The Seville continues like a shot and determined to reach the end in a position to scare the greats in the fight for the title of League. Every week he wins and cuts points from someone. On this occasion, in a match with a bizarre ending when From Burgos Bengoetxea whistled the end a minute earlier and had to bring the players back from the shower, he moved closer to the Real Madrid to be placed at a point of those of Zidane and also of Barcelona, although those of Koeman have a game less.
On the way, the Andalusians have already closed their goal six days in advance. The triumph over Granada, a good team in the category, mathematically classifies those of Lopetegui for the next edition of the Champions by leading by 20 points to the fifth, which makes it already unattainable for Real Sociedad.
For the Andalusian duel, the former coach opted to rest two pillars as his top scorer, En-Nesyri, and a fixed in the center of the field, Joan Jordán. With De Jong Y Rakitic As novelties in the field, Sevilla withstood the strong pressure that Granada made in the beginning to take the ball and turn over on the goal of Rui Silva.
And it did not take long for Lopetegui's team to impose its law, since in almost the first arrival on the left a pass behind Rakitic Finish in Gonalons penalty to Papu Gómez. The Croatian did not forgive and the box Diego Martinez, a coach who knows the house well, soon understood that he had to submit to the extraordinary physical and playing moment of the Sevilla players, who were already able to increase their advantage before the break with a header from De Jong or a couple of shares of Papu Gómez.
However, the Argentine marked the differences on the way back from passing through the changing rooms in a play traced to that of the penalty, although this time it was Ocampos the one who took advantage of the pass backwards, attacking the right wing of Granada, to beat Rui Silva and make it 2-0.
As a result of the second goal, the locals lowered the piston somewhat, although without losing control of the game, although a penalty at the end made possible the 2-1 of Soldier in a duel that ends with the fifth consecutive victory for a team that raises the total points of the last 24 possible to 21 and that is on the way to making history, with 70 points already and waiting for anything at the top of the table.
