A fourth LaLiga game without a win looks to have ended Sevilla's title hopes, with Sporting Gijon the latest side to frustrate them.
Sevilla lost further ground in the race for the LaLiga title as they had to settle for a 0-0 draw with relegation-threatened Sporting Gijon at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday.
Jorge Sampaoli's men had collected just two points from their last three games and knew they could not afford to slip up again in order to keep their championship hopes alive.
There were early chances for the hosts as they went in search of their first win since March 2, but goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar did well to keep out Samir Nasri's low shot from inside the area and a long-range strike from Joaquin Correa.
