Sampaoli’s men fall at home against Rayo and Coudet’s men lose (3-1) in Almería
MADRID, 29 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Sevilla lost (0-1) at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán this Saturday in the visit of Rayo Vallecano, extending a league season that has not recovered, in the same way that RC Celta is glued to the relegation zone with its defeat (3-1) against Almeria.
The team from the fringe stormed the Andalusian capital thanks to a great goal by Álvaro García at match time. Iraola’s men, who had just scored five goals against Cádiz, are even close to the European zone in the midst of a good moment that contrasts with that of the rival.
Jorge Sampaoli took charge of the Sevillian team on October 6, replacing Julen Lopetegui, and since then he has won two in seven games. The sensations were not bad at the beginning, but Sevilla lack confidence, game and punch, which they showed during the week against Copenhagen but which did not continue.
The battle against Rayo began evenly, locked even in midfield, but the pressure from the Madrid team tipped the balance. Camello forgave a couple of good occasions, with one loss after another by the locals, who were also unable to reach the other area in danger. Sampaoli changed tactics after the break but lost midfield to a serious Rayo.
The people of Madrid, who have already messed up Barça and Atlético so far this year, confirmed their intentions at Pizjuán with a 0-1 draw, although Álvaro García himself pardoned the sentence. Lamela was the reference that Sevilla finally found up front, but the feeling of danger did not translate clearly at times. He lacked faith and shot in the final siege to a Seville that is still touched and down.
In addition, in the morning session in Almería, the Andalusian team got three important points in a direct duel against RC Celta, both teams needed to move away from the lower zone. Rubi’s men came from behind a great goal from youth squad Gabriel Veiga, consecration of the Galician.
The new son and pearl of Celtism went from hero to villain even in the first half, when six minutes later he saw a red card in an entry that the VAR reviewed. The frozen image did not admit doubts of the tacos in the rival, although it did not seem a premeditated action.
What yes, was a change of script that Almería took advantage of to feel more comfortable. Rubi’s men had warned from a set piece and it wasn’t until the second half when they found the goals. Lazaro finished off a quick transition to make it 1-1 at 55′. Celta did not give up the attack but the aim was a local thing, with the award from the edge of the box for César de la Hoz in the 2-1.
Almería knew how to keep their income and kill in the discount, when they let the clock pass in the corner, through Eguaras. For those from Vigo it means a victory in eight games, with 11 points and the option of falling to the relegation zone, for the 13 of the Almerian.
