Ten-man Athletic Club overrun by Sevilla in La Liga defeat
Sevilla won 3-1 away at Athletic Club in a La Liga Regular Season 2 fixture that turned decisively in the opening quarter of an hour.

AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Playing against ten men for the entire second half, Sevilla extended their control through Chidera Ejuke, who converted an Isaac assist in the 50th minute to make it 2-0. Isaac then turned provider into scorer seven minutes later, finishing off a return pass from Oso to put the visitors 3-0 ahead and effectively settle the contest.
Athletic Club found a consolation through Aitor Paredes in the 70th minute, converting a Yeray assist to reduce the deficit to 1-3, but there was no route back for the hosts. Sevilla managed the game comfortably from there to close out the win and preserve their unbeaten start to the campaign.
The numbers reflected the lopsided nature of the afternoon once the red card intervened: Athletic Club held 69 percent of possession yet mustered only two shots, both on target, with an expected goals figure of just 0.03, underlining how little of that territory translated into genuine threat.
Yuri was rated the joint-highest performer for Athletic Club at 6.7 despite being dismissed in the 11th minute, sharing top marks with teammate Jesús Areso and Sevilla's Lucien Agoumé.
Despite holding 69 percent of possession, Athletic Club could not turn that dominance into meaningful attacking output, managing only two shots all afternoon.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Athletic Club 44%, the draw 30%, Sevilla 26%. It finished Athletic Club 1–3 Sevilla.
Level sides, home ground swings it, even this early in the season — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and La Liga home advantage gives Athletic Club the lean. The draw at 30% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Athletic Club in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1794 to 1757. Sides this close won 45.6% of 14,483 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.9%). La Liga home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (28.3% vs 30.2%). La Liga homes won 46.7% of 6,088 games vs 44.9% across all 99,210 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 44%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Athletic Club's column. Across 10,641 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Sevilla win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.7 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,608. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw. The goals environment adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Last 6 between them: Athletic Club 4 wins, 1 draw, Sevilla 1 win. Most recently Sevilla 2–1 Athletic Club, 7 months ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 43.1% of 5045 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points. Sevilla's last five: W-W-L-L-W — clearly the hotter side on recent results. Between equals, recent form told us almost nothing: the home side won 44.7% of 2186 games when clearly hotter and 42.9% of 3996 when clearly colder.
