Koundé and Rafa Mir put Sevilla in the second round

Sevilla is ready for anything this season and is already in the second round of the Copa del Rey. He passed the tie this time without the hardships he suffered in the two previous pairings, against Córdoba and Andratx, both of the non-professional category and before whom he needed extra time and penalties, respectively. On this occasion, in front of a historical one like Zaragoza, Lopetegui’s team was very solvent despite the difficulties it has in the form of casualties, since it has lost many players due to injury, the African Cup, Covid and the muscular stress that involves repeating efforts every three days.

But it is what wants to go far in all competitions has. After defeating Cádiz with the position in the first game of the year, the Andalusians are following in the wake of Real Madrid in the lead and in the Cup they also want to give their chest a do.

It was Koundé and Rafa Mir who sentenced a handy team that disturbed its rival in a phase of the second half, but that did not show any packaging to treat a Champions team like Sevilla. José Ignacio Martínez, in a hurry due to the progress in the League, also moved his eleven, a team that found the first goal against a Koundé shoe that surprised Ratón after half an hour of play. The 0-1 was the best that could happen to the interests of Lopetegui, who wanted to get the tie back on track as soon as possible, just what had given him problems against two RFEF Second teams.

Sevilla had to do it very badly to not be in the hype this Friday, but Lopetegui jumped on the bench nervously in search of the sentence, which could come in a couple of actions by Rafa Mir and one by Ocampos. The Murcian was able to make it 0-3 in a counter and after a failure of Ratón in the delivery and the Argentine in a play of his usual race in which he shot heeled and strong but did not exceed the goal of Zaragoza.
