Relentless Intensity in Andalusia
The Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán erupted from kickoff. Villarreal struck first through Tani Oluwaseyi in the 17th minute, courtesy of Sergi Cardona's assist. But Sevilla refused to fold: Djibril Sow leveled matters in the 51st with a finish that restored hope to the home crowd.
What looked destined for a stalemate unraveled in the dying moments. With Balance shattered, substitute Manu Solomon—introduced in the 84th minute—delivered a clinical 86th-minute strike, assisted by Georges Mikautadze. Three lead changes, 28 combined shots, and seven on target: this was a masterclass in offensive chaos.
