Alaves and Sevilla have made winning starts to the 2026/27 La Liga season. In Vitoria, Alaves defeated 10-man Getafe 3-0. Getafe's Kiko Femenia was sent off in the first half, and Alaves capitalized with goals from Nahuel Tenaglia, Mariano, and Mikel Rodriguez. In the other match, Sevilla snatched a late 2-1 win against Rayo Vallecano. Rayo took an early lead, but Sevilla equalized through Jon Guridi's penalty. Despite playing with 10 men in the final minutes, Sevilla secured victory with a late penalty converted by Peque.
The opening weekend of La Liga continues with several key matches. On Sunday, Villarreal will visit promoted side Racing Santander. Atletico Madrid will start their season at home against Malaga on Wednesday. Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid are not in action until next weekend, visiting Espanyol on August 22, while champions Barcelona travel to face Elche on August 23.
