"In the Spanish 'La Liga' championship, 'Sevilla' celebrated another victory. The UEFA Europa League champions defeated 'Alaves' 2:1 away and moved even closer to the top of 'La Liga'. The visitors took the lead already in the third minute of the match after Y. En Nesyri's goal. In the 12th minute, E. Mendez equalized the score. In the 30th minute, the guests took the lead again with Suso scoring accurately after a pass from J. Jordano. The final result of the match could have been completely different. In the 83rd minute, X. Navarro's goal was not counted when the referee, after a VAR review, noticed a handball. The hosts could have also leveled the score, however, in the first minute of added time, Joselu failed to convert a penalty kick. Other results: 'Cadiz' 2:2 'Levante' and 'Valladolid' 2:2 'Elche'."
