Sevilla breathes at the end in Coudet's promising debut

The Seville added his second consecutive victory at Sánchez Pizjuán to forget his losing streak against a Celtic in which the staging of Eduardo Coudet, who made his debut without being able to sit on the bench and left a good impression, dominating a great rival like the Andalusian in many minutes of the game, although he was finally punished in the last five minutes with two goals that left the three points at home.

In Sevilla, with many problems to recover troops, it seems that he is recovering his tone. And that that fell at the last minute for a positive in Covid-19 goalkeeper Bono. It was just a few hours before when the club confirmed the loss of the Moroccan, which was added to that of Carlos Fernández, also due to coronavirus. On the contrary, Jesús Navas and Acuña, with whom hardly anyone counted due to injury, were able to arrive on time and formed in the Andalusian eleven.

The premises had an overwhelming start, with arrivals from Ocampos, En-Nesyri … who warned before the early riser so much of Koundé, who took advantage of a corner kick finished off by Diego Carlos and to score into an empty goal after Rubén Blanco's response.

But Celta did not wrinkle and detected the vulnerable point in the left wing of Sevilla, where Lopetegui He lined up Acuña without, apparently, being recovered. However, it was a huge mistake by Vaclik that made the Vigo tie possible. A Hugo Mallo cross surprised the Czech goalkeeper, who made a mess with the post and left the ball dead so that Iago Aspas he will shoot him at will.

The Andalusian team had to start from scratch again, but it was not comfortable on the pitch, with defensive imbalances and reaching the top only by impulse.

Acuña had to leave before the break and his place was occupied by Escudero, but with Valladolid just three minutes on the field, another imbalance in his band was the origin of 1-2, the work of Nolito by taking advantage of a rejection of Vaclik.

Things did not look good for those of Lopetegui, who nevertheless achieved the equalized by means of a En-Nesyri header in the discount of the first part after a great center in Navas to add a new attendance on his 35th birthday.

At the start of the second half came the best minutes of Celta, who was close to putting himself ahead on the scoreboard for the second time through Iago Aspas and Santi Mina in two actions in which Vaclik became the savior of the Nervionenses.

Sevilla despaired with a Celtic opposite that he closed the spaces and that he left with courage, but he found in the end with a stroke of luck, not without first putting all the meat on the grill with the exit of De Jong, from Munir and the Moroccan Idrissi debut.

A foul that Joan Jordán's squad was looking for was the warning, reaching two goals in the final stretch when the Galicians were already celebrating the point. Escudero caught a left foot from outside the area that Tapia diverted to make it impossible for Rubén Blanco, while two minutes later Munir culminated a counterattack for the final 4-2.

Sevilla takes a weight off their shoulders and Celta de Coudet left good feelings for the future despite leaving empty.
