JAKARTA - Sevilla failed to win during the 22nd week of the 2021/2022 Spanish La Liga match against Celta Vigo. Sevilla's failure made Real Madrid, who was the leader of the standings, smile happily.

Sevilla host Celta Vigo at home, the Roman Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium on Sunday, January 23 in the morning WIB. Determined to close the gap with Madrid, the hosts appeared aggressive from the start.

However, Sevilla actually conceded first by the visitors who successfully opened the score 1-0. Celta Vigo's opening goal was made by Franco Cervi when the game was running 37 minutes.

Successfully opening the goal, the Celta Vigo player started to get hotter. Evidently, they were able to double their advantage just three minutes later after the first goal. The goal was contributed by Lago Aspas and lasted until halftime.

Left behind by two goals in the first half, Sevilla had to rack their brains in order to turn things around. What's more, victory in this match is very important to move to the top of the standings, shifting Los Blancos.

After trying for a long time, Sevilla's deadlock finally bore fruit when the match lasted 71 minutes. Execution of Alejandro Gomez who entered as a substitute was able to reduce the lag to 2-1.

It didn't take long, three minutes later Sevilla scored again which made the score 2-2. Also contributed by substitute, Oliver Torres.

Even though they managed to equalize, Sevilla's hopes to close the game with a win were dashed. Because this draw lasted until the referee blew the long whistle.

With a draw, Sevilla can only pick one point so they now have a total of 46 points. That's a sign that Julen Lopetegui's team has failed to narrow the gap from the leader of the standings, Real Madrid, which has so far collected 46 points but has one game in hand.
