FC Sevilla messed up the start of the season in the Spanish La Liga and started the season with an away defeat.
FC Sevilla, fourth in the previous year, lost the opening game at outsiders CA Osasuna 1-2 (1-1).
Argentina’s Ezequiel Avila gave Osasuna an early lead with a header (9′). The answer from the Champions League participants was not long in coming: just 109 seconds after the deficit, Rafa Mir pushed in to equalize after a pass from Alejandro Gomez (11th).
In a balanced game, Sevilla had a lot more possession, but the hosts had the better chances. Aimar Oroz finally scored the decisive goal with a penalty kick (74th).
