Sevilla FC fell to Deportivo Alaves (4-3) while Rayo Vallecano went on to triumph in Granada (2-0).
Sevilla can’t do it. José Luis Mendilibar’s men are starting the 2023/2024 season very difficultly as the previous one had been, this time with two early defeats. Defeated at home against Valencia last week for their debut, the Andalusians conceded another defeat at Deportivo Alaves (4-3) on Monday.
At the end of a spectacular game with seven goals, the Sevillians were able to come back and lead thanks to goals from Abqar against his side (15th) and Erik Lamela (41st) to respond to the opening of the early Basque score from Rioja (7th). But shortly before halftime (44th) Duarte unleashed a heavy strike from the left to deceive Dimitrovic and send the two teams to the locker room at 2-2.
After the rest, Alaves completely dominated the proceedings, making the break at 4-2 quickly with the two achievements of Kike Garcia (54th and 59th) who arrived this summer free from Osasuna. The superb reduction in the gap of Rafa Mir (90 + 7) after a cannon shot did not change anything. Sevilla are 18th after two rounds.
The Rayo in control in Granada
SI Sevilla is 18th, Granada is 19th. The formation of Paco Lopez could not do anything at home against Rayo Vallecano, undergoing the law of Madrid in less than five minutes. Reduced to ten at the very end of the game after the red card from Puertas (86th), it was to eleven that the Andalusians conceded the two very fine goals scored by Alvaro Garcia (75th) then Pathé Ciss (79th) following a ‘a fixing from Raul De Tomas, giving Rayo the second victory of the season, which is in 2nd place just behind Real Madrid.
Only Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano and FC Valencia have two victories in as many days in Spain.
