However, it was former Barcelona player Sergio Akieme who opened the scoring before the break (1-0, 44th), followed immediately by Gerard Moreno’s equalizing goal (1-1, 45+5th). We had to wait until the fourth minute of added time of the second half to see Alexander Sorloth give the locals the advantage and the three points at the final whistle (2-1, 90+4th). A success which allows Quique Setien’s men to move closer to the first part of the table, while the Andalusians, with a small point, did not move from their 19th place in the championship standings.
