Seville 1 - 1 Deportivo Alavés
The 6:30 pm block was going to bring a double commitment in La Liga, as Seville and Deportivo Alavés were going to face each other at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, while Villarreal and Osasuna were going to do the same at La Cerámica. The Seville team had suffered a tough emotional blow in the Copa del Rey, as Mirandés knocked them out in the Round of 16 on Thursday, January 30. On the other hand, the Babazorros aimed to take advantage of the possible doubts of the hosts, all in order to distance themselves even further from the relegation zone in the table.
After a somewhat uneventful first half, José Luis Sanmartín Mato, better known in the sports world as Joselu, silenced the Andalusian crowd completely by finding the back of the net defended by Tomáš Vaclík (0 - 1). Despite this, Sevilla showed determination and courage to not lose sight of the match, which led to Lucas Ocampos restoring parity with calmness by converting a penalty kick (1 - 1). With this draw, Sevilla reaches 39 points (level with Getafe), while Alavés rises to 24 points on their tally.
