Sevilla Collapsed, Sergio Ramos' Bad Luck Of Red Card
JAKARTA - Sevilla lost in the away match. In the Spanish La Liga duel at the Reale Arena, Sunday, November 27 evening WIB, Sevilla had to admit Real Sociedad's 2-1 lead. In that match, veteran defender Sergio Ramos was sent off and sent off by the referee.
Unfortunately for Ramos. A legendary figure with Real Madrid and hopes to lift his former club, Sevilla, when he is about to retire. Instead of bringing the team to victory, he actually received a red card in the match against Sociedad.
Not only that, Sevilla also had to recognize the home side's superiority. The defeat left Sevilla stuck at the bottom of the table.
Yes, Sevilla is ranked 15th with 12 points. This is what makes Los Nervionenses worthy of concern. The reason is, Sevilla is only four points ahead of the team in the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Sociedad is increasingly comfortable at the top. They rose to fifth place after having 25 points. Even though the points are quite far away, Sociedad is starting to overshadow Barcelona and Atletico Madrid who have 31 points.
In that match, Sociedad showed their best performance which made it difficult for Sevilla to develop their game. In fact, the hosts were ahead when the game had only been running for three minutes thanks to goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic's own goal.
This quick goal made Sociedad even more aggressive in pressing their opponents. Meanwhile, Ramos has to work hard to strengthen the team's defense.
But Ramos' hard efforts were in vain. Sociedad didn't take long to increase their lead. This time, it was striker Umar Sadiq who found the back of the opponent's goal in the 22nd minute.
The 2-0 score for Sociedad lasted until the end of the first half. The reason is that Sevilla, who relied on Moroccan national team striker Youssef En-Nesyri and veteran Ivan Rakitic as attacking midfielder/playmaker, were unable to break into the hosts' goal.
In the second half, Sevilla's game began to improve. En-Nesyri immediately broke the deadlock in the 60th minute. He successfully completed an assist from Adria Pedrosa.
The score changed 2-1 to Sociedad. In that position, both teams tried to attack each other. However, their efforts did not bear fruit.
Sevilla actually lost two players in the 88th minute. Ramos, who committed a hard foul on Brais Mendez, was given a red card.
