Liga: Sevilla FC held at home by Espanyol

This Saturday, Sevilla FC hosted Espanyol for the 21st day of La Liga. An important meeting for the Andalusians who could move back to 7th place in the event of a victory. In the end, nothing went as planned for the Pimienta flock. Indeed, from the 15th minute of play, defender Marash Kumbulla opened the scoring in favor of the Catalans (0-1, 15th).

It was finally another defender who allowed the locals to equalize because Loïc Badé put the two teams back on level terms on the hour mark (1-1, 61st). Despite their numerous chances, the Andalusians were unable to make the difference and were unable to transform their very good performance into victory. With this draw, Sevilla is standing still and remains 11th. Espanyol is stuck in a worrying 18th place.
