Outstanding performance
Sevilla•DefenderSevilla dominated territory and chances throughout, racking up 13 shots to Valencia's 2 and doubling their opponents in dangerous attacks, but couldn't find the breakthrough until the 81st minute. Juan Iglesias settled a tense affair with a well-taken free kick after Pablo Maffeo's foul gave Sevilla the opening they needed. Valencia rode their luck for long spells, with David Otorbi's crossbar-rattler in the 78th minute the closest they came to snatching something, but their goalkeeper Sevilla's had to make zero saves compared to three from Valencia's stopper. The result keeps Sevilla's title credentials intact while Valencia will rue their inability to convert defensive resilience into anything at the other end.
