Valladolid and Sevilla
failed to score in a freezing cold Nuevo Zorrilla stadium. Keepers Sergio
Asenjo and De Sanctis had some work to do before the break, the former saving
efforts from Luis Fabiano and Diego Capel early on and the latter keeping out a
header from Jonathan Sesma.
Just a few minutes after
half time the visitors were left with ten men after Fazio picked up a second
booking. Even so Luis Fabiano managed to hit the post with a free kick, but
with ten minutes to go he too was sent off after a clumsy challenge, and Manolo
Jiménez pulled his men back to protect the point.
Right at the end Ogbeche
could have won it after Llorente set him up, but Poulsen got to him in time to
make sure he missed the target. A brave point for Sevilla, but not they ended
the weekend in mid-table, the Champions League weighing heavily on their league
form. Valladolid drop to seventeenth, only out of the bottom three thanks to
having scored more goals than Betis to date. |
