Sevilla edge Valencia thanks to late Juan Iglesias strike
Sevilla secured a 1-0 win over Valencia in a La Liga Regular Season - 5 fixture, with the only goal arriving eleven minutes from time. Both sides had gone into the break level, with the deadlock only broken deep into the second half.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Juan Iglesias struck in the 81st minute, converting after being set up by Giorgi Kochorashvili to give the home side the lead they would not relinquish. The goal proved decisive, denying Valencia any way back as the visitors pushed for a response without finding the breakthrough.
Sevilla dominated territorially and in the final third, registering 13 shots to Valencia's three and forcing four efforts on target compared with none for the visitors. Despite having less of the ball, Sevilla's control over 46 percent possession still translated into far greater attacking threat, while Valencia managed six fouls fewer than their hosts committed in the 12 they conceded.
The result lifts Sevilla to third in the table on 10 points from five games, while Valencia remain rooted in 20th with just a single point after five outings, extending their difficult start to the campaign.
Kike Salas earned the highest rating on the pitch at 7.36, anchoring a Sevilla side that limited Valencia to no shots on target all match. Juan Iglesias also impressed, capping his display with the winning goal.
Sevilla's 13 shots to Valencia's three underlined how one-sided the contest was in front of goal.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Sevilla 46%, the draw 27%, Valencia 27%. It finished Sevilla 1–0 Valencia.
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 Sevilla the lean. The draw at 27% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Sevilla in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1770 to 1769. Sides this close won 45.7% of 14,631 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 6,121 games vs 44.9% across all 100,057 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 46%?
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 Sevilla's column. Across 11,040 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw second, level with the Valencia win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 25,040. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Sevilla come into this after a busy window — 11 arrivals, 15 departures, and fewer of last season's regular starters still in the eleven. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). Valencia come into this after a busy window — 7 arrivals and 13 departures over the summer. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
