Moroccan goalkeeper Bunú returned to the Seville goal after recovery and significantly signed under the decisive moment. After 55 minutes, Ferland Mendyho came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to put away the 1 – 0 goal, giving Vinícius Júnior the lead. He thus became the first goalkeeper of the Andalusian team in this century to score his own goal in the league.
“We scored three important and well-deserved points against a top opponent, but the most important thing is the performance. We played great from the first to the last minute, even though we survived dangerous situations in the second half,” said Real coach Zinédine Zidane, who the team has recently faced criticism, especially after the defeats of Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. “The last few days have been difficult, but this team has character and loves challenges. If we don’t play well, there is always criticism, we won’t do anything about it,” added the 1998 French world champion.
Sevilla lost a five-match series of competition prizes, but still holds the cup. The “White Ballet” won in La Liga after three matches, but continues to lose six points to leading rival Atlético.

After the championship Real Madrid, Cádiz also defeated the second team of last year’s La Liga. Thanks to Pedro Alcala’s own goal, the Catalans were able to respond to Álvaro Gimenéz’s goal, but the newcomer still pulled the victory to his side. With 63 minutes played, Negredo nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. The former gunner of Manchester City or Seville is experiencing a successful return to the Spanish league at the age of 35, adding the same number of goals to the three assists so far.
Cadiz won after three matches and is fifth. Barcelona has not won outside for the fourth time in a row, losing 12 points to seventh place at Atlético.
Coach Diego Simeone’s charges confirmed the role of the favorite at their stadium, although they only prevailed against Valladolid after a break thanks to Thomas Lemar and Marcos Llorente. Atlético, as the second team in history, collected only two goals in the first ten matches of the season and moved two points ahead of the still leading San Sebastian. In addition, the new leader has less of the match compared to all his closest competitors.
