Sevilla is encouraged like Cádiz and Betis gets up in Getafe from a penalty

Sampaoli's men beat Elche with 10 and Sergio's men beat Mallorca in the escape from below

The Betic team came out of the pothole to continue hooked on Europe

MADRID, 28 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Sevilla linked two victories in the League for the first time this season by beating (3-0) an Elche that is still sunk in the bottom position at the end of the first round, while Cádiz was also encouraged with a 2-0 against Mallorca and Real Betis came out of their rut against Getafe, thanks to a penalty that Borja Iglesias converted in the 86th minute (0-1).

The team led by Jorge Sampaoli prevailed with solvency against a touched Elche and with ten to add their sixth victory in nine games after the break and reaffirm their resurgence after the bad start to the season. Although the Sevillian team managed to take the lead with En-Nesyri's header after half an hour, it was Bigas's red card on 41' that settled the game.

The Mallorcan defender got into a mess behind and had to stop Suso when he was running towards goal. Despite the fact that Soto Grado did not consider it in the first instance, it was the VAR that called him to review the play. Difficult week for the referee after the controversy that occurred last Thursday between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, with the complaint this time from an Elche that, from there, collapsed.

The locals knew how to make the most of their chances to leave with a higher income at half-time, despite Navas' muscle injury. Acuña, who had already assisted in the first goal, scored the second with a powerful left-footed shot through the middle of the goal and almost at the end, En-Nesyri again, finished off with pleasure inside the area a little bite from Suso over the defense .

Sevilla put the brakes on in a second half process. Sampaoli's men were around the fourth on several occasions, while Pablo Machín's men held on as best they could with one less and very low confidence. The green-and-green team will continue for another day, occupying the last position in the League, where they have yet to win.

For their part, Cádiz once again gave their fans joy with an important victory at home, where they had not won since last October. The goals from Bongonda and Álex Fernández from a penalty were enough to defeat a Mallorca that looked inferior throughout the game.

A victory that was worth double for the Cadistas, who saw their team come out of relegation and also had one of the best games of the entire season. With a frantic start to the match, the suffocating pressure from the locals ended up finding the prize of the goal after a great triangulation by the local forward.

Brian Ocampo filtered a good ball to Negredo who brought it close to the penalty spot for the arrival of a Bongonda who did not think twice to put the first. Before, the vermillions had requested the expulsion of Momo for an ugly tackle on Grenier that the referee failed to point out, causing anger on the visiting bench. Thus, the non-expulsion and the local goal caught a Mallorca off guard who, unable to react, saw how the second came shortly after in the form of a penalty.

De Burgos Bengoetxea signaled the maximum penalty, prior to the entry of the VAR, after Valjent touched the ball with his hand inside the area. Álex, from eleven meters, did not miss, deceiving Rajkovic with his shot. In the second half, Cádiz once again imposed its law to finish subduing an unrecognizable Mallorca that was not even capable of generating danger. The heat of the Nuevo Mirandilla was key to finish closing a victory that leaves them with only one defeat in five games.

In addition, on Saturday it was closed at the Coliseum by two teams with the need to add three. Betis, without the punch of yesteryear, had control but failed to create excessive danger, while Getafe, without a good connection with their forwards and forced to keep an eye on the rear, had hardly any options.

A penalty that Canales forced, the hand of Duarte, was transformed by Borja Iglesias, who had not scored for three months, into three points to continue hooked on the European zone. After the elimination in the Super Cup, in the Copa del Rey and the defeat last week against Espanyol, Manuel Pellegrini's men drew oil at the home of a Getafe who intoned his discontent with Quique Sánchez Flores.

The 'azulón' team did their best to cancel out a Betis that had the chance in the first half, with Borja Iglesias. With Getafe withdrawn, he did not find much offensive play either but extended the more discreet version of his rival. The Andalusians came close to the end with Guido and Sabaly, before the penalty that 'Panda' made good.
