Sevilla rescued a 2-2 draw against Elche in a match from the 20th round of La Liga. The game, which took place at the Martínez Valero stadium, seemed destined for the home team but ended dramatically, with Akor Adams as the absolute protagonist thanks to a brace that saved the Seville side. The team led by Eder Sarabia struck first and went into the break ahead 1-0 thanks to Aleix Febas's goal in the 13th minute, a precise finish to the near post after a one-two with Neto. Sevilla had moments of dominance and accumulated chances, but they were thwarted by a decisive Iñaki Peña, while on the other side, Vlachodimos also made key interventions to keep the score close. In the second half, Elche extended their lead to 2-0 in the 10th minute through German Valera, who appeared from a corner and unleashed a powerful first-time strike with his left foot to stretch the difference. With that lead, the home side appeared to control the tempo and even had chances to seal the victory, though Sevilla continued to press and used their bench to spark a reaction. The visitors' comeback began to take shape in the 30th minute when Adams poked the ball in to make it 2-1, adding suspense to the closing stages. In stoppage time, referee De Burgos awarded a penalty for a handball by Álvaro Rodríguez inside the area, and in the 47th minute, the Nigerian striker converted it to seal the definitive 2-2 scoreline in a heart-stopping finale. With this result, Elche is eighth with 24 points, while Sevilla remains 14th with 21 points.
