Real Madrid moved above Sevilla in the LaLiga
table thanks to late goals from midfield duo
Casemiro and Luka Modric on Saturday.
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.
