Rekik saves Sevilla against Valladolid for Kouassi’s premiere

The Andalusians were hot. We are not talking about the weather here, but about a match of the 2nd day of La Liga between Sevilla FC and Real Valladolid (1-1) this Friday evening. After conceding the opener against the run of play in the 80th minute, on an achievement by Anuar Tuhami, former Marseillais Karim Rekik, 6 minutes later, allowed his team to take 1 point after a disagreement between Sergio Asenjo and his defence.

Despite an electric end to the match, where 3 red cards were issued after a foul by Lucas Ocampos, including two for two players (Marcos Acuña and Jawad Yamiq), and extended additional time, the score did not move. After their inaugural defeat at Osasuna, Sevilla, with whom rookie Tanguy Kouassi made his debut, confirm their complicated start to the season. The club chaired by Ronaldo also takes its first point of the 2022-2023 financial year in Spain.
