REAL ZARAGOZA 0 – SEVILLA 2 I The redemption of Cafú Koundé

Sevilla’s dressing task in Zaragoza to get the pass to the second round of the Cup with two claws And without fanfare, perhaps because the casualty truck that Lopetegui is pulling with, in the absence of any reinforcement from Baltasar Monchi, does not give much more. Juan Ignacio Martínez mixed substitutes and starters and his team faced a Champions rival in some phases of the duel, although with more courage than real danger.

Cafú Koundé is going to march, this time he was a center-back but even in that position he retains a certain desire to join the attack. After his expulsion against Barcelona, ​​two or three million fell on the stock market, a price that he has more than recovered after being redeemed in La Romareda. Sevilla had not yet tested Ratón, asphyxiated by good pressure from Zaragoza, although JIM’s did not create danger beyond a deflected shot from Borja Sainz inside the area. Then the French defender appeared on the edge of the area to catch a rebound and put it with a great blow in the corner, impossible for the stretch of the local goalkeeper (0-1, 31 ‘).

JIM’s team shot with pride, fueled above all by the momentum of Chavarría on the left, but before the break he was only able to approach with some set pieces that did not even disturb Dmitrovic, placid substitute until then for Bono in the Sevilla goal . The Serbian goalkeeper would sweat a bit more in a fit of faith and dignity from Zaragoza at the beginning of the second half, Aragonese capable of encircling the Sevilla area and creating an occasion of danger until Ocampos connected with Rafa Mir, who was returning after several days of absence, and the Murcian finished the duel (0-2, 69 ‘). The remaining 20 minutes were only used to see the desire of several kids in both teams: Puche and Franco at Zaragoza and Nacho Quintaba, who made his debut with the Nervión team.
