Tie to nothing in Seville

Sevilla and Betis drew 0-0 after a match with more literature than football. A thick, imprecise and without depth meeting that did not convince either of the two hobbies.

He Real Betis He answered patiently, without risk, waiting for his opportunity. Football was severe, with the complicity of Gil Manzano. Very disputed, with many stoppages, without showiness or danger. A derby, after all. With that mixture of rigor and consideration.

Rafael Mir I assumed the tip in the Nervionenses. In the first half he was missing, unassisted by Papu Gomez and by lick it, who were wandering too far from the area, imprecise and erratic. In the verdiblanca squad, Borja Iglesias waged war on his side. With no gaps or flow, his threat was tender. At halftime the teams left without chances. The meeting was a static balance.

He caracoleada, he fanned sabaly and peda in his side. The game was still stuck. Battles between soccer players. Lots of spark and little fire.

The long possessions of Betis, led by channelsnever ended in the area of Dmitrovic. They were elaborate melodies, but a hummable chorus was missing.
