Sevilla took a very important step in its struggle for survival, after emerging with two successive victories at home in Sanchez Pezjuan, keeping its fate in its hands in the final meters of the season.

According to what was reported by the Spanish newspaper Marca, the team raised its full score on its home field in the last two matches to 6 points out of 6, on a night that carried a clear message from the stands, as Gol Norte fans raised a banner reading: “No withdrawal, no surrender.” The team has not yet reached safety, but it now sees survival as closer than it was.

The victory this time came at the expense of Espanyol, although the visitors were the first to score through Dolan. But Sevilla responded strongly, snatching victory thanks to a fighting goal from Castrine, then Accor decided it with his decisive touch.

This victory seems to give Sevilla a huge morale boost, although what awaits them in the final rounds is not easy, as they will have to face Villarreal, then Real Madrid, then Celta in an increasingly difficult schedule.

On the other hand, Espanyol continues its worrying decline, having reached 18 matches without a win, wasting the advantage it had over the relegation places at the end of the first round, and is now entering into a real dilemma.
