It’s gone from bad to worse for Sevilla, who have completely collapsed tonight against Deportivo La Coruña. Lassad Nouioui’s 15th minute stunner was a bad enough happening for a side who started a surpisingly defensive lineup, but it’s all gone pear shaped for them in the second half with a red card and another goal.
Deportivo La Coruña Vs. Sevilla: Andres Palop Sent Off, Lassad Nouioui Bags Brace
Sevilla goalkeeper Andres Palop picked up an incredibly silly straight red card in the 57th minute for handling the ball outside of the box, and that was just the start of Sevilla’s problems. It’s bad enough for your goalkeeper to get sent off for a terrible lapse of judgment, but Palop’s red has other consequences. The keeper will now miss Sevilla’s semifinal match in Copa Del Rey.
Just four minutes after the sending off, Depor doubled their lead as Lassad bagged a brace. Ten man Sevilla found their defense incredibly disorganized in the 61st minute, as Adrian rolled a low cross across the face of goal from the right side of the pitch, going through everyone and leaving Lassad with a simple tap in at the far post.
