Sevilla – Rayo Vallecano

Sevilla edged out Rayo Vallecano 2‑1 at home to stretch their unbeaten run to three games and climb to fifth place with ten points, having scored eight and conceded six in five matches. The visitors, languishing in sixteenth with just four points and a goal‑difference of minus six, failed to improve on their solitary win and one draw so far this season. The win also tipped the head‑to‑head balance in Sevilla’s favour, as they now hold a 1‑0 advantage over Rayo in their only league encounter. With three victories, one draw and one loss, Sevilla look poised to challenge the top four, while Rayo’s three defeats underline a difficult campaign ahead.
