Sevilla (AP) – FC Sevilla used a mistake by Atletico Madrid before the Champions League game against VfL Wolfsburg and improved to second place in the Spanish soccer championship.

The team of coach Julen Lopetegui won the home game against Espanyol Barcelona 2-0 (1-0) despite being outnumbered. Youssef En-Nesyri (13th minute) and Rafa Mir (87th) scored the goals. Former Dortmund Bundesliga player Thomas Delaney saw yellow-red in the 65th minute.

Sevilla will play in Group G of the Champions League at VfL Wolfsburg on Wednesday (9 p.m. / DAZN). At the start of the premier class, the Spaniards did not get beyond a 1-1 draw against Austria’s champions RB Salzburg.

In the league, Sevilla benefited from a slip by champions Madrid. Atletico lost on the 7th matchday to the previously pointless bottom of the table Deportivo Alaves with 0: 1 (0: 1). Victor Languardia scored in the 4th minute for the underdog. Atletico now have 14 points like Sevilla, but the worse goal difference.

City rivals Real Madrid also lost points. The team of the former Bayern professional David Alaba did not get more than a 0-0 win against Villareal FC, but remains the table leader with 17 points.
