  Narration and statistics
  

Sevilla went to the knockout stages of the Europa League, and that is the only thing that stands out after a stormy tie against a Cluj fighter, who was almost surprised at Snchez-Pizjun. The 0-0 made good the goal of En-Nesyri in Romanian and the Andalusian team was in the hype on Friday.

Lopetegui had a good time against Getafe and wanted to continue the party against Cluj. I arrived at despues de with the same players, with the exception of goalkeeper Vaclik, ruled out at the last minute due to knee problems. Bonus took his place, and shone when the rival siege shakes the European hope of his own. Fernando, Jordn and Gudelj returned to occupy the center of the field. More heart than pause. More content than magic. The Brazilian, freed, invading rival area, the Spanish, without ties, relieving the ball to the bands, and the Serbian hinge between medullary and defense.

It was not a flat and the night soon fell. Rhythm machacn, strobe lights and attack of garrafn. Ocampos disappeared, De Jong trying to decipher the cryptic centers of his companions and Suso fighting alone on one side. The Cadiz was the only one who tried to dance beyond the tile and the dididadar, but his choreography had no prize.

Messy and random

In the 25th minute, De Jong got rid of a rival defender's chaos and yielded to Ocampos, who shot from the area without much conviction. The ball bounced on Fernando and left the field grazing the right stick of Arlauskis. The nervous attacks were ace, messy and random. Many people doing many things, without melody or order, with a well-wrapped Romanian ensemble, seeing them coming, without risks or cracks. Kound was encouraged after good control in the area, but the Lithuanian goalkeeper stopped his shot. The minutes passed and the goal of the host did not come. Petrescu saw the window open, and entered.

The last minutes of the first half were a siege against the Andalusian goalkeeper. Par two bonus. The first one, of palmeo, after good distant shot of Djokovic. The second responded to a left-footed shot from Paun, satin and glued to the left stick. The Moroccan archer deflected. A corner kick that almost ends in drama. The imperial header of Boli, without a mark, came out inches from the catastrophe.

The break did not change the scenario. The Cluj groaned against a musty, wobbly Seville. Entr Banega to illuminate the midfield, and Sevilla generated some more danger. All opaque attacks, with launches that are diluted between a sea of ​​legs. Lopetegui's team attacks how children attack at recess. To the noise. Whatever comes out.

The wild of enthusiasm

The melancholy centers of Navas, the ashen links of Ocampos, some distant shot of Reguiln. Nothing that a disciplined team cannot contain. Suso, injured, left his post to Nolito and Navas allowed En-Nesyri to enter. Fifteen minutes to play. Deac and Traor more and more insolent above, Djokovic and Bordeianu showing their teeth in the central circle and the mottled football of Seville, which had only the comfort of enthusiasm.

Defend a zero to zero at home, in that were those of Lopetegui when the match pales. Doubts again hanging around the Gipuzkoan technician, like sharks that anchor the coast. And the bite came. Traor took the ball, Paun shot hard and Bono failed with a crash. Goal. Elimination Tragedy.

Only the VAR, who warns that the Costa Rican striker helped himself with his hand to recover the ball, dissipated the phantom that was looming over the Pizjun. The pass to eighth serve to make up a tie-winged tie, with a Sevilla that could not dominate a worthy rival, who after the good game in Getafe, returns to the path of bitterness and warmth.
