King's Cup | Almería 0-Sevilla 1: Ocampos pays another round for Sevilla

Sevilla became the first semifinalist of the Copa del Rey after beating Almería by the minimum, only survivor of Second. Lopetegui's men had to put on their overalls to decide on a tie in which Almería had their options, but which opted for a spectacular header from Ocampos. We had to wait until minute 67 to see the only goal of the game but it was worth it. Suso took a short corner, the ball returned to Cádiz and his warm pass ended up inside Fernando's goal after a great foreshortening by Ocampos.

But until that moment, the party could fall to either side. José Gomes completely changed the starting eleven, betting on the same team that started in the previous tie against Osasuna. But the total rotation did not imply any change in the style of play of an Almería who always bet on getting the ball played, despite the fact that the advance pressure of Sevilla worked on a couple of occasions, bringing danger to Fernando's area. Those of Lopetegui, on the other hand, had a lot of difficulties to string together plays. Only the connection between Rakitic and Papu Gómez, hyperactive in his debut, allowed to advance meters, while the Gudelj-Fernando couple short-circuited. The clearest occasion of the first act was at the feet of Ramazani, who did not hit an empty goal after a monumental error by Bono, undecided in his exit. Sevilla did not finish finishing their arrivals and the set piece did not work either.

Lopetegui took out his artillery in the second half and Suso's entry to the field was decisive. So did Almería, who with the presence of Sadiq on the pitch, he put fear in Sevilla's body. However, the locals did not complete their arrivals, in the same way that Sevilla did not sentence either causing uncertainty in theirs. But the marker no longer moved. As in the round of 16 against Leganés, Ocampos signs up for another eliminatory more for yours.
