  "account": "Sevilla secured a 1-0 victory over Valencia in La Liga on Friday, further exacerbating Valencia's plight at the bottom of the table. Midfielder Juan Iglesias scored the only goal in the 81st minute, marking Sevilla's second win in three matches. Valencia's season has been plagued with setbacks, including a humiliating 5-0 defeat against La Liga champions Barcelona last weekend. Barcelona midfielder Rodri had previously criticized Valencia as \"very weak\" in a video that sparked controversy and criticism from the Spanish press for being disrespectful. For Valencia, this marks over two decades since they last won a La Liga title and reached consecutive Champions League finals. Their form has been lackluster, with no European qualification in seven years.",
  "summary": "An 81st-minute strike from midfielder Juan Iglesias gave Sevilla a 1-0 victory over Valencia.",
