At the start of the match, Akor Adams created a dangerous situation, but the goalkeeper saved his shot. Inigo Ruiz's shot from outside the penalty area lacked a bit of accuracy.

Early in the second half, Yuri Berchiche stopped a counterattack with his hand, and the referee awarded a penalty. Adams executed the 11-meter shot accurately, taking advantage of the goalkeeper diving to the other corner, putting Sevilla ahead — 2:1. Additionally, Kike Salas's acrobatic 'scissor' shot while falling was memorable, but the goalkeeper saved it.
After this result, both teams have 24 points, sharing the ninth position in the tournament standings.
