He Sevillewith faith, intensity, nails and order brought Jose Luis Mendilibar, he seems certain to avoid relegation with an important victory against Celtic In the Basque coach’s second game on the bench, he gave up two points in the final period when he did the most difficult thing and led the game with a two-goal advantage despite having one less player on the field. two purposes of Miguel Rodríguez and Goncalo Patience when the public of Nervión was happily marching for what seemed to be a victory, they allowed those from Carlos Carvalhal add a week without knowing defeat.

And it could be worse for Sevilla, because the expulsion after 18 minutes of Pape Gueyeit happened after 2-2 of Marcos Acuna to insult Pizarro Gomezleft his team for a while with nine players.

[+] Watch the match summary:

Sevilla, earlier, did very well to sack Gueye early, the second since he arrived in the winter market. The Franco-Senegalese saw two yellow cards in two clearly avoidable actions, a slap on Renato Tapia while arguing for the ball, and after eighteen minutes, a kick on Iago Aspas when trying to steal the ball.

It was a huge disappointment that I did not expect deliverwho endured and did not change his team with changes and placed breast in the middle of the field with the Brazilian Fernando, who returned to the team after a four-game suspension. And the decision in the end is key for Sevilleas a corner kick taken by the man from Cádiz would be the goal that opened the scoring, when connecting En-Nesyri a very good header at the near post past Iván Villar. The Moroccan showed again his great form since he arrived from Qatar World Cupbecause he signed twelve goals in 2023.

At that stage, Sevilla hardly gave an option to a Celta in superiority. The Galicians only came close, before the En-Nesyri goal, with a cross by Hugo Mallo that was missed by Iago Aspas, who flirted with Badé, who took the ball almost on the goal line after trying to clear it from six yards out box. Only a few minutes left for the break, before that Renato Tapia He has a shot option that goes wide.

In the second half, Carlos Carvalhal He moved the bench and went straight to the exit to the field Goncalo Patience, the youth squad Miguel and Óscar Rodríguez, a player on loan from Sevilla. The Portuguese warned with a shot on the post after a good game Iago Aspas. However, at that time, Sevilla still had the strength to reach Villar’s place, although Celta had more of the ball.

En-Nesyri, in another header, He could have put more ground in the center, but it was Acuña who, after a race-filled steal, launched a left-footed shot that hit the Galician’s goal. There are 9 minutes left and Nervión is exploding, well, what the team did with ten players has merit.

But when 2-0 seemed final, the forces began to wane, Miguel scored on the 90’s side to make it 2-1 It seems that it will be a simple anecdote and at the discount a header from Patience made it impossible for Dmitrovic. Two dots flew from Sanchez-Pizjuan and maybe three more in an auction by Miguel.

He Seville He went from thinking he would surely escape relegation to continuing to fight. The first stumble came deliver when victory seemed to be in the pot.
