Sevilla beat Spartak Moscow 2-1 to avenge its demoralizing loss to the Russian club two weeks ago and move to second place in Group E of the Champions League on Wednesday.
After being thrashed 5-1 by Spartak in Moscow, Sevilla rebounded with a solid performance at home, winning comfortably with goals by Clement Lenglet in the first half and Ever Banega in the second. Ze Luis scored late for Spartak.
The result left the Spanish side with seven points from four matches, one point behind leader Liverpool and two in front of Spartak.
Maribor, which lost 3-0 to Liverpool in England in the other group match, stayed with one point, the New York Times reported.
The result extended Sevilla's unbeaten streak at home to 24 matches in all competitions, with 17 wins and seven draws. Sevilla hasn't lost at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium since going down 3-1 to Juventus in the Champions League almost a year ago.
Spartak was on a 13-match unbeaten streak in all competitions.
