Sevilla FC “D” close the year with a solid victory over Unión Gerena
- Sevilla FC "D"
The fixture played prior to the Christmas break was a crucial one for both sides. Sevilla FC “D” arrived on the back of two consecutive victories and sat in fifth place in the table, while Unión Gerena, fourth in the standings and three points ahead of the hosts, were also enjoying a positive run of results.
From the opening minutes, the Sevilla side showed clear intent to control the game and push for all three points. That approach was rewarded in the 9th minute, when Manu Cruzado delivered a cross into the area that was met by Pablo García, forcing a save from the visiting goalkeeper. Álvaro Perea reacted quickest to the rebound to open the scoring.
Sevilla FC “D” maintained their dominance, creating further chances through calm and composed play. Unión Gerena also enjoyed a few attacking moments, all of which were comfortably dealt with by Mario Rodríguez in goal. Shortly before half-time, in the 40th minute, Álvaro Perea struck again from a corner kick, capitalising on a rebound to complete his brace and extend the lead.
After the break, the home side continued to display solidity and control, generating additional opportunities without being able to add to the scoreline, while limiting the visitors’ attacking threat.
With this victory, Sevilla FC “D” head into the Christmas break in fifth place, level on points with Unión Gerena, and extend their winning streak to three consecutive victories. Beyond the result, the team can be satisfied with the performances and positive momentum built at the end of the year.
