Valencia's Great Escape Continues With Vital Win Over Sevilla
Valencia CF extended their unbeaten run in La Liga to six matches with a narrow but vital 1-0 victory over Sevilla FC at the iconic Mestalla Stadium on Matchday 31.
The only goal of the game came courtesy of young midfielder Javi Guerra, whose clinical finish sealed another crucial three points for the struggling giants. It’s now four wins and two draws from their last six — a run that has dramatically transformed their fortunes.
Not long ago marooned in 19th place, Valencia have surged to 12th in the standings, leapfrogging Sevilla in the process. It’s a remarkable turnaround for a side that spent much of the season flirting with relegation.
