Sierra Stuns La Coruña as Sevilla Edge 1-0 in La Liga

Sevilla Punish 10-Man La Coruña in Tense La Liga Clash

Sevilla ground out a 1-0 La Liga victory over Deportivo La Coruña in a match that turned on Angeliño’s 59th-minute red card and Miguel Sierra’s ice-cool second-half strike. The Riazor fell silent in the 52nd minute when Sierra pounced on tentative defending, lashing a 12-yard drive that left Leo Román rooted – Sevilla’s first shot on target transforming into the only goal they’d need.

Deportivo’s Collapse After Angeliño’s Moment of Madness

Antonio Hidalgo’s side had controlled 53% possession but produced just one shot inside Sevilla’s box all evening. Their plight worsened when Angeliño, already walking a tightrope after a VAR-upgraded yellow card, lunged recklessly at Kike Salas. Referee César Soto Grado didn’t hesitate – Brandishing La Coruña’s first red of the season before the hour mark.

The hosts never recovered. Lorenzo Amatucci’s 77th-minute yellow for a cynical trip summed up their frustration, while Sevilla’s backline stood firm despite four yellows of their own. Isaac Romero’s late caution typified the visitors’ streetwise approach – taking one for the team as Deportivo pressed desperately with ten men.

What This Means For Both La Liga Campaigns

Sevilla’s away warriors climb to seventh with this third clean sheet in six games, Sierra’s winner underlining Luis García’s counter-attacking blueprint. For Hidalgo’s men, a fourth winless match leaves them glancing nervously downward – Aubameyang’s anonymous display (zero shots on target) emblematic of their blunt attacking edge.
