Sevilla made the decisive break on the counter, with Sierra converting the rebound after Leo Román saved Stassin's shot. Deportivo were already behind when Angeliño was sent off following a VAR review of his challenge on the scorer. Substitute Asp Jensen still forced saves from Vlachodimos, but Sevilla kept the game in Deportivo's half towards the end, denying the hosts a sustained late push.
Afterwards, Sevilla's coach praised his side's defensive work without dropping deep, while saying they should have made more of their chances. He welcomed their progress with the ball but urged humility despite the strong start.
Deportivo's first blank also ended Aubameyang's run of scoring in each of their opening five league matches. For Antonio Hidalgo, the challenge is to recover that attacking threat without losing sight of the nine points already collected. Real Betis visit Riazor on Sunday, giving his side an early opportunity to respond in front of their own supporters.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Deportivo La Coruna 40%, the draw 29%, Sevilla 31%. It finished Deportivo La Coruna 0–1 Sevilla.
Home ground outweighs Sevilla's rating edge — Sevilla are the stronger side on our strength rating, but Sevilla's hot finishing due to cool plus La Liga home advantage give Deportivo La Coruna the lean. The draw at 29% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Deportivo La Coruna at 40%?
Home ground, against the rating. Sevilla sit 55 points higher on our strength rating — 1724 to 1779. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 32.9% of 10,639 such games. Sevilla scored +0.43 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Visitors running this hot went on to win 28.8% of 1,502 games, vs 29.2% for visitors finishing normally. 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 46.6% of 6,134 games vs 44.9% across all 100,233 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 40%?
Because Sevilla are the stronger side on our strength rating. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Deportivo La Coruna's column. Across 11,167 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 the draw at 29%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. These teams' recent games average 2.6 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,835. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw. The cool-off factor takes 1.6 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Deportivo La Coruna have gained 91 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,376 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Sevilla have gained 72 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
