The Athletic gets stuck, Sevilla advances the Real and a Betis in Racha drown to Las Palmas

The Athletic Club stumbled again in LaLiga EA Sports and could not pass from the draw (1-1) against Mallorca in a San Mamés that continues with the dispute between fans, while Sevilla surpassed Anoeta and in the table to the Royal Society, and Real Betis put the UD Las Palmas in a descent zone pressing through Europe.

In Bilbao, premises and visitors again left points as they have been doing in recent days. Athletic seems to physically recover as in the first third of the season and, in addition, Ernesto Valverde looked sideways at Rome, where the fans of the cathedral will have to join after a month of division.

The Basques, a four -day victory, lacked spark and the Balearic Islands were not in a hurry to light the game. After a first half without history, the encounter was suddenly encouraged when Nico Williams advanced Athletic and, instantly, Antonio Raíllo made 1-1 for Mallorca. With half an hour ahead, there was a distribution of few occasions and an insufficient point.

Those of Valverde was missing the defeat of Villarreal to strengthen the fourth place, 49 points with a match more than the ‘submarine’ (44), while those of Jagoba Arrasate, paid to the draw, stay in 37 in their dream of reaching European zone. There is Betis, sixth with 41 and without ruling out that the fifth classified also goes to the Champions League.

Those of Manuel Pellegrini signed his fourth victory followed by returning to the UD Las Palmas to descent positions. The Diego Martínez effect has long stopped working and the yellow, seven losses and two draws in the last nine games, are in free fall towards second. The fall continued on his visit to Benito Villamarín with Diego Llorente’s goal in the 65th minute.

The rain and disappeared climate did not help a first half without action in the areas, enough for yellow confidence in a demanding field. However, the game was twisted to the Canaries with two yellow in less than ten minutes for Dario EsSUGO. With one less for half an hour, Las Palmas went to suffer.

Pellegrini added to Abde and Sergi Altimira to the danger of Antony and Isco, although it was the Llorente central who hunted the 1-0 ball. Once again, and again without fortune as lately, Martínez’s went up in the final stretch, but did not find the goal prize. McBurnie had them, even after Cillessen stopped a penalty to Isco in the discount and, suddenly, salvation is three points for Las Palmas.

Sevilla starts working

In the duel that closed this Sunday in Primera, Sevilla reaffirmed its good moment at Reale Arena, with the goal of Chidera Ejke in the first minute of the second half. Those of Xavi García Pimienta, who seems to finally enjoy his Sevilla project, avoided the reaction ‘Txuri Urdin’ with danger against and, then, possession to deserve the three points.

The first act in San Sebastián was matched, with a better start of a real need of points in the league but was balancing Sevilla. Isaac Romero had a very clear before the break, and after the goal of an ejke who undoubtedly missed his during his injury, the canterano crashed one against the post.

The repetition taught a vital stop of Unai Marrero, but the Real did not find the path of the tie, before an impatient hobby in the physical downt and play of her team. However, those of Imanol Alguacil, who sought the goal with the entrance of Take Kubo, are still alive in Cup and in the European League, although in the League they are eleventh with 34 points for the 36 of a Sevilla that trusts in all those European places that the international accounts give to Spain.
