The narrow victory gave Valencia another positive result, while Sevilla suffered yet another setback during a difficult period for the Spanish club.
Softfootball reports that Nigerian internationals Sadiq and Ejuke featured as Valencia secured the important three points on home soil.
Sadiq has been looking to make his mark since moving to Valencia, while Ejuke has also continued to provide an attacking option for the team.
Valencia did enough to secure the victory without allowing Sevilla to find an equaliser. The result will give the home side confidence as they continue their campaign.
For Sevilla, the defeat adds to their growing problems and extends their losing streak. The team will need to improve quickly if they are to finish the season strongly.
