Sevilla have begun their 2022/23 La Liga campaign in disappointing style after slipping to a 2-1 defeat away at Osasuna.

Julen Lopetegui’s side travelled north to face Osasuna in the eagerly anticipated season curtain raiser at the Estadio El Sadar.

However, it was to be the home side who started the brighter of the two sides, with Chimy Avila arriving at the back post to nod them in front after nine minutes.

Sevilla swiftly responded to falling behind, as Rafa Mir got across his marker to stab home from close range, less than 90 seconds later.

And the instant response from Rafa Mir to get Sevilla level!
