A hit by Ivan Rakitic in minute 92 gave Sevilla a point in LaLiga on Saturday. The team of trainer Julen Lopetegui narrowly prevented a defeat at home against Deportivo Alavés: 2-2. In any case, the Basques are the first visiting side to take a point in the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán this season in competition. Due to the draw, Sevilla and Real Sociedad share the lead in LaLiga, with 28 points each after 13 matches.
A good header by Victor Laguardia after a corner kick in minute five meant the 0-1 for the visitors. Sevilla, with Oussama Idrissi in the starting line-up, tied the score after 37 minutes via Lucas Ocampos: 1-1. A questionable penalty kick via the VAR, which established an alleged handball from Ocampos, meant the 1-2. After much uncertainty, Joselu was finally able to take the penalty in minute 52 of the first half (!) and convert it by outwitting Yassine Bounou: 1-2.
Rakitic prevented Sevilla from losing anything in the extra time of the second half when the visitors cleared the ball in vain after a cross: 2-2. The Croat was already the 32nd goalscorer to score in the extra time of the second half this LaLiga season. There were 38 in the previous, complete (!), football year. Sevilla and Real Sociedad could be surpassed by Real Madrid, who have played one game less and will play in Granada on Sunday.
