Heart-stopping finish and expulsions in Sevilla - Atlético
A high-tension end to the match between Sevilla and Atlético resulted in the expulsion of Fernando Torres and Dani Martínez, in addition to a Sevilla player. The match, crucial for promotion aspirations, was decided in the last gasp with a goal from Sevilla in the 97th minute.
The Colchoneros’ reserve team, which played half an hour with one less man after Diallo’s expulsion, saw their chances of scoring points vanish in the final moments. After the final whistle, the accumulated tension erupted into a scuffle involving players and coaching staff from both teams.
Fernando Torres was sent off for “confronting and arguing, generating confrontation”, according to the referee’s report, requiring the intervention of security personnel. Dani Martínez was also shown the red card for kicking an opponent. Despite the effort, the Rojiblancos’ reserve team was unable to maintain the draw that brought them closer to the playoff, complicating their situation in the table. Forza Atleti!
