Also in the current Cup, the earlier “blue-pomegranate” beat the home of “Murcia” 5-0.
“Espanyol” after the Cup victory received a portion of the cold shower in the match Examples of “Seville”, losing home clean “nerviontsam” with a score of 0: 3. The defeat was interrupted by a four-match unbeaten series of “parrots” of three wins and draws. At the same exit, “Espanyol” this season as a whole does not look convincing.
