Marko Dmitrovic<\/a>, who has prevented Isaac Romero’s goal with a reflex save. Serbi\u00e1n holy cards should be distributed in Cornell\u00e0-El Prat.<\/p>\n Espanyol has a problem with scoring<\/p>\n
Sevilla has also been relying on the performances of their goalkeeper for months, a Vlachodimos who denied Edu Exp\u00f3sito the 0-1. It would have barely been the second goal for the ‘periquitos’ since the beginning of April, one of the main reasons for their crisis in results. The play was preceded by a very dangerous recovery by the midfielder from Cubelles, who shot directly into the hands of the Greek. It was the first approach from an Espanyol that, little by little, has gotten a grip on a match full of tension, tackles, and long balls; a final for survival no matter how you look at it, which could have been decided at the start of the second half.<\/p>\n
The first ball that Alexis S\u00e1nchez, who replaced Romero at halftime, touched was a goal. But VAR disallowed it for a millimeter offside. Espanyol was lucky that the video arbitration had been fixed before the start. And minutes later, the miracle happened: Espanyol scored again. Roberto’s faith, who crossed a ball that was going out of bounds, served as an assist for Dolan, who took advantage of a mistake by the Sevilla defense to shoot down Vlachodimos. The Englishman did several somersaults and the entire bench jumped onto the field to celebrate. Manolo, aware that there was more than half an hour left in the match, didn’t even move.<\/p>\n
The instruction from then on was clear: cool down the game and maintain the result no matter what, but this Espanyol is made of glass. And with ten minutes left, they conceded the equalizer due to a collective error that allowed center-back Castr\u00edn to enter the box and beat a not-so-sharp Marko Dmitrovic. Already in stoppage time, Adams definitively sank the ‘blanquiazules’ with a shot from the edge of the box after another mistake by the ‘blanquiazul’ defense. <\/p>\n
