Sevilla on the Brink of Safety in LaLiga Following Vital Home Victory Over Las Palmas

Sevilla snapped an eight-match winless streak by securing a 1-0 victory over Las Palmas at home in LaLiga, effectively solidifying their position above the relegation zone with a seven-point cushion over 18th-placed Leganes, who have just three matches left to play.

Interestingly, it was the visitors who had the first real opportunity of the match, with Adnan Januzaj failing to capitalise after a promising run, his effort easily gathered by Orjan Nyland.

Sevilla’s Albert Sambi Lokonga then came close twice: first, he lifted a shot over the bar, before his follow-up forced a save from Dinko Horkas.

At the other end, Jose Campana tried his luck from distance, but Nyland was quick to react, maintaining the 0-0 scoreline as the teams headed into half-time.

The second half saw the deadlock broken fairly quickly; Lucien Agoume directed a free-kick towards Alvaro Garcia Pascual, who seized the moment to net his first goal for Sevilla with a well-placed header into the bottom corner.

Las Palmas struggled to respond effectively, and Sevilla nearly extended their lead with a dangerous free-kick from Suso that Horkas had to clear.

In a late bid for an equaliser, Las Palmas thought they had found the back of the net through Oli McBurnie, but the referee adjudged Sergi Cardona to have fouled Nyland before the goal could be awarded.

Ultimately, Las Palmas suffered their eighth loss in nine encounters against Sevilla, with this latest defeat marking their fourth consecutive loss in the league. They remain in 19th position, three points adrift of safety, with only two matches left on the fixture list.

The win elevated Sevilla to 14th place, effectively confirming their survival in the league.
