Last-gasp goal seals fourth for Sevilla

It was a crushing blow for Real Mallorca who had their hopes dashed as they waited on the pitch at their Ono Estadi to hear the result, having beaten Espanyol 2-0 minutes earlier.

Sevilla finished the campaign on 63 points to reach the Champions League preliminary round. Mallorca ended up fifth on 62 points to go into next season's Europa League.

Victor fired Mallorca ahead after 23 minutes but their joy was short lived as Almeria's Chico diverted the ball into his own net to put Sevilla 2-1 up early in the second half.

The drama cranked up when Sevilla had Alvaro Negredo sent off and then Mario Suarez netted Mallorca's second in the 78th minute.

Sevilla's staff and players, and some fans, sprinted on to the pitch to celebrate and there were a few confrontations before order was restored and the game was able to finish.

Facing a weakened side who seemed more interested in next week's King's Cup final against Sevilla, Soldado rattled in two goals to take his tally for the season to 16 before Dani Parejo raced away to net a third at the end.
