The group of sampaoli, in the debut of the Argentine in the Champions League he gave a hopeful image for the future. He stepped forward with a little Nianzou on a foul kicked by Rakiticbut ran into some Bellingham in a defensive mismatch and can win a chance lick who could not turn back against a very strong rival defeated Nervión 1-4, causing the dismissal of Julen Lopetegui.

The Seville must win in Copenhagen next week and wait for the Germans’ decision against City to play the final card against Guardiola on English soil. If he does not get into the desired second place, he will look for the third place to play in his favorite tournament, the Europa League.

The Argentine coach made some changes to his eleven with respect to his Liga debut against Athletic. For example, Bono is back in goal and attacking the Dane Dolberg was sacrificed for En-Nesyri looking for faster. Argentine Acuña also appeared in the start after overcoming his injury and Jesús Navas replaced his compatriot Montiel on the right. Rakitic He is another of the old guard who has a share of fame in finding providing extra packaging in the midfield. Behind, the Brazilian Marcao, an unprecedented player, due to injury, with Lopetegui.

The Seville he came out swiftly and boldly from the Rhenish hell. Rakitic twice warned before quarter of an hour against a somewhat self-conscious Dortmund. In the third coming, the team from sampaoliwho scored his first goal away from home in Europe for many, many months. Rakitic He launched a free kick in the middle of the area and Nianzou hit a header almost from the front that surprised Kobel, who returned to the goal of the German team after being low six days ago in Seville. The goal meant the injection of morale he asked for sampaoli for his troops. They were the best minutes for the Whites, although it didn’t take long for them to start dropping meters, largely due to the insecurity Bono sent when the ball came out and the pressure exerted by the team’s first line. Edin Terzic. The visiting defense had some fears, even without a clear strategy, before the tie, the work of Bellingham in a defensive mismatch that opened a hole on the left side of the Seville defense where he penetrated. Meunier.

With that 1-1, the break was reached and from then on Sevilla wanted to be practical. He held the lines together to avoid the transitions that this team suffered from and made Dortmund uncomfortable. Although the Andalusian team was able to take the cat to the water in the few opportunities they had, in particular it was a corner where Lamela was unable to finish in front of Kobel when Nianzou was able to connect to the head-

sampaoli He ordered his players not to lose their place and hardly suffered from the push of the Germans. The Argentine took on En-Nesyri in search of more control and the point went well. Positive image and ray of hope for the future.
