Sevilla's counterattack caught both the Spanish defender and goalkeeper off guard.
The defender turned slowly and the goalkeeper did not attack.
Immobile got behind the defender at high speed, jumped up and stopped the ball with the instep of his feet.
At this time, Espanyol goalkeeper Paul realized that something was wrong and attacked.
Paul just rushed to the line of the penalty area, and Immobile directly picked up the ball and lobbed it.
Paul quickly jumped up to intercept the ball.
Because Mobile's kick was at just the right height, Paul jumped with all his strength but was unable to touch the ball.
Just when all the Espanyol fans were panicking, the ball flew against the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.
well!
There was a huge sigh from the Pizjuan Stadium.
Sevilla fans stamped their feet and beat their chests, feeling extremely sorry for not getting a good start.
The Spaniard survived the disaster, and the fans were all secretly grateful.
If this lob shot had been lower, the ball would have gone in.
Espanyol's players were stimulated.
The game started again, and the Spaniards played much bolder than at the beginning.
After the kick-off in the center circle, the forwards and forwards all ran towards Sevilla's half.
The midfielder and backfielder controlled the ball for a few times, then quickly passed it forward to find their teammates.
Sevilla played very confidently at their home court and did not leave many players in their own half, just to fight against the Spaniards.
8th minute of the game.
Asensio, who returned from injury, caught the ball from the wing and quickly cut across to the center.
Asensio was observing while dribbling, and he saw Zhao Yang suddenly change direction and throw away the defensive player.
Asensio immediately passed the ball directly to Zhao Yang's running route.
This is a tacit understanding between teammates.
When the ball arrived, Zhao Yang arrived just in time. Before the opponent could destroy it, he flicked the ball, dodged the steal, dunked again, adjusted his direction, and drove the ball towards the penalty area.
Asensio's pass was very subtle and tricky, and Zhao Yang also got rid of the defense immediately, but Zhao Yang is Sevilla's key defensive target.
Sevilla defended very quickly.
Zhao Yang reached the edge of the penalty area, and the central defender arrived in time to block Zhao Yang's shooting route.
Zhao Yang didn't wait for the defender to stand firm, then made a "fried ball", swaying the shooting angle, and raised his foot to shoot.
Even though the time was extremely short, the system's signing skills were extremely stable, and the shot still hit the goal frame steadily.
The angle is not tricky enough! The power is not strong enough!
However, it was close to the goal, and goalkeeper Rico reluctantly blocked the ball, but was unable to hit it far.
When Zhao Yang shot, Caicedo consciously ran towards the penalty area.
God rewards those who work hard, and Caicedo finally got the chance to make a follow-up shot.
Caicedo slid and shot. Goalkeeper Rico hadn't gotten up yet and could only watch the ball fly straight into the net.
1:0
The Spanish team took the lead in the first 9 minutes.
Caicedo's follow-up shot opened the scoring for the Spaniard.
Caicedo was so excited after scoring the goal that he got up and flew toward Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang was running over to hug Caicedo, but Caicedo threw him to the ground.
At this time, Espanyol players also ran over, pounced on the two forwards on the ground, and started playing a game of stacks of arhats in front of Sevilla's goal.
This is one of the highlights of La Liga. The person responsible for the commentary of this game is CCTV commentator He Wei.
Previously, Zhao Yang made an extraordinary pass, and He Wei didn't have time to cheer. After the ball was scored, He Wei couldn't help but high-five him.
"Beautiful! Beautiful! So beautiful! It's a beautiful life, and the shooting is wonderful! The follow-up shot is smart! The Spaniard has really changed his mind this season!"
"Zhao Yang is the catalyst for all these changes! Well! And Asensio. These two young people have revitalized the entire team."
"Although there is little hope of competing for the championship, the Espanyol team's bench is too weak and the overall strength is insufficient, but we can really dream of a Champions League seat."
The Sevilla fans at the scene fell silent for a moment.
At this moment, Sevilla fans finally felt the Spaniard's difference.
This is no longer the relegation team that can be manipulated at will.
This is a real dark horse.
Seeing Spanish coach Sergio celebrating passionately, Emery's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with ups and downs.
That Chinese guy is really good. He was able to score 16 goals in 16 rounds. It was expected that he would be so good.
What he didn't expect was that other players would also undergo huge changes.
The players are still the scraps from last season, but now, they act with confidence, as if they are stars.
Even Sergio, the firefighting coach with mediocre talent, seems to have the aura of a famous coach.
The impact of a star is so terrifying! He can actually change a team.
Emery couldn't help but envy Sergio's good fortune.
After the celebration, the game continued.
As the overlord of the Europa League, Sevilla has a lot of experience in competitions. It is not uncommon to fall behind by one goal. They did not change the rhythm of the game because of conceding a goal.
Sevilla has always been La Liga's top player in terms of skill, skillful coordination, and outstanding personal abilities, allowing Sevilla to quickly control the situation on the field.
The Spaniards had to shrink their defense whether they wanted to or not.
In the 16th minute of the game, Sevilla continued to hit the wall in the Spanish frontcourt. The Spanish defense was thrown into confusion and the players lost their positions.
Sevilla midfielder Chris passed the ball across to core Banega from the wing.
Banega saw the striker Immobile heading towards the penalty area. He kept the ball and sent the ball to the Spaniard's penalty area with the arch of his foot.
The striker Immobile came in at high speed like a swimming fish. Before the ball hit the ground, he jumped into the air and fired a volley.
Goalkeeper Paul had already attacked to get the ball, but because Mobile came too fast and his shot was too tricky, Paul did not touch the ball, and the ball flew from his hand into the net.
1:1
Immobile's wonderful strike helped Sevilla tie with Espanyol.
After scoring the goal, Immobile raised his arms and shouted, venting his excitement.
Sevilla players ran to Immobile, hugged him and embraced him.
The stadium in Pizjuan is finally boiling.
The Sevilla fans clapped and cheered so loudly that no one could hear the voices on the other side.
Emery clapped and cheered, very satisfied with the players' attack.
On-site commentator He Wei also had to applaud Sevilla's mercury-like attack.
"This is a more beautiful goal than the Spaniard's goal. The mercury is pouring to the ground! It's so smooth! Sevilla's technique is really good. In their own home court, they are also confident. It's really difficult for the Spaniard today."
The Spanish head coach Sergio secretly sighed, this is a Spanish goal, smooth and beautiful. If he were not Sevilla's opponent, he would also want to applaud this goal, but now, he can only think about it
