MADRID - Sevilla were held to a 1-1 draw
at home to Deportivo La Coruna in La Liga as they failed to trim
the gap with third-placed Valencia to one point on Saturday.
Defender Federico Fazio put the Andalusians ahead with a
glancing header in the 21st minute at the Sanchez Pizjuan but
Depor were level three minutes later when striker Adrian Lopez
netted from an Andres Guardado cross.
In other matches on Saturday, Real Mallorca's woeful away
form continued when they lost 3-0 at Getafe.
The Balearic Islanders, who have won 11 in 12 at home but
only two in 14 away, remain fifth on 43 points, one more than
sixth-placed Depor and two ahead of Athletic Bilbao who are
seventh after a 0-0 draw at Sporting Gijon.
Goals from Daniel Parejo and Miku and a Manu Del Moral
penalty earned the points for Getafe, and Mallorca's Portuguese
defender Nunes was dismissed for handling on the goalline, an
incident that led to Moral's spot-kick in the 85th minute.
Gijon goalkeeper Juan Pablo saved a 59th-minute penalty from
Bilbao midfielder Igor Gabilondo to deny the Basque club all
three points at a rain-lashed Molinon stadium.
