After two consecutive losses, Espanyol Barcelona (6th) was keen to get their heads back upright against Sevilla (9th), at the RCDE Stadium, for the end of this 13th day of La Liga. Dominated during a large part of the match by Matias Almeyda’s team, the Catalans still opened the scoring in the second half with a header from Pere Milla (48th, 1-0). Roberto Fernández then allowed the locals to make the break (84th, 2-0), before Marcao gave hope to the Andalusians (86th, 2-1).
