Luuk De Jong scored the goal for Julen Lopetegui's men (Sevilla) in the eighth minute, however not
two minutes later it was Coutinho (Barcelona)
who put the last 1-1 on the
scoreboard.
Day 5 of La Liga shut at the Camp Nou with the most alluring
match of the weekend. Two of the solid possibility for the title, face to face.
Those of Julen Lopetegui of Sevilla have
been demonstrating their credentials to battle for the domestic championship
while positioned in front of the Barcelona
knew that Real Madrid had been placed as an interim leader. But the cules could
not occur of the tie to one.
With Araujo in the beginning eleven due to the absence of
Lenglet as Pique's partner in the center of the back subsequent to being sent
off in the last game, the principle fascination was again Ansu Fati. While the
bleakness was not put by neither one nor the other, however, a Rakitic who got
back to the Camp Nou subsequent to leaving it just a few months ago to return to
Sevilla.
It was likewise a day of welcome with the premiere of
Dest by the Barca side and of
confirmations and that is because Kunde has ceased to be a guarantee or a
revelation. The middle back is a genuine earthquake on the pitch and was
omnipresent in all parts of the pitch to avoid the cule victory.
Ten crazy minutes shut the scoring when the game started.
It was Luuk De Jong who put Julen Lopetegui's Sevilla ahead in the eighth minute,
yet not two minutes after the fact Coutinho had already placed 1-1 in the
bright spot who continues to show that he can be significant this season and
that, also, has the confidence of Koeman.
Failed
exam
It was Ronald Koeman's incredible test match for Barcelona and the requesting test could
not have been worse for the Dutch mentor's interests and aspirations. Instead
of stepping forward after those first league matches in which they had left a
good taste in their mouths, the Catalans got back to doubts and to give free
rein to the thought that the bump of the last months is not a thing of the past
.
Sevilla came out to eat the rival from the initial whistle.
Those of Lopetegui put one more walk and squeezed a Barcelona that was not firm in those first bars. Two corners in
favor of the Sevilla team, a good
arrival from Rakitic and questions about the exit of the ball from Barca made
the Andalusian team smells fresh blood.
It was on the subsequent corner kick that the first goal
of the match arrived. Luuk De Jong caught a rebound in the area and without reconsidering
twice beat Neto in minute 8. The Sevilla
forward finally managed to score the first goal for Barca so far in the league, but without time to celebrate, Coutinho
put the tables on the scoreboard.
Barcelona at
that point had the face of luck. He ran the tenth minute and put the 1-1 in the
light after a diagonal from Messi on Jordi Alba in which Navas failed, a mistake
that led Coutinho to beat the rival mesh. Thus began a new match, with an
exchange of blows.
Possession for Sevilla,
dominance for Barcelona. The Andalusian team came to the domain of Neto, as Barca figured out how to make a
new greater number of events in the Sevilla
area. Koeman's men pressed to make it 2-1 and even Griezmann had a good double
chance, but the score continued as before at halftime, although Messi himself
also tried his luck with one of his traditional threads.
No
clear favorite
Subsequent to going through the changing rooms, the game proceeded
with a similar dynamic. Sevilla began
the second half better. This is thanks in part to the success of Julen
Lopetegui with the changes, bringing in players like En-Nesyri and Munir. However,
Ronald Koeman reacted to the turnaround on the board by betting on Pedri and
Trincao.
Sevilla offered
the next scare with an En-Nesyri shot that found its best ally an Araujo who
played barely enough to mislead Neto. But once again Barca was fortunate and the ball crashed against the crossbar. From
the hour of the party, the equalization declined of the cule side. Pjanic and Dest
made an appearance, the last entering by an injured Jordi Alba, but they could
do nothing to give a new victory to Barcelona,
which sees Real Madrid become the new leader.
