Overview
- Marcos Alonso converted from the spot after Baptiste Mendy fouled Ilaix Moriba in the area at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
- Goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos made a notable save to deny Moriba earlier but was beaten by the ensuing penalty.
- The result leaves Celta in seventh with four wins in five and a fourth straight clean sheet, level on points with Real Betis in the European race.
- Sevilla remain 14th following a third straight loss without scoring, extending a worrying run under Matias Almeyda.
- Pre-match predictions from Racing Post and USA TODAY backed a Celta victory, and the final score validated those calls.
