Valencia 1-1 Sevilla: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Valencia 1-1 Sevilla in the La Liga on Sunday, 07 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

The match between Valencia and Sevilla ended in a 1-1 draw. Sevilla took the lead in the 58th minute through an own goal by Valencia’s César Tárrega, which shifted momentum after a first half where both sides struggled to create clear chances. Valencia, coming off a mixed run with draws against Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis plus a heavy loss to Real Madrid, pushed harder in the second half but needed late substitutions to spark their attack.

Valencia equalised in the 90+3rd minute when Hugo Duro scored, assisted by Filip Ugrinic, securing a point in stoppage time. This late goal reflected Valencia’s persistence despite Sevilla’s slight edge in possession and dribbles, with the visitors’ recent form showing inconsistency including losses to Real Betis and Espanyol. Overall, the draw extended both teams’ unbeaten streaks in their last outings, though it highlighted defensive vulnerabilities on display.

The game was evenly contested, with Sevilla holding a narrow 52% possession advantage over Valencia’s 48%, suggesting the visitors controlled more of the play without dominating outright. Both teams managed just two corners each, pointing to limited set-piece threats, while Sevilla edged successful dribbles at 42 to Valencia’s 35, indicating better individual flair in breaking lines. Discipline was an issue, particularly for Sevilla with six yellow cards compared to Valencia’s three, and no red cards were shown, which kept the match flowing despite the cautions.

Valencia used all five substitutions, including a triple change at 63’ where Diego López replaced Arnaut Danjuma, Lucas Beltrán came on for Javi Guerra, and Filip Ugrinic took over from André Almeida, followed by Largie Ramazani for Luis Rioja at 68’ and Jesús Vázquez for José Gayà at 77’. Sevilla made three changes, with Joan Jordán replacing Peque Fernández at 81’, Alfon González for Oso at 85’, and Alexis Sánchez for Lucien Agoumé at 86’. Valencia recorded one assist, aligning with their late goal, and no penalties or injury-time goals beyond the equaliser were noted for either side.

The turning point came in the 58th minute when Valencia’s César Tárrega scored an own goal, handing Sevilla the lead and putting the hosts on the back foot after a cautious opening. Discipline issues mounted, with yellow cards for Valencia’s José Copete at 74’ and Thierry Correia at 87’, while Sevilla saw cautions for Peque Fernández at 23’, Matias Almeyda at 28’, César Azpilicueta at 75’, Nemanja Gudelj at 76’, Lucien Agoumé at 82’, Andrés López Gallo at 88’, and José Ángel Carmona at 90+5’. Valencia’s triple substitution at 63’ injected energy, setting up the dramatic equaliser.

Valencia snatched a point in the 90+3rd minute as Hugo Duro finished off an assist from Filip Ugrinic, underlining the impact of their bench changes. César Tárrega received a late yellow at 90+7’, compounding his earlier misfortune. These moments, including the own goal and stoppage-time strike, defined a match where neither side could fully assert control.

Valencia lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Hugo Duro leading the line and proving decisive in attack, while partnerships like José Gayà on the left flank provided width before his substitution for Jesús Vázquez. César Tárrega featured in defence but was unfortunate with his own goal, and midfielders such as André Almeida offered stability until Filip Ugrinic came on to assist the equaliser. Thierry Correia contributed at the back amid the team’s push for a late point.

Sevilla deployed a 5-4-1 shape, focusing on defensive solidity with players like Nemanja Gudelj anchoring the midfield and César Azpilicueta in the backline, though several yellow cards disrupted their rhythm. Peque Fernández started in attack before Joan Jordán replaced him, while Lucien Agoumé’s brief involvement ended with Alexis Sánchez coming on. The setup allowed for counter-attacks, benefiting from the own goal by César Tárrega.

Bwin’s Man of the Match was Hugo Duro, who stood out for Valencia with his crucial goal in stoppage time, despite recording no assists, big chances created, or key passes. His strike in the 90+3rd minute, assisted by Filip Ugrinic, rescued a point and highlighted his finishing ability under pressure. Duro’s contribution was pivotal in turning the game, even as the stats show a focused rather than expansive performance.
