Brazilian star Rafinha led his Barcelona team to achieve a valuable victory outside its home base at the expense of Sevilla with a score of 3-1, scoring the “Blaugrana” team’s three “hat-trick” goals, so that the Catalan team continued its series of victories and achieved its seventh successive victory in the Spanish Football League Championship.
The hosts opened the scoring early through player Youssef Fofana in the 19th minute, benefiting from a decisive pass from his teammate Fabio Correa, but Barcelona responded quickly when Rafinha equalized after only three minutes with a pass from Andreas Christensen.
In the second half, the Catalan club imposed complete control over the course of the game, as Rafinha added the second goal in the 52nd minute, assisted by the young Lamine Yamal, before the same player returned to complete his personal hat-trick in the 69th minute following a new decisive pass from Yamal.
In the 59th minute, defender Andreas Christensen was injured, forcing the technical staff to remove him and bring in his colleague Gerard Martin instead.
With these results, Barcelona’s lead raised the team’s tally to 21 points, achieving the full mark after seven rounds, while Sevilla’s tally stopped at 13 points, temporarily occupying fifth place in the table.
