Pedrosa disappoints Valencia | Soccer | Sports

Football has these things. Mamardashvili had been Valencia’s best player. His team won in the 94th minute after a goal from Rioja. Sevilla had a bad time, with their fans very angry. Pedrosa arrived and launched a desperate shot from outside the area, which the great Valencia goalkeeper swallowed. It was the epilogue to a match that ended in a draw and where two greats like Sevilla and Valencia showed their shortcomings. The Sevillians, in the midst of a terrible atmosphere against them, are at least in the quiet zone of the classification, with the drop to seven points. Valencia’s situation is dramatic, bottom three points from safety after Valladolid’s victory against Betis. A scenario in which Carlos Corberán, who was on the verge of achieving his first victory in the League, will have to move with great skill. He had it in his hand, but the skinny dog ​​turns everything into fleas.

It happened just in the 45th minute. Badé had given up a corner kick in an absurd way as the prologue to a discreet first half against Valencia. Then, the Nervión stands exploded. He shouted for the resignation of the board of directors of his club, chaired by José María del Nido Carrasco, triumphant in the shareholders’ meetings before his father, but losing before his people. Curiously, throughout the first half shouts of “Peter, go now” appeared in the visiting stands. The hundreds of Valencia fans who traveled to Seville ranted against Lim, the owner of their club, but not about his feelings. “Buildings burn, people die. True love is forever,” the Sevilla fans had declared on a huge banner.

And two ghosts appeared on the grass. Two large teams plunged into a deep crisis due to the malpractice of their leaders. Carlos Corberán tries to make sense of a team without a goal, with some vitality, but with little quality. Valencia arrived at Nervión as bottom and tried to scare with Rioja on the left to overwhelm Kike Salas. They were blank weapons against a Sevilla with many midfielders and little play.

In the Andalusian team, only the figure of Isaac rose. A striker with the ability to combine and finish. His shot in the 24th minute was dispatched by Mamardashvili with a save. The goalkeeper is the best thing Valencia has, well planted on the field, worthy, but very limited. Lukébakio, who had a fight with Gayà, gave a great pass to Saúl in the 45th minute. The Madrid native shot into the side of the net.

It was evident that a mistake could tip the result in favor of one or the other. Mamardashvili, superb, made another save for Lukébakio in a long shot. It was the 56th minute and Saúl still scored a very dangerous ball in the 57th minute after a corner. And the error came. Valencia scored a goal almost out of nowhere. A good long ball, yes, from the protagonist Mamardashvili was combed by Hugo Duro to leave Rioja alone. The collapse of the Sevilla defense was monumental. Rioja, Betic at heart, dealt a good blow to Sevilla.

The atmosphere became favorable for Valencia, with the stands angry and the Sevilla players in complete confusion. From the paralysis emerged Vargas, Sevilla’s brand new winter signing, who debuted with very good manners. The Swiss striker took a wonderful shot from the edge of the area that hit the post. It was the 89th minute. The game was slipping away from Sevilla while Valencia defended with a certain order, until Pedrosa knocked them down. “We worked the game until the end and the victory was lost in an action in stoppage time,” said Carlos Corberán. “We have to continue growing in maturity, nothing else is useful to us,” he said after his team lost points in injury time, as happened against Madrid.
