Sevilla passes as leader with Ben Yedder's double and Krasnodar is second

[KEPY™]

The Sevilla thrashed Krasnodar 3-0 and managed comfortably the pass to the sixteenth of the Europa League, in a clash in which he had to win to not depend on the result of the Belgian Standard and that soon Ben Twed led with a double against a team Russian who finishes second and is also classified.

The sevillistas, five-time champions of the tournament, solved their commitment with two goals by Frenchman Wissam Ben Yedder, who has already 18 in Europe with the Andalusian club, in the first ten minutes, after which the Argentine Éver Banega rounded the penalty score at the beginning of the second time in an action in which the Ecuadorian Cristian Ramírez was expelled, which was a slab for the Russians.

Al Sevilla was only worth winning to avoid having to look askance at what Standard did in Turkey and took his eleven type with two changes: the central Luso Daniel Carriço and the middle Roque Mesa for the Danish Simon Kjaer, with discomfort, and Pablo Sarabia, sanctioned, and again with the Dutch Quincy Promes delayed to the right lane when starting as substitute Jesus Navas, fresh from injury.

Faced with this situation of playing the future to all or nothing after a discrete group stage, especially outside, the Spanish team went all out, to stop and with great intensity, as if in a hurry to clear uncertainties before a virtually classified Krasnodar, it was good to lose 4-0 or five goals margin if he scored.

The Andalusians exerted a great pressure and warned soon with a header from Sergi Gomez in what was the prelude of the 1-0 to take advantage of 5 minutes Ben Yedder, the smartest of the 'class', a gross error of the Russians in a risky assignment to Kritsiuk.

The accelerated clearance of the finish ended with a rejection of the Frenchman Kaboré who chased the small Frenchman, who did not forgive and brought delirium to the stands, happiness that increased only five minutes later when Ben Yedder scored his thirteenth goal this year - 6 in Europe - and achieve a 2-0 even more reassuring for their own.

A minute before, the Krasnodar, a physical team and with quick departures, wanted to react to the first blow received, but Ignatyev, after a cut in the area, did not hit narrowly, although Sevilla, who then dozed and gave ground to his rival, also had another good option in a shot of Escudero that cleared the Russian goalkeeper.

Their clear advantage in the score reduced to the sevillistas, who lost control of the game before the step forward given by 'the bulls', as is known this team from the south of Russia, which, together with the certain nervousness evidenced by the rear local, led the Russians to spin several attacks in which they lacked marksmanship.

The stingy Ivan Ignatyev tried it with a lot of sense in the 15th minute, and already near the break the Swede Viktor Claesson and the Uruguayan Mauricio Pereyra, whose departure from the bench was key in the triumph of Krasnodar (2-1) in Russia.

The Czech goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik confidently solved the first two shots and Pereyra threw away after a save from Taboré.

In the resumption, the script was even better for Sevilla, who lived more placidly throughout the second half.

In one of his first actions, in a counter directed by the Argentinean Franco Vázquez, Ben Yedder, who if not, received a pass in the area and his shot was deflected by Kritsiuk, but his rejection was headed by the Portuguese André Silva and the Ecuadorian Cristian Ramírez avoided the goal by stopping the ball with one hand under the posts.

Ramirez was sent off with a red card and left his team with ten when they only had three minutes of the second half, after which the Argentinean Ever Banega converted the resulting penalty in the final 3-0 at 49 minutes, despite the fact that Russian goal grazed the ball, which practically dropped the arms to the Krasnodar.

From there, and despite his coach Murad Musaev introduced changes, like Machín to give rest to people like Banega, Ben Yedder and Andre Silva and give minutes to Jesus Navas, after five games of injury, the shock it decayed, there was no rhythm and Sevilla devoted itself to temporizing and keeping its advantage against a Russian table that did not enjoy any occasion.

The Sevilla players had some more arrival, they could make the fourth in a strong shot away from Roque Mesa that went out and, in the end, sealed their pass to the sixteenth without any suffering.
