-man line in the center of the field, with Edgar Méndez on the left and Pellistri on the right. Guidetti, only offensive reference.
There are no surprises in the eleven of Seville. Lopetegui places a double pivot formed by Jordán and Gudelj that frees 'Mudo' Vázquez from defensive responsibilities, placing himself as a hitch with En-Nesyri.
THE GAME STARTS AT RAMÓN SÁNCHEZ PIZJUÁN !!! Guidetti puts the ball in play now !!
We already have both teams on the pitch! This is about to go! Are you going to miss it?
The collegiate Isidro Díaz de Mera Escuderos, belonging to the Referees Committee of Castilla-La Mancha, will be in charge of delivering justice. The manchego puts the end of his first experience as a referee in the First Division tonight, directing his 19th match. He will be assisted at the VAR by Adrián Cordero Vega (Cantabria Referees Committee).
Javi Calleja, who has collected 15 points out of 24 possible points with the Vitoria team, has not lost in any of his three visits to Sevilla in LaLiga (1V 2E), all of them in front of Villarreal.
Youssef En-Nesyri has scored 18 goals in 37 LaLiga games this season, one more than in his previous two seasons together (17 goals in 67 games). He is the first Sevilla player to score 13 home goals this season in the competition since Kevin Gameiro in 2015/16 (14).
Deportivo Alavés have won their last two LaLiga matches, against Elche and Granada. He has not linked three consecutive victories in the top flight since October 2018 (3) with Abelardo Fernández as coach.
The Seville team has lost two of its last four LaLiga matches (1V 1E), as many defeats as in its previous 16 matches in the competition (13V 1E). If he wins, he will reach 77 points, establishing his best record in the same campaign in the highest category (76 in 2014/15).
Sevilla have lost two of the three games they have played at home in LaLiga 2020/21 against Basque rivals (1V), against Eibar and Athletic Club, after not having lost any of their previous 16 at home to them in the competition (12V 4E).
After losing their first home game in LaLiga against Alavés (1-2 in October 1954), the Nervión team have not lost any of their next nine home games against them in the competition (7V 2E). He has scored in all his home matches against Vitoria in the highest category.
Sevilla have not lost in any of their last six games against Deportivo Alavés in LaLiga (4W 2E), their best streak without a defeat against Vitoria in the competition. They haven't lost since a 1-0 away loss in January 2018 with Vincenzo Montella as coach.
CALLEJA GIVES OPPORTUNITIES TO THE LEAST COMMON !!! With the permanence already guaranteed, the coach gives rest to the heavyweights of the squad and gives ownership to those who have had fewer minutes throughout the course. Thus, Guidetti will play Joselu and Sivera de Pacheco, among other changes.
ELEVEN OF FAREWELLS IN SEVILLE !!! Julen Lopetegui has several footballers whose future aims to be far from Nervión as of next season. Thus, the coach puts many rotations, gives rest to key players such as Bono, Rakitic, Navas or Fernando and gives ownership to Franco Vázquez and Vaclik, who end their contract.
For his part, Javier Calleja comes out with the following eleven players (4-3-3): Antonio Sivera – Ximo Navarro, Tachi, Florian Lejeune, Rubén Duarte – Pere Pons, Tomás Pina, Manu García – Edgar Méndez, John Guidetti and Facundo Pellistri.
We already have the initial eleven confirmed !! Julen Lopetegui puts the following line-up into the fray (4-3-3): Tomás Vaclik – Aleix Vidal, Jules Koundé, Karim Rekik, Sergio Escudero – Joan Jordán, Nemanja Gudelj, Franco 'Mudo' Vázquez – Suso, Youssef En-Nesyri and Lucas Ocampos.
The hand of Javier Calleja supposed a renewal of stimuli and energy in a punished locker room. He grabbed the Albiazul team as bottom and has managed to save him a day in advance.
The season will not go down in history precisely for a Deportivo Alavés that has lived its centenary campaign with some anguish. The appointment of a third coach resolved what neither Pablo Machín nor Abelardo Fernández achieved, achieving permanence thanks to a last month of good results.
Whether it is achieved or not, the 2020/21 campaign will be in the memory of all Sevilla fans, a historic season in which it threatened Atlético de Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona by being a contender for the LaLiga title. With no options to assault third place, today's three points are important to make history.
With the place guaranteed to participate in the next edition of the Champions League, the Nervión team will seek victory at home to finish an outstanding season with 77 points, which would mean surpassing the 76 achieved by Unai Emery in the 2014/15 campaign and set the best score in your history.
Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán closes the 2020/21 LaLiga season !! Sevilla and Deportivo Alavés face off in what is the last official commitment of a campaign that has been resolved with the Atlético de Madrid championship and with the relegation of Eibar, Real Valladolid and Sociedad Deportiva Huesca.
Good night Everybody!! Welcome to the broadcast of this match between Sevilla Fútbol Club and Deportivo Alavés, corresponding to the thirty-eighth and last day of LaLiga 2020/21. We start with the preview of the meeting (9:00 p.m.)!
