Cádiz once again suffered a lesson in what it means to play in the First Division against a Sevilla that took the Andalusian derby (1-3) with a comeback. The truth is that the yellows have not been bad, their image and football have been good, but against a great one such as the Nervión team, you can't get lost for a minute. All the goals came in the second half. Salvi ahead of the locals, De Jong put the equalizer and when everything seemed to indicate that the match would end in a draw, Munir, in 90 'and Rakitic, in 94', put the final 1-3.
Lopetegui introduced up to five changes after the effort of the European Super Cup; while Cádiz, with more recovery time than its rival, repeated the team that beat Huesca last Sunday. The first part was entertaining. Each team showed their weapons and the occasions were exchanged. Sevilla put possession against Cádiz, who, as usual, found himself comfortable defending himself and pressuring the rival to go fast against. The local side first warned when only one minute had been played, with a distant shot from José Mari that made Bono shine.
Sevilla turned their entire attacking game down the right wing, where Navas and Suso hurt a Espino that demanded help to drain water. Precisely on that band came the first chance for the visitors, which ended in a goal annulled to Ocampos for a millimeter offside by Suso. It was the 8th minute. From this scare, Cádiz began to enjoy its best minutes and linked two occasions by Pombo and Salvi, which did not end in a goal due to Bono's success and due to bad luck, since in the Sanluqueño, Negredo licked the second suit. Cádiz took a step back again and Sevilla took advantage of it to regain control on occasions. The clearest, that of Rakitic in the 30 ', that in front of Cifuentes hit in semifallo and his ball went out.
The second half started in an unbeatable way for Cádiz and again in a house brand action. Counterattack from the book, Pombo centers, Negredo assists Salvi with his head and the sanluqueño rivets to open the scoring in 48'. The goal, far from scaring Sevilla, awakened him and once again dominated the game in search of the equalizer. Lopetegui introduced changes in search of more mordant in attack. De Jong, Jordan, and Munir entered. Ocampos tried with a good shot that Cifuentes cleared and minutes later came the equalizer with the leading role of Navas. Years do not pass on the side, it comes from an effort of 120 minutes and not even with those you stop him. In the 65th minute he found oil on his wing by introducing a measured cross to the head of De Jong, for the Dutchman to equalize the match.
From the goal the party calmed down. Sevilla dedicated themselves to touching the ball in order to minimize risks and find spaces based on long possessions. When everything seemed to indicate that the match would end in a draw, in the 90 ', in a long shipment from Jordan to Munir, he caught the defense confused and ended in a goal from the Moroccan, only against Cifuentes. Cádiz claimed a foul at the start of the play, but it was not signaled.
In the addition, Cádiz went on the attack in search of the equalizer, began to take defensive risks and ended up paying it with a goal traced to the second: pass in depth that catches the defense defunct, and Munir hits a kill pass to Rakitic to make it the final 1-3. Hard setback for a Cádiz that did not deserve so much punishment.
