SEVILLA 1 – GETAFE 0 I Mir enlightens the aspirant

A high-heeled goal by Rafa Mir defeated Getafe and it allows Sevilla to resist the passage of Real Madrid, five points and one game less than the whites. Those of Lopetegui have achieved it in recent times with the minimalism of the 1-0, without showing off and with the firm step constantly threatened by misfortune and casualties. The last to fall, doubt that he becomes for the Cup derby, is Jules Koundé, to which a costalazo left in the booth with the end of the first part.

Sevilla was already winning by then thanks to a play by that pylon hammer that responds to the name of Lucas Ocampos and a heeled shot, to the cuff, of a Rafa Mir (1-0, 22 ‘) that scares away suspicions based on goals, 9 has already been this season. It helped, a lot, the ex-Sevilla player David Soria, clueless and not very forceful in his stick. The ball did not go hard into the goal.

Conceived more for containment than deployment, tol Getafe of the five defenders only knew one clear chance in the whole game and it was before that 1-0. Koundé, who already seemed affected (of mind, at least) before suffering the blow, lost the ball and Fernando stole Maksimovic’s wallet when the Serbian was preparing to shoot his compatriot Dmitrovic. Marko will have the difficult mission of supplying Bono, in the Africa Cup, and was only required in two distant shots, especially a strong one from Aleñá, and some aerial ball while Getafe suffered from depth and Sevilla let the minutes pass while trying to sentence the counter.

Mir scored another two goals but in both the Murcian regretted the offside, and Papu was encouraged from outside the area, but the marker would not move again. Getafe cuts a six-game streak without losing but his defensive seriousness is consoled again, this time without attacking accompaniment. And Sevilla celebrates another victory that puts more land involved in their desire to repeat in the Champions League, three points that allow him to enliven the almost utopian dream of LaLiga, moral necessary to face the derby from the cupbearer next Saturday.
