Sevilla improves slowly and Elche leaves Mestalla frustrated

Gudelj and Bono give a vital victory to Sampaoli's men in Mallorca

Tie (2-2) between Valencia and Elche with the referee as the protagonist

Girona saved a draw against Cádiz from a penalty in the 101'

MADRID, 15 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Sevilla signed their first victory with Jorge Sampaoli in a long-suffering 0-1 win over Mallorca on matchday ten of LaLiga Santander this Saturday, while Elche had the victory (2-2) against Valencia but was harmed by an error by the referee and Girona drew a draw from their reaction (1-1) against Cádiz.

The third time was the charm for Sampaoli, after two draws, to achieve three points that take his team out of relegation. The Andalusian team improves but without going crazy, supported by Bono's saves and victorious, most importantly, with a shot by Nemanja Gudelj from 30 meters in the 53rd minute.

Sevilla spent the first 20 minutes at the mercy of their rival, with Bono as the hero, stopping two goals from Abdón Prats. Sampaoli's team calmed the local spirits with some possession at the feet of Isco, but went to the locker room without a shot on goal. The first was Gudelj's great goal, now without a Jesús Navas who seemed to be injured in a race in the first act.

Gudelj himself had the 0-2 in a corner kick and Javier Aguirre also moved the bench, but he did not decide until the final stretch to send his team up. Kang-In Lee was intermittent and it was Ruiz de Galarreta who gave Mallorca criteria. Bono saved a very clear one against Ángel and Sevilla breathes, with the same 9 points as the Balearic Islands.

In Mestalla, Elche could take the three points if the referee Pulido Santana does not take away the 2-3 in the final stretch for not applying the advantage law. Jorge Almirón's debut on the bench from Elche was bittersweet, although with a brace from Pere Milla the bottom team was able to get ahead and even deserve more than a Valencia that could lose the European rhythm.

Gennaro Gattuso warned in advance of the danger of a wounded Elche and his team took him at his word, but due to a poor start by Mamardashvili, the first time the visiting team was around the area, Elche went ahead from eleven meters. Pere Milla did not fail, but neither did Cavani in the other area, 10 minutes later, with another penalty that leveled the match.

The 'Matador' premiered before his audience and began to win the choirs with the 2-1 in a great header, an influence that was clear when he left the field. Valencia lost its lighthouse and lost ground, passing the lead to a Pere Milla who nailed the rival striker's header to make it 2-2. Elche won the match but the referee kept the headlines due to that foul that he rushed to whistle, while Marcau sent the ball into the net.

In addition, in the morning session, Girona saved a point against Cádiz with a penalty converted by Stuani in the 101st minute. The Andalusian team savored the three points, although the second half gave way until they saw themselves very confined, shortening balls and getting rid of the goal with a fortune that ended in the long discount.

Álex Fernández, on his 30th birthday, put the visitors ahead in the first action of the second half, with Girona asleep. Those of Míchel, who had dominated but without finishing for 45 minutes -the best was Sobrino for the yellows-, reacted with clear finishes, with Taty touching more than one goal.

The resistance of Sergio González's men in Montilivi had a few seconds left over, in a ball hanging desperately in the area that ended in Pacha Espino's penalty on Manu Vallejo. Stuani did not forgive to leave in eight points a Girona that has gone four days without winning and Cádiz penultimate with six.
