Sevilla comes back with two penalty goals against a weak Rayo, while Rayo suffers its first loss of the season. The Sevilla improved greatly in the second half, thanks to the football of Peque and the collapse of a Rayo out of form. The Madrid team took the lead with a goal from Álvaro García after a monumental error from the debutant Sangante. Rayo did not have football or pace to maintain its advantage, with players like Isi, De Frutos or the own Álvaro far from their best version.

Why it matters for Sevilla
Sevilla has a complicated dilemma ahead. It is a team that has lost much quality in the last years and that in the current one has given another step more daring. Without guaranteed signings to arrive and with its best players, case of Akor Adams, Sow or Gudelj, already out, it has put itself in the hands of a group of youngsters to navigate in a category as hard as the First Division.
What comes next?
Sevilla enjoyed its first three points and Rayo gives the impression of missing a lot of Íñigo Pérez. Beñat San José has a lot of work ahead. The Andalusian team now has a record of 3 points in 1 game, with 2 goals in favor and 1 against. Its next game is on February 28, 2027 against Osasuna at the El Sadar stadium. With 2 goals scored and 1 conceded, Sevilla is on a good path in the current season.
