Valencia Defeat Europa League Winners Sevilla In LaLiga Opener
Valencia defeated Europa League champions Sevilla 2-1 on Friday on the opening night of the new Spanish Liga season. Valencia, who only survived relegation by two points in the last campaign, took the lead on the hour mark thanks to a header from Guinea international defender Mouctar Diakhaby after good work by Portuguese teammate Andre Almeida. Sevilla levelled nine minutes later when Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri headed in at the far post from a cross by Suso.
