Fifth placed Sevilla kept up their push for a Champions League spot, a 0-2 victory at sixth placed Villarreal on Sunday evening keeping them four points behind Atlético. The Andalusians had already beaten their hosts twice in the last eleven days to knock them out of the Europa League, and Sergio Asenjo had to be at his best to keep out Carriço, Bacca and Diogo Figueiras before the break. Nico Pareja had to clear off the line from Joel Campbell with the keeper beaten, and Moi Gómez crashed a shot against the upright in reply, but just four minutes in to the second half Coke put the visitors ahead after running on to Diogo’s back-heel pass to fire an angled shot in off the far post. A quarter of an hour later Vitolo made it two, steering a shot past his new international colleague Asenjo after Rukavina could only head back Coke’s cross, and the game was out of Villarreal’s reach. Gerard Moreno did turn a deflected shot against the post later on, but Marcelino’s side lost out to their opponents once again, and they end the weekend six points behind them in the table.
