Gaizka Garitano's men cannot beat Betis with 10
Mallorca and Alavés continue their bad trend at home and away
MADRID, 3 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Sevilla and Villarreal shared (1-1) an intense duel this Sunday at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on matchday 15 of LaLiga EA Sports, two teams far from their goals, while Almería still has not won this season, despite who played against Real Betis with one more for 60 minutes (0-0), and Mallorca and Alavés left another scoreless division in the lower zone.
The Nervión team wants to but cannot, while Diego Alonso's position remains up in the air, perhaps saved because the VAR annulled a goal by Brereton in the 95th minute due to a foul. The Marcelino García Toral effect was close to silencing the Pizjuán in a frenetic second half, where the icing on the cake was not just a yellow card.
Sevilla struck first through Kike Salas, but the Asturian coach's goal man, José Luis Morales, scored his seventh goal in four games to make it 1-1 in the 77th minute. Both teams looked for the goal and had it, although That Chilean goal annulled by the VAR was undoubtedly the closest, in a distribution that does not make anyone poor, although Villarreal is another with Marcelino.
Furthermore, Almería did not win this weekend either, 15 games without winning, despite a direct red card to Héctor Bellerín at half an hour. The locals protested the referee's decision, but the fact is that Gaizka Garitano's men, playing at home, were not able to score even a goal against their rival.
Ramazani, Arribas, Embarba, Akieme and a former Betic like Leo Baptistao were losing their minds against Rui Silva returning with honors to the Betic goal. Manuel Pellegrini's team minimized damage to be seventh, one point behind the European zone, while Almería adds a fourth point that does not change its bad outlook.
Below, Mallorca and Alavés also did not go beyond a goalless draw in Son Moix. The Balearic team, which still has not won at home, remains at the mercy of the relegation zone with 11 points, while the Basque team, which does not know how to win outside its home field, breathes a little more with 16.
With those streaks, the tie seemed a foregone conclusion, but the goalkeepers were to blame. Rajkovic began by stopping the visitors' chances, while Antonio Sivera was the protagonist in the second half, stopping Mallorca's attempt, especially given the challenge for his team that Cyle Larin represented.
