Real Madrid moved above Sevilla in the La Liga table thanks to late goals from midfield duo Casemiro and Luka Modric on Saturday.
Match Events
Late goals from Casemiro and Luka Modric clinched Real Madrid a 2-0 win over Sevilla at a sodden Santiago Bernabeu – a result that lifts Santiago Solari's side above their opponents in the LaLiga table.
Madrid appeared set to endure a frustrating afternoon in the Spanish capital, both Modric, who played over half of the contest with a nasty cut following a clash of heads with Franco Vazquez, and Dani Ceballos denied by the woodwork after the break.
However, Casemiro produced a sensational long-range strike in the 78th minute to help his team secure a 10th straight home league victory over Sevilla, who let slip their loose grasp of third place.
The Brazilian's curling attempt evaded Tomas Vaclik, the visiting goalkeeper only able to paw the ball into the top left corner of his net as Sevilla’s defence was finally breached in the face of a second-half onslaught from their opponents.
A wounded Modric added a second in stoppage time, converting a one-on-one opportunity as he curled his effort beyond the advancing Vaclik.
6' CHANCE! Vinicius' shot saved
Modric steals the ball in midfield and chips a pass over the top to Vinicius but the young Brazilian can only force a save from Vaclik.
67' NICE SHOT! Ceballos' shot off the bar
Ceballos cuts inside onto his right foot and fires a tremendous effort on goal that clatters back off the crossbar.
78' GOAL! Real Madrid 1-0 Sevilla (Casemiro)
Los Blancos finally get the breakthrough and it is an absolutely fantastic strike from Casemiro, who lets flight from audacious range and hammers past Vaclik, who gets a hand to it but cannot keep the ball out.
92' GOAL! Real Madrid 2-0 Sevilla (Modric)
Modric steals possession off Carrico and charges through on goal, stabbing an effort past Vaclik to put the icing on the cake.

Our best game of the season. We were superior in possession. Attacking hard in the transition . Kept Sevilla attackers at Bay. Scored a few goals without conceding. All players contributed in the attack. Nice counterattacks. We could have scored a couple of more goals the way we were attacking but this game could act as a moral booster.

The best performance from us this season without doubt. Intensity on point,pressure on point, it was only a matter of time before sevilla fold up and give in. There were one-two passes that weren't on point but we still got the win. This was a team effort! Everyone played their role perfectly and it paid off. Classy goal by casimero. Like the commentators were saying;" he bought the ticket and won the prize" Hala Madrid💯💯

Solari gaining trust of the Bernebeau. He's not afraid to drop the out of form stars and playing youngsters that are hungry for success. Madrid's midfield and defense is getting back to it's best . The only thing missing in the team is a world class striker. If we get that missing piece, we'll get back to our best. Happy with today's result. ¡HALA MADRID!

another matchday and another poor performance from Real Madrid, this Real Nadrid team doesn't scare any team like it did long time ago, they scored the second goal by individual mistake a land first goal by many shots outside the box, they really need a fox in the bod type of player.

After a long time saw a really dominant,confident Real Madrid.. Modric is awesome.. watta player he is..!!! Casemiro's shot was something really special.. but there are still places needed to be improved at the back.. and last but not the least.. vinicius is a uncut gem.. so skillful and eye soothing.. he's gonna have a great impact at Bernabeu someday..❤

my name is kassim kaba and I am from Liberia. I am not for an individual player on real Madrid, I am for the team I call real Madrid. my blood, my vain, my bone, my skin, my flesh, my intestines and what so ever on body is for real Madrid. this is why I do not have second choice or second team. you can win real Madrid many goals you can, I am for real. you can win real Madrid as many times can I am still for real Madrid, you can say any thing you want to say about real Madrid, they are still my heart beat. so, saying this is to tell you that no body or nothing can change my mind from loving real Madrid. Thank you for the victory today over cevila.
