On May 14, in a crucial battle of the 36th round of the 2024/25 La Liga season, Sevilla won a long-awaited victory at home. With Pascual's key goal in the second half, they defeated the visiting Las Palmas 1-0, not only ending the previous eight-round winless streak, but also successfully securing their La Liga seat.
Before this round of matches, Sevilla had only 38 points, only 4 points away from the relegation zone . A slight mistake could drag them into the relegation quagmire. Therefore, this match is of great significance to the home team. The coach also repeatedly emphasized the importance of the match before the game and encouraged the players to go all out and strive to win three points at home.
At the beginning of the game, both sides played cautiously. Although Sevilla had an advantage in ball possession, it was slow to open up the situation on the offensive end. The two sides drew 0-0 in the first half . However, in the second half, the situation of the game finally changed. In the 52nd minute, Agoume quickly advanced after stealing the ball in the midfield and sent a precise through ball. Alvaro Pascual understood it and calmly shot low into the penalty area to help Sevilla take the lead. This goal also became the only goal of the game.
As the game progressed, Las Palmas tried to counterattack, but they were unable to break through Sevilla's defense. After taking the lead, the home team strengthened its defense and repeatedly resolved the opponent's counterattacks. In the end, Sevilla maintained the score of 1-0 until the end of the game and gained three valuable points.
This victory is of great significance to Sevilla. It not only ended the team's eight-game winning streak in the league, but also brought their points to 41 , ranking up to 14th, thus completing the relegation goal two rounds in advance and preparing for the rest of the season with peace of mind. On the other hand, Las Palmas, with consecutive losses, is still trapped in the relegation zone. Currently, they are ranked 19th with 32 points , and the relegation situation is still grim.
In other matches on the same day, Ciudad Vigo beat Real Sociedad 1-0 away, and Girona also beat Valladolid 1-0 away . Many games in this round were decided by small scores, showing the fierce competition among teams at the end of the league.
Overall, Sevilla won three points at a critical moment in this round, which not only broke the psychological shadow of consecutive defeats, but also restored the team's morale. In the next two rounds, they will have the opportunity to bring more positive performances to the fans and draw a relatively satisfactory end to this season.
