  "account": "Sevilla secured a 1-0 victory over Valencia in La Liga on Friday, further cementing the latter's position at the bottom of the table. Midfielder Juan Iglesias scored the only goal in the 81st minute, marking Sevilla's fourth consecutive defeat this season. Valencia's struggles were compounded by Barcelona midfielder Rodri's disparaging comments about the Spanish champions during their 5-0 defeat against them last weekend. The Spanish press accused Rodri of being disrespectful, although broadcaster Movistar used a lip-reader to clarify his remarks to teammates Pau Cubarsi and Raphinha. Valencia has not won the La Liga title in over 20 years and has not qualified for the Champions League in seven years.",
  "summary": "An 81st-minute strike from midfielder Juan Iglesias gave Sevilla a 1-0 victory over Valencia.",
