They sour the party in Bilbao

Villarreal ruined Athletic Bilbao’s celebration in the final minutes, in their first match after being crowned champion of the Copa del Rey.

Dani Parejo sent a penalty kick into the net in added time, with which the “Yellow Submarine” left San Mamés with a 1-1 draw against the Basque team, in the actions of the Spanish League.

Parejo’s execution during the fifth minute of stoppage time was after the video referee (VAR) sanctioned a handball by Yuri Berchiche inside the area.

This was the second penalty in favor of Villarreal; Gerardo Moreno missed his first attempt at 11 minutes.

Oihan Sancet opened the scoring for the hosts in the 66th minute with a shot inside the area from a pass from Gorka Guruzeta.

The Bilbao team is in fifth position with 57 points, four behind Atlético de Madrid in the fight for fourth position that gives the last pass to the next Champions League. Last weekend they ended a 40-year fast without winning the Copa del Rey after beating Mallorca.

Villarreal, for its part, is in ninth position with 39 units.

Athletic came out with the Copa del Rey to offer it to its fans while they were received in a hallway made up of the Villarreal players and the former soccer players who won the previous title of this tournament in 1984.

Sevillian triumph

Youssef En-Nesyri (43 minutes) and Dodi Lukébakio (90+3) scored the goals with which Sevilla beat Las Palmas 2-0 at home to move away from the relegation zone.

The Andalusian team is in 13th position with 34 units, nine above Cádiz, which is in 18th position to lose the category.

Las Palmas suffered its fourth defeat in a row and went seven days without a win (five losses and two draws); They are in 12th position with 37 units.

For a place in Europe

Adri Embarba converted a penalty in the final stretch so that bottom team Almería achieved a 2-2 draw at Real Sociedad.

Real Sociedad remains in sixth position with 50 units, having one of the places for the next edition of the Europa League.— AP
