Sevilla strike late to beat Espanyol in relegation tussle
SEVILLE: Akor Adams snatched Sevilla a late 2-1 victory over Espanyol in La Liga on Saturday to boost their hopes of avoiding relegation. The Nigeria forward’s 91st minute strike propelled record seven-time Europa League winners Sevilla provisionally up to 12th, three points clear of the relegation zone. Espanyol, now without a win in 18 league matches — all of 2026 to date — sit 15th, two points above the drop zone, after a bad-tempered match with 10 yellow cards. Tyrhys Dolan slammed home for Espanyol early in the second half at Sevilla’s Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium, before the hosts hit back. Sevilla defender Andres Castrin scored to level in the 82nd minute with the help of some poor handling by Espanyol goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic. In stoppage time Adams pounced on a loose ball and produced a clinical finish to secure a crucial victory for Luis Garcia Plaza’s team. “This comeback, I think it brings us closer, closer to what we’ve been looking for,” Castrin told Movistar. “It was essential to win here today, to get the three points with these wonderful people (the fans). “Thanks to them — they have lifted us, have carried us, and you could really feel the atmosphere, how it influenced those final minutes when the goal comes at the end.” Earlier Alaves, 18th and one point from safety, drew 1-1 against Elche, 13th, who are not yet safe from the spectre of relegation either. Later Saturday Atletico Madrid host Celta Vigo, who are fighting for a Champions League qualifying spot with Real Betis, who travel to face Real Sociedad. On Sunday La Liga leaders Barcelona can wrap up back-to-back Spanish titles if they avoid defeat against arch-rivals Real Madrid in the Clasico at Camp Nou.
