Juan Iglesias‘ goal secured a 1-0 victory for Sevilla, pushing Valencia’s coach Carlos Corberán to the brink of dismissal. The first half was largely uneventful, with both sides failing to create significant chances. Valencia suffered an early blow when Tarrega was forced off due to injury before the 30-minute mark.
In the second half, Sevilla increased their pressure on Dimitrievski‘s goal. Kike Salas came close with a header from a corner, while Stassin struck the post. Valencia responded with only one notable effort, as Otorbi hit the frame of the goal. The decisive moment arrived in the 84th minute when, following a cross from Kochorashvili, a defender for the home team headed in the winner after Gaya mishandled an offside trap. This victory lifted Sevilla into the upper part of the league standings.
