Very high tension duel that took place on Saturday night at the Sánchez-Pizjuán with two teams whose main objective is to leave the relegation places. The Sevilla players, who have a high-level squad, began the match managing possession of the ball and hanging balls over the area of ​​a very well-planted Cadista defense and doing a great job clearing away danger.

Sergio González's team had occasional chances with shots from distance by Brian Ocampo and Choco Lozano, but the ball missed the target. Lamela, very active throughout the first part, had several chances, but in all of them he found interventions by Conan Ledesma.

In stoppage time, he was in charge of scoring a goal that, after reviewing it by VAR, was annulled due to a clear offside. In the second half the two teams jumped with zero to zero on the scoreboard after the annulment of the Sevilla goal. As the minutes went by, the Sevillian team was pressing with occasions on Conan Ledesma's goal. After the hour of the game, the people of Seville would end up turning completely over the yellow goal to the point of having to get a ball under the sticks.

In the last minutes, the Cadistas resisted the local attacks with the hope of taking advantage of an error and going on the counter. In the final minutes, a penalty by the hands of Iván Alejo was going to settle the duel in favor of the Seville team. Rakitic defined against Ledesma to put the one to zero with which he would reach the end of the match, although Negredo was able to score the equalizer in injury time.
