Sevilla FC lost this Monday evening on their lawn against Girona (2-0).
Girona won 2-0 at Sevilla FC on Monday night, handing José Luis Mendilibar his first defeat since taking over the Andalusian club just over a month ago.
With this victory obtained at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium, Girona (8th, 44 pts) is back in the race for European places, taking advantage of the defeat of Betis Sevilla (6th and in a position to qualify for the Europa League Conference play-offs, 49 pts) and Athletic Bilbao (7th, 47 pts), held in check Monday evening by Mallorca (1-1).
Sevilla prepare for their semi-final
Juanpe opened the scoring in the 23rd minute. Taty Castellanos doubled the bet in the 55th, confirming his brilliant form at the moment, he who scored a quadruple against Real Madrid the previous day. Sevilla FC had gone seven games unbeaten since Mendilibar replaced Argentinian coach Jorge Sampaoli on March 21.
The club was then in great difficulty, 14th in the standings with only two points ahead of the first relegation player. Six weeks later, and despite the defeat on Monday evening, Sevilla FC now has a large margin to maintain: Espanyol Barcelona, the current first relegation, is 10 points behind him. The Andalusian club is also still in the running in the Europa League, and is preparing for its semi-final against Juventus Turin.
