Real Madrid came off narrowly victorious at home to Sevilla by 1:0 in a match of the 26th round of the Spanish La Liga.
At the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid thought they had taken the lead in the tenth minute, but Lucas Vazquez's goal was disallowed by VAR. Carlo Ancelotti's graduates dominated the game but were never able to overcome the guard of the visitors Jorian Nyland. However, that changed nine minutes before the end of regular time, when Luka Modric, who came on shortly before from the bench, scored for the final 1:0. Until the end, Andalusians had no strength to answer and so Real achieved its 20th success since the beginning of the season in the championship.
The Whites are eight points clear of second-placed Barcelona, but the champions could be upstaged by Girona, who host Rayo Vallecano tonight. Sevilla is in 15th position with 24 points, six away from the danger zone.
In the next round, the team hosts Real Sociedad, while Real will face Valencia. /BGNES
