Banega and Ocampos are a mine

A goal from Lucas Ocampos, the 17th that marks this season, puts Sevilla in the semifinals of their competition, the Europa League, after an exercise of patience, touch football and resistance that ended up imposing on the rudimentary but very well executed football of the Wolves. The English team has on its staff nine Portuguese, including their coach, Nuno, but he practices low defense and kick and rush with the precision that was found on the islands 30 years ago, marinated this one by no small quality. It almost worked out for him, or at least it started to work out, because he missed a penalty that would have made things much more difficult for the team of Lopetegui. Bono stopped him and then the field always tilted down for the Nervionenses, who are placed in the penultimate step towards the title for the sixth time their history. Manchester United awaits Sunday, nothing more and nothing less. In Suburb.

“Don't let a rod move”, had harangued Monchi through social networks hours after eliminating the Rome brilliantly. And Lopetegui paid attention to him. The Basque coach did not touch the lineup, that although in the previous one it warned that the Wolves They do not resemble the Italian team at all, they once again faced a defense of three centrals. But this one much more armored, predisposed to not having the ball and hopping around his goalkeeper when necessary. Against teams like this, Sevilla has usually felt uncomfortable this season and it happened again.

The Dutch pivot Dendoncker, one of the novelties of the English eleven, I chased Banega to the bathroom. Navas, Ocampos and Reguilón they barely had room to run and Sevilla had a hard time basing plays near the rival area. Nor is it that Wolverhampton, who did not want the ball, created too much danger … for whoever created it: nothing less than a penalty. Adama touched the ball little but when he did he was almost unstoppable. At 10 minutes he mounted a tremendous gallop from his own field and Diego Carlos had no choice but to knock him down when he faced Bono. The Moroccan goalkeeper justified his new ownership, although Vaclik has already been recovered for weeks. Bono endured the paradinha to Raúl Jiménez and, beware, caused the first failure of the Mexican forward from 11 meters in his entire professional club career. He had only missed one before, of 27 pitches, and it had been with his team.

The extra life did not spur enough to a Seville that had come out winded, which almost never resembled the one who marveled in the second round. Not enough to disturb Rui Patricio often. Some isolated shot of Suso, a kick of Ocampos, uncomfortable on the field, who left near the post and several corner kicks without even a shot were what gave light to those of Nerve, who went to the locker room with the happiness of the rival failure from the penalty spot.

It was difficult for Sevilla to find a gap also in the second half but Ocampos did it. But Jordan, who had to finish his death pass on goal, stole Dendoncker's wallet. The Catalan regretted not having protected his shot in a very clear goal semi-occasion. In Nesiry, shortly after, crashed after a great play in front of the goalkeeper. Neither Kooundé approached to finish between the three suits a good center tempered by Suso.

Banega put Rui Patricio to the test in a frontal foul that came out too centered. He had already brazenly stepped into his fold long ago the Wolverhampton, who was still relatively comfortable and was waiting for an opportunity to bite into a long ball, a counter, a ball into the area … The one who scored like this, however, was Sevilla. Banega spotted the penalty spot and found Ocampos there, your barbecue partner, that he combed enough to get in after bouncing, as the canons of the head butt command. There was no time for anything.
