Mallorca's home form once
again let them down, and after wins in the Bernabeu and the Nou Camp they were
beaten in their own San Moix stadium by a Sevilla side who are now level with
their opponents on points. The home side started well, dominating the wet,
slippery conditions better than the visitors, and Eto'o put them in front after
combining with Pandiani, who was returning to the side after a two week lay off
for injury.
But after that the visitors
found their feet, and Marcos Vales and Víctor Salas both tested Leo
Franco. Shortly before half time Antoñito met Gallardo's cross to level
the scores, and before the sides left the field Mallorca were down to ten men
after Lozano got himself sent off for a second bookable offence.
Missing the injured Ibagaza
the islanders found themselves in trouble, and Reyes put the Andalucians in
front with a quickly taken free kick. Notario tipped an effort from
Cortés over the bar and Eto'o went close with a header following a
corner as the home side did their best, but Reyes found Antoñito for him
to score his second of the night and the game was over. Both sides still have a
chance of the last UEFA spot, although they now find themselves four points off
Athletic Bilbao. |
