Xavier García Pimienta was able to take several positive readings from the clash that his team played last night at the RCDE Stadiumwhere Sevilla played a good game on the pitch, without any problems, but forceful enough in defense and effective in attack to win. Furthermore, more than a simple victory, yesterday’s 0-2 was a real boost in morale for a team that, finally, win as a visitor this campaign after eleven days of LaLiga. Likewise, this victory meant resuming the path of good results that was broken by the resounding defeat at the hands of Barcelona on matchday ten. All this, visiting a team, Espanyol, against which Sevilla has become accustomed to reversing delicate situationswhen you confront him at home.
This eleventh matchday of LaLiga 2024/25 is the last example of How Sevilla resurrects at Espanyol’s home: first away victory of the season, resuming the good streak of results and a clean sheet.

Until then, Sevilla had lost four times (2-1 against Osasuna, 2-1 in Almería, 0-3 against Barcelona and 0-4 against Manchester City, in the Champions League).

Also, a little over a decade ago, Sevilla experienced a situation very similar to the current one at Espanyol’s field. LaLiga 2013/14 reached its thirteenth matchday without the team then led by Unai Emery having been able to win at home. However, in the stadium previously known as Cornellà-El Prat Stadium, the Nervionenses reversed this situation. And not only that, but that victory as a visitor meant for the people of Seville re-add three out of every thirteen months later. The score that led to that victory was 1-3, with Sergio García as the local scorer, and with Fazio, Vitolo and Bacca as Sevilla’s scorers.

These are the most agonizing situations that Sevilla was able to get out of in the Espanyol field. Even so, others are remembered, such as the 0-3 (Franco Vázquez, Sarabia and Muriel) on the twentieth matchday of LaLiga 2017/18 with which Vincenzo Montella’s men They stopped a streak of five consecutive days without winning (with four losses and one draw).
