Sevilla achieves its first Liga win
Sevilla will arrive at San Mamés on Saturday with the momentum of having scored its first three points in Liga through a comeback victory over Rayo Vallecano (2-1). The game turned against the Andalusian team very soon, an error by Sangante was punished by Álvaro García at the 4th minute. The nerves invaded the Pizjuán in the first half, however the team of Luis García Plaza changed their face after the break.
What happened?
Guridi did not take long to level with a penalty. Sevilla took the weight of the game and generated opportunities, although the draw did not move from the marker. Everything turned against their interests in the 88’. Kike Salas saw the direct red for a hard entry on De Frutos while trying to avoid a counterattack by Rayo. The defender will miss the meeting with Athletic due to suspension, a significant blow for the Hispalense squad.
Why it matters for Sevilla?
The comeback victory is a great boost for the Andalusian team, which seeks to consolidate itself in the Liga. The injury to Kike Salas is a hard blow for the Hispalense defense.
What comes next?
Sevilla will play its next game at home against Real Madrid on February 21, 2027. Currently, it is in second position in the Liga with 3 points, 1 victory and 0 defeats. Alfon González is injured and will not be able to play in the next game.
