The win came courtesy of a Javier Guerra strike in first-half stoppage time and followed the 2-1 win against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium last week.
However, the result in front of 46,000 fans at Mestalla Stadium was a bitter one for Sevilla, which in the first half had a goal disallowed and a penalty award rescinded after a video review.
"It's very easy to analyze the match," said Ørjan Nyland, Sevilla's Norwegian goalkeeper. "The disallowed goal should have given us the chance to go one-nil up. Then the uncalled penalty ends with a goal in our box. They scored despite doing very little in the first half, with the only chance they had. We have to score as well 바카라” we had opportunities to do so in the first half."
The result lifted Valencia one point above Sevilla, which has lost four games in a row.
