Bono, who went up to finish off
the last corner of the game
, gave his team a point against Valladolid (1-1), which was an important setback for the Blanquivioleta team, which again lost a victory in the final bars.
The Andalusian team came out to press and control the ball.
He made clear from the beginning his ambition and his hunger to continue growing.
And already in minute 5
Papu Gómez
tried to surprise Roberto with a strong shot that the local goal cleared, forcing the defense to prolong the action to prevent a new shot.
Valladolid showed temperance, looking for speed after recoveries and covering the spaces that Sevilla created with the arrival on the wings.
Each time the control of the Nervionenses was becoming more intense, but they could not finish and create real danger in the white and violet area.
Those of
Sergio González
barely had the ball and when he was in his possession, Sevilla pressed, so any creative and combinative capacity of local annulling.
They were not capable of breaking the scheme proposed by Julen Lopetegui, although they did not stop trying.
In fact, the Valladolid people did not lose faith in their game, they increased the intensity, the pressure and that allowed them to enjoy several minutes of control, although they found no reward, since the Andalusian defense remained attentive to the local incursions and did not concede options.
The impudence of Real Valladolid led to a play that, after being reviewed by the VAR, ended in a penalty after the demolition of Weissman by Diego Carlos, inside the Sevilla area, when trying to prevent the Israeli striker from finishing with his head.
Orellana was in charge, once again, of transforming the maximum penalty
and raising the first goal to the scoreboard.
Lopetegui changes
With that advantage, Real Valladolid gained more confidence and maintained the intensity and pressure in search of another goal.
As for Sevilla, Julen Lopetegui gave entry to
Ocampos and Acuña
as revulsive, but his team could not feel comfortable on the pitch.
This led to two other changes in the Sevilla ranks, De Jong and Rakitic for Rekik and Gudelj, to promote more creativity and finishing in attack.
Precisely, Rakitic was the first to seek the equalizer with a shot that stopped, without difficulty, the local goal.
Real Valladolid was a compact block and kept its defensive concentration.
Sergio, to favor that union between the lines, brought freshness in the center of the field with
Míchel and Fede San Emeterio
, aware that Sevilla was going to push harder, as it happened.
The Andalusians were safer and more reached the white and violet area, with Ocampos as a reference.
On the right wing, he began to create danger and, in one of his centers, he found De Jong, whose launch repelled a stick, preventing the visitor's goal.
The game was still open.
The fear of losing what they had achieved was logical among the local players, who had to retreat before the push of Sevilla and give themselves to the maximum in the defensive plane.
Lateral centers could be a problem and this had already hurt Valladolid too many times.
But it was Bono, the Sevillian goal, who once again left the Blanquivioleta team frozen with a powerful shot after a chaotic corner in which the Valladolid did not act forcefully, leaving the ball dead, and the visiting goalkeeper tied the clash.
