Valencia
Valencia delivered a clinical first-half performance to secure a convincing 2-0 victory over Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. Hugo Duro and Largie Ramazani were the standout performers for Los Che, with Duro opening the scoring from close range after Ramazani's initial effort was saved, before Ramazani doubled the lead just before halftime with a well-placed finish from Luis Rioja's cross. Sevilla's struggles continued as they failed to mount any meaningful response despite making five substitutions, including three at halftime in a desperate attempt to change the momentum. The result sees Valencia climb away from the relegation zone while Sevilla remain in the bottom half of the table, with their early tactical changes and inability to create clear chances highlighting the gap in quality on the day.
