Sevilla did not lose in LaLiga since October 5 and Villarreal did not know the victory since the 25th of that month. If football were science, the Hispanic team would have added another three points yesterday in Pizjuán. But since football is irrational emotion, a game that despises the laws of logic, it was Villarreal who took the win, starring in a resurrection that he urgently needed to take off from the lower zone of the classification. [1-2: Narration and statistics]

The result was the consequence of the difference in success between the two. Sevilla generated dozens of occasions , but only achieved the goal in one of them, through Munir. The Villarreal produced much less opportunities, but sealed two of them and with that and a Numantine resistance back it was enough to win. He still did it without Cazorla in front of an opponent who is very much missing the imbalance and verticality of Ocampos, absent for sanction in the last three duels.

The board of Javi Calleja immediately turned around the planned script of the meeting. At 13 minutes, Mario combed a corner in the first suit and in the second Albiol appeared to push it towards the goal, without Vaclik, sold for his defense, could do anything. If by then it had become clear that the initiative in the match would be borne by Sevilla, that goal from Albiol caused the local dominance of the ball to be overwhelming.

Lopetegui's team did almost everything well, played with ease and speed, effectively aborted the backlash attempts and reached the Asenjo area with ease. Only the most important was missing: the definition. The solidity of the trio formed by Albiol, Pau Torres and Iborra and the solvency of Asenjo under sticks prevented Sevilla, with Banega at the controls, going around the game in the first half. Banega himself, Diego Carlos and Óliver flirted with the goal, but none found the prize that the Andalusian team deserved.

Sevilla continued to err after the break, looking for the depth on the right of Navas, who swelled to put centers that were rarely found auctioneer. Lopetegui finally understood that this was not the way, that Villarreal above was inaccessible and sent a clear message to his team introducing Chicharito by De Jong . Chance or not, two minutes later Munir achieved the tie after finishing off first and violently a center of Reguilón.

Sevilla did not stop there, which turned to complete the comeback before his raging public. It happened that Villarreal was going to fail once, but not twice. And that, in addition, he was going to take advantage of the only one he had to score his second goal. Moi Gómez observed the unchecking of Trigueros and the manchego, after dragging the goalkeeper towards him, yielded to Ekambi to seal the victory of the Calleja.
