He Isaac’s goal gave Quique Sánchez Flores joy, which achieved Sevilla’s second consecutive victory this season for the first time, something the Andalusian team has not done since last May Mendilibar, when they defeated Valladolid (0-2) and Juventus (2-0) in the semifinals of the Europa League.
But it also represents the second victory for the Madrid coach, also a former coach of Atlético, against Diego Simeone in a total of 8 duels in the league. Quique won only once before in his battles with the Argentine.
Four losses and two draws complete the statistics in league matches since December 2016, the date of the first clash between the two coaches. The previous success came for the current Sevilla coach a year later, in the 2017-18 campaign, a 1-0 with Sergio García’s goal in the 88th minute at Cornellà to give the Parakeets victory over an Atlético team that came into the event unbeaten.
Simeone beat Quique Flores in four league gamesa 0-1 in the previous campaign (2016-17) with so many Griezmann and, now with the Sevilla coach at Getafe, a 4-3 at the Metropolitano (2021-22) that decided Vrsaljko in the last minute and a resounding 0-3 at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum on the first day of the last season with double from Morata and another from Griezmann. The last, the 1-0 on December 23 with a goal from Llorente, a match on the fourth day but postponed at that time due to the weather alert that caused a DANA in the community of Madrid, lower than one table before another defeat, this time in the Cup, at Metropolitano by 2-1.
The draws came in the last clash between the two last season at the Metropolitano (1-1), an Atlético-Getafe where Correa surpassed Atlético and Enes Ünal A penalty in the 83rd minute started the draw for the blues. The other tie was the first game where the two coaches faced each other, 0-0 in the 2016-17 campaign on Colchonero soil.
