Sevilla ends winless streak with victory over Ceuta
Sevilla secured their first win of the 2026/27 pre-season with a 2-1 victory over Ceuta in their fourth friendly, thanks to goals from Peque and Miguel Sierra. The team, which finished 13th in LaLiga last season with 43 points, showed offensive improvements, scoring their first goals from open play.
What happened in the match?
The game started with Ceuta pressing for possession, but Sevilla took the lead through a well-worked move involving Manuel Ángel and a pass from Guridi to Peque. However, Anuar equalized for Ceuta. In the second half, Miguel Sierra sealed the win with a goal assisted by Jesuly, cementing his status as the team's top scorer in pre-season.
Why is this important for Sevilla?
The match allowed young talents like Nico Guillén and Miguel Sierra to showcase their potential. The team also worked on ball possession and control, though they still need to improve their attacking efficiency. Manager Luis García Plaza remains in charge despite rumors linking him to a possible exit.
What's next for Sevilla?
Sevilla will travel to the Netherlands for a pre-season training camp, where they will play three friendlies, including one against Bayer Leverkusen on August 8. Their LaLiga season opener is against Rayo Vallecano at the Sánchez-Pizjuán on August 15.
