Real Madrid won their La Liga match on Sunday, beating Sevilla 1:0 at home. The match was decided by substitute Luka Modric. Until then, the Spanish league leader had been struggling, but it doesn’t matter, because it has an eight-point lead on second place.
Youssef En Nesyri sent the first shot of the match in the eighth minute, but it was very inaccurate and missed the target. Two minutes later, Lucas Vazquez rejoiced with the help of the left post on the other side, but the head referee, after seeing the replay, went back to the foul and called off the goal.
In the 21st minute, En Nesyri went down in the Real penalty area and wanted a penalty, but the head referee did not react. And Isaac Romeo demanded a penalty kick a quarter of an hour later, but Sevilla didn’t get one this time either and play continued.
The exhausted Real Madrid responded in the 37th minute, but Aurélien Tchouaméni only hit the defender in front of him. It was only in stoppage time that the visiting goalkeeper was in control, having to pull up against Federico Valverde.
So it was off to the booths after a boring game with no goals. After the change of sides, Real stepped up the pace. In the 49th minute, Valverde took a shot, but only hit the goalpost, specifically the right post.
Real Madrid put the ageless Modric out of his misery
Vinícius shot twice again in the next ten minutes, the first time missing, the second time heading into the middle of the goal. In the 81st minute, experience and quality made the difference. Luka Modric opened the scoring with a great shot.
Three minutes later Andriy Lunin intervened on the other side, the Ukrainian goalkeeper saved Romero. On the other side, Rodrygo and Vinícius fired within three minutes, the former missed the goal, the latter did not challenge goalkeeper Orjan Nyland.
The end of the match, including the eight-minute stoppage time, was already well covered by Real Madrid. They are eight points ahead of Barcelona at the top of the table, with Sevilla in 16th place, six points above the relegation zone.
