Sevilla hit 13 points early: fewer mistakes and zero penalties so far

After the first seven matchdays, Sevilla are on 13 points and have already navigated two top-level fixtures against Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona. MARCA’s takeaway is that the improvement isn’t just about tactics: it’s the sharp drop in individual errors that had been hurting the team in previous seasons.

Fewer mistakes, more control

Based on MARCA’s figures and LaLiga Beyond Stats, Sevilla are the third side with the fewest errors that turn into shots on target (4). In 2025-26 they were the third-worst in the same category (35).

There’s also a clear change in the box. In these first seven league games this season, Sevilla haven’t been penalised by a single opponent’s penalty. Last year they averaged 0.3 penalties per match—two conceded.

Strong finishes from the 80th minute

From the 80th minute onwards, Sevilla’s record is three goals for and one against. In that window they’ve collected four key points thanks to wins over Rayo Vallecano and Valencia. In 2025-26, they scored twice and conceded twice, taking just one point in the same phase.
