Sevilla suffered a 3-0 loss to bottom-of-the-table Levante in LaLiga on Sunday, in a match that could have turned on a luxurious assist from Alexis Sánchez. In the 30th minute, with the score 0-0, the Chilean delivered a backheel pass to Oso for a goal disallowed due to a prior offside. The play showcased Sánchez's skill, but it couldn't prevent the team's third straight defeat.
The LaLiga clash between Sevilla and Levante, played on Sunday, ended in a decisive 3-0 victory for the visitors. Levante, arriving as the absolute bottom team in the league, dealt a heavy blow to Sevilla, which now has 20 points in 18 matches and is enduring its third consecutive game without a win.
The pivotal moment came in the 30th minute, with the score still tied at 0-0. Alexis Sánchez, the Chilean forward for Sevilla, starred in a spectacular play by delivering a backheel assist to teammate Oso, who scored. However, the referee disallowed the goal due to a prior offside position in the build-up.
ESPN highlighted the action enthusiastically: “No puede ser, Alexis! It was the assist of the year! The Chilean star shone with a SENSATIONAL backheel for Oso's goal, but it was all annulled by a previous offside.” This play underscored Sánchez's potential to change the game's course, but Sevilla couldn't capitalize on other chances and was ultimately overwhelmed by Levante's goals.
The outcome worsens Sevilla's standing in the table and adds pressure on coach Matías Almeyda. Despite Sánchez's effort, the Chilean player's drive wasn't enough to overcome the modest Levante's dominance.
