Sevilla vs Valencia CF

Sevilla ground out a hard-fought 1-0 win over Valencia at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, needing until deep into the second half to finally break down a stubborn visiting defense. The hosts dominated the game from start to finish but couldn't find the breakthrough until the closing stages, making for a tense watch until the decisive moment arrived. The only goal came in the 81st minute, when Juan Iglesias rose to head home a cross from Giorgi Kochorashvili off a set piece. Sevilla finished the match with a lopsided 15-4 edge in shots and 5-1 on target, reflecting their control throughout. Yellow cards went to Ejuke for Sevilla, and to Sato and Maffeo for Valencia, but there were no red cards or penalties to speak of. The result pushes Sevilla to 10 points from five matches, keeping them among the early pace-setters. For Valencia, it's another painful blow following last week's 0-5 hammering by Barcelona, leaving them bottom of the table with just one point and mounting pressure on manager Carlos Corberán.
