Seville and Barcelona tied to one in his postponed match of the fourth day at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, where the Hispanics, who played with ten almost half an hour for an absurd action by Jules Koundé that cost him the expulsion, they spoiled their ‘extra ball’ to squeeze the leader; and the Catalans are still out of the ‘Champions’ zone.
After a game with few occasions, the goals came in the first half in strategic plays, scored by the Argentine Papu Gómez about half an hour and the Uruguayan Ronald Araujo in the 45th minute, after two separate corners. From there, Sevilla, with ten for the red to Koundé, sand defended well against a Barcelona that crashed a ball into a post through Dembélé, its most incisive man.
Two LaLiga classics were measured in a duel with special connotations, perhaps with the roles changed compared to the last decades, as Sevilla, second, it was played to be 3 points behind the leader, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, eighth and with many more urgencies, resurface to get into the ‘Champions’ zone after taking only 4 points from the last 9.

Even with numerical superiority, the culé team it also did not generate clear occasions goal, except one Gavi’s high header, the most clairvoyant of his own, some attempt by Dembélé, omnipresent but not very effective, or by Alba in ’97.
One last option alright aborted by Bono to seal an important draw for Sevilla and less valuable, no doubt, for a Barcelona that is still estranged from their natural positions on the table.
