5-star Getafe hammers Sevilla

SEVILLA'S hopes of a place in European competition next season suffered a blow when they let slip a one-goal lead to lose 5-1 at Getafe in La Liga on Monday.

Sevilla, which had won four of its last five matches to close to within a point of sixth place and the Europa League slots, took the lead at the Coliseum with a stunning strike from Alvaro Negredo in the 19th minute.

Pedros Rios engineered the turnaround, however, having a hand in four of Getafe's five goals, scoring one himself and laying on two for Miku and one for Miguel Torres.

Getafe and Sevilla are among five clubs on 45 points, one fewer than sixth-place Osasuna in the final Europa League qualifying place.
