At the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, Sevilla FC confirmed its recovery by winning against Espanyol in a tense and long-undecided match, during the 35th day of La Liga. The Andalusians were however put in difficulty in the first period, dominated in sequences and unable to really impose their rhythm in a choppy match, marked by numerous inaccuracies and some decisive interventions from the goalkeepers. Espanyol even opened the scoring through Dolan, taking advantage of a moment of defensive hesitation, while Sevilla missed several opportunities despite a more aggressive start.
Returning from the locker room, Luis García’s men gradually raised their voice and ended up reversing the situation in a completely crazy end to the match. Castrín first equalized with a remarkable individual feat, before Akor Adams gave the Sevillians the advantage in added time, with a precise strike after a well-constructed action. In an electric atmosphere, Sevilla resisted until the end to snatch a capital victory (2-1), extending its positive series at home and moving a little closer to maintaining a match now within reach.
