Hard defeat of Sevilla FC against Leganés in Butarque. Pimienta’s team lost narrowly by a goal by Miguel de la Fuente in the 81st minutewho debuts as a scorer in the First Division. A hard blow for the white and red team, which was playing a serious game and only a lack of aim had prevented Sevilla from taking the lead on the scoreboard.
However, all the work went down the drain because of a mistake serious by Lucien Agoumé. The Frenchman returned to ownership, precisely, because of the punishment that Pimienta has imposed on mark after causing a penalty against Real Sociedad. This led to Gudelj starting this Saturday as a center back alongside Kike Salas and for Agoumé to occupy the position in the center of the field. The player’s participation was not bad, he recovered balls and helped in the offensive aspect, but in the second half, he had a childish action that condemned the team.
Agoumé was the last man and under pressure from Cissé He decided to give the ball to his goalkeeper. The touch fell too short and the first thing that occurred to him was to grab his rival and knock him down inside the area. The result of this action led to Sevilla’s ruling and the player’s expulsion.
After the game, García Pimienta himself admitted that the team could not allow that type of error: “I have seen the action repeated and I am convinced that the Leganés striker did not reach that ball, but you give a short pass, it does not come out what you want to do, you want to correct it and you grab it. You make a mistake once, you make a mistake again… They are young guys and this is very noticeable. Two very serious errors in two days that have cost us two penalties, including this one with a red card. I feel very bad for the fans who have been here with us cheering. I think they have seen the effort of the players and a fairly complete game in general terms. But when you make these mistakes, the First Division does not forgive you. Leganés was already suffering in the last minutes and waiting for an opportunity to arrive. “We gave it to them and that annoys me.”
