It is not normal that Mamardasvhili commit a error like the one who gave a point to Sevilla in the 93rd minute of the game. After an afternoon with two stops converted a long shot into a goal Pedrosa which he acknowledged at the end of the game: “I think it has helped me a little.” For Valencia, bottom after the victory of Valladolidthe tie is a blow of those that leave consequences. Because without shining, had competed well and had managed to get ahead on the scoreboard with Rioja’s goal in the second half.
Sevilla y Valencia They could have discussed before starting the game which of the two was more troubled with their current situation. The locals, between the victory of Copa before him Almeria and the shareholding disputes, the atmosphere was somewhat revolutionized from the stands to the box. But the visitors started the game in last position after the victory of Valladolid in front of Betis.
So you had to deal with your opponent and their circumstances. And the first part was the typical exercise in minimizing risks. There was more intention not to receive blows than to hit, if the boxing simile helps. And yet, the Sevilla He had two very good chances. Isaac Romerowhich was a torment for the Valencian defense while the fuel lasted, recalled that Mamardashvili He had returned to the starting lineup after overcoming an injury. A stretch by the Georgian goalkeeper prevented the Sevillian striker from opening the scoring.
He also returned to ownership José Luis Gayáafter injury. But he had a very eventful game. He flew through the air in a split ball with Agoumé and then he received a stomp Carmona which forced him to undergo treatment to heal a wound on his instep. He couldn’t stand the pain and was substituted in the second half.
The stands said goodbye to the team and the box with a fight that was reminiscent of those of Mestalla. And that Saul He had a great opportunity; but, heeled, he was unable to direct the ball to the goal.
-The attacker from Elche also came close to scoring in the second half after heading a corner kick that went close to the visitors’ far post. Before, again Mamardashvili was exhibited before another great distant shot from Lukebakio.
Al Valencia It was difficult for him to put into practice the style he asks for Corberan: that of proposing a little more play. So he opted for a classic solution. Long throw from the goalkeeper who scored with power Hugo Duro in the center of the field. The ball fell to Riojawho ran towards the goal and, with a bit of permissiveness from Guldeljshot on goal.
Garcia Pimienta he brought in the newly signed Ruben Vargaswho shook the Valencian goal when he hit the post with a shot. Again Mamardashvili He put out his arm to prevent a cross Saul gave him more problems.
But what no one expected was the mistake that the Georgian goalkeeper made at the end. A distant shot of Pedrosaso tight that perhaps it did not reach the goal, tapped it to divert the trajectory and turn it into a goal.
