SEVILLA missed the chance to climb above Real Mallorca into Spain's fourth Champions League qualification berth when it conceded a penalty in added time to lose 3-4 at Getafe in a dramatic La Liga match on Sunday.
Substitute Daniel Parejo tore off his shirt and ran to the corner flag to celebrate after netting his spot kick but the referee made him take it again as a teammate had encroached into the area. He made no mistake with his second effort and the Getafe fans celebrated wildly at the final whistle as the disconsolate Sevilla players trudged off.
Mallorca had to come from a goal down to rescue a point at home to 10-man Malaga but Sevilla failed to take advantage and stayed fifth on 54 points with four matches left.
The Balearic Islanders have 56 in fourth, six behind third-placed Valencia, which beat Deportivo Coruna 1-0 on Saturday thanks to David Villa's penalty.
Getafe climbed to seventh on 50, one ahead of Athletic Bilbao, and two behind Villarreal, which recorded a 2-1 comeback victory at Racing Santander.
The top two also won on Saturday - leader Barcelona beating basement side Xerez 3-1 at the Nou Camp, and Kaka netting a late winner for Real Madrid in a 2-1 win at Real Zaragoza. Barcelona has 87 points and Real 86.
Adrian Gonzalez, son of Getafe coach Michel, put his father's side in front at the Coliseum in the 17th minute before goals from strikers Luis Fabiano and Frederic Kanoute fired Sevilla ahead.
Pedro Leon levelled for Getafe in the 59th but the visitors edged in front again two minutes later when Fabiano, who should lead the lineup for Brazil at the World Cup, bamboozled the Getafe defense and lashed home.
Kanoute was dismissed for a harsh second booking and the match looked to be heading for a draw until substitute Lolo chopped Parejo down in added time after a mistake by Alvaro Negredo.
In other matches on Sunday, Atletico Madrid warmed up for Thursday's Europa League semifinal second leg at Liverpool with a 3-1 home win over relegation-threatened Tenerife.
