Real Madrid vs Sevilla, Live Score and Commentary, La Liga 2016-17

FT: Real Madrid 4-1 Sevilla FT

The scoreline was harsh on Sevilla, but they faded badly at the end as Real Madrid's juggernaut marches on. Nacho's opener will still be the subject of controversy, but Ronaldo's brace and Kroos' late goal ensured that it will remain a moot point.

With Barcelona winning, this was a superb win for a rotated side as Real Madrid remain with the advantage going into the final games.

90+2' Ronaldo nearly finds the net with a cheeky backheel from Lucas' cross but Sevilla get their blocks in.

90' 2 minutes of injury time

ALL TIME RECORD!!! Cristiano Ronaldo equals Jimmy Greaves as the player with most goals in the top 5 European leagues (366 goals each)

89' Correa is replaced by Diego Gonzalez

87' WHAT A CHANCE! WHAT A MOVE! After what seems like 30 passes in the build up, Kroos sends Lucas clear down the left wing, and he cuts the ball back for Asensio in the middle, whose shot goes straight into Rico's hands...

As things stand, Barcelona and Real Madrid are level on 87 points, with Los Blancos having a game in hand!

86' Oles ring out at the Bernabeu as Real Madrid pass the ball around at the back, with Sevilla chasing shadows. The final whistle cannot come soon enough for the Andalusians...

84' WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FINISH FROM THE GERMAN! Nacho sends in a low cross from the left byline and Kroos gets ahead of his marker in the box to finish with the outside of his boot into the opposite bottom corner. What a goal! Real Madrid 4-1 Sevilla! Game over now!

84' GOOOAL TONI KROOOOS!

83' Lucas goes into the book for a late challenge. The Bernabeu whistles in displeasure!

82' CHANCE! Lucas Vazques sends a presentable chance from the right side of the box well over the bar.

This season is officially Real Madrid's 2nd highest scoring season in the club's history [162 goals, tied with 2014/15].

80' Nacho and Correa go into the book as they take turns shoving each other after the Sevilla man shoves him from behind. It means Nacho will be suspended for the next game!

78' WHAT A GOAL FROM CRISTIANO RONALDOOOO!! Kroos is sent down the left wing and he cuts the ball back to Ronaldo in the box, and he hammers an accurate shot with his weaker left foot straight into the top corner. Magnificent! Real Madrid 3-1 Sevilla!

78' GOOOOAL CRISTIANO RONALDOOO!!!!

76' Casemiro's introduction has really changed the game - Sevilla have been unable to pierce through the middle of Madrid's midfield and consequently, the last 15 minutes have been relatively calm for Zinedine Zidane's side.

74' Ronaldo is fouled by Daniel Carrico and Real Madrid have a free-kick on the edge of the box from the right. Toni Kroos is standing over the ball.... and Ramos gets his head to the delivery but Sevilla get their blocks in at the far post, with Lenglet clearing the ball.

73' They cannot - as Correa recycles the ball from the initial kick into the box and then sends in a low cross into the corridor of uncertainty, only for Navas to claim the ball and ease the pressure on his defenders.

73' Vitolo earns a corner of Danilo - can they rouse themselves for the equalizer?

72' Barcelona have scored their 4th, with Neymar completing his hat-trick. Over here in Madrid, Luka Modric comes on to replace fellow Croat, Mateo Kovacic

70' Lucas Vazquez does well to earn a corner, with Kroos's delivery causing all sorts of chaos as Sevilla struggle to clear after a spell of head-tennis. The ball falls kindly to Ramos in the box, but his miskicks and allows the Andalusians to clear the ball out of danger.

67' Sevilla pass the ball in midfield to plenty of whistles from the Bernabeu, who've taken offence to a couple of refereeing decisions of late.

In other news, Neymar has scored for Barcelona to make it a 3-1 lead against Las Palmas.

66' SHOT! Ronaldo hammers his free-kick from a narrow angle to the far corner, but Rico palms the swerving strike well away from goal.

65' Clement Lenglet goes into the book for kicking the ball away when the referee blew for a foul on Asensio. Foolish from the French youngster, with Ronaldo taking the free kick.

63' It's all gone a bit flat as Real Madrid slow the game down in midfield, as they adjust to the rejigged formation. Jovetic, the impatient one, clatters into Nacho to concede a free kick.

Meanwhile, interesting news from the Canary Islands, where Las Palmas have grabbed a goal back against Barcelona, with Pedro Bigas scoring.

60' James Rodriguez takes a long time to applaud the Bernabeu as he comes off - is that goodbye? Casemiro comes on to replace him.
Morata also comes off to be replaced by Lucas Vazquez, as Madrid chance to a 4-3-3.

58' Sevilla turn up the pressure as Ramos concedes a corner. Can the Andalusians score a goal and damage Madrid's title hopes?

Since joining Sevilla, 50% of Stevan Jovetic's goals have come against Real Madrid. 12th January, 15th January & 14th May

56' Morata goes into the book for yelling at the referee. It's not been his day, to be honest.

55' Oooh! Almost a lovely move from Real Madrid! Ronaldo sends Asensio through on the left wing with a lovely disguised reverse pass, and Asensio attempts to find Ramos in space at the far post, but his cross is overhit.

53' WHAT A CHANCE! Asensio leads a counter attack, spreading the ball to Ronaldo in the middle. The Portuguese star produces a superb first time through ball that sends James through on the right side of the box, but instead of shooting with his weaker right foot, he cuts back on his left, allowing the defender to run back and clear the ball off his toes.

51' Ooooh! Danilo surges forward on the right wing and bursts into the box, although his final pass is miscued and Carrico clears it out of danger.

49' A LOVELY GOAL FROM SEVILLA - Vitolo and N'Zonzi exchange swift passes in the centre, before the former lays the ball off for Jovetic on the edge of the box, and he curls a low shot into the bottom corner, leaving Navas no chance! Real Madrid 2-1 Sevilla

49' GOOOOAL STEFAN JOVETIC!

48' Stick to the day job, Alvaro....

The Real Madrid striker cuts inside from the left wing and attempts to send a cross, but his delivery is awfully overhit and goes out for a goal kick to audible groans from the Bernabeu.

47' An early foul as Mercado takes out Ronaldo with an uncultured shove from behind. Real Madrid take it short and promptly lose possession.

46' AND WE'RE OFF! Real Madrid get us underway in the second half!

HT: Sevilla make a change as Walter Montoya comes on to replace Nico Pareja - an attacking move by Sampaoli as Sevilla switch to a back three.

The second half is minutes away, as the players gradually make their way back out onto the pitch - Stay tuned!

And just to reiterate that we've witnessed history with both goals tonight. Nacho's goal took Real Madrid's incredible scoring streak to 62 consecutive games - the first club to ever do so. Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was his 400th official goal for Real Madrid.

HT: Real Madrid 2-0 Sevilla

44' Jorge Sampaoli screams on the touchlines as he motivates his players to show more effort - I can hardly fault the Sevilla players here - they've been superb, apart from the moments when Madrid scored their goals.

42' Real Madrid still look nervous at the back as Sevilla dominate an open midfield - Kovacic looks half the player Casemiro is - which isn't saying much.

39' WHAT A SAVE! Jovetic exchanges an incredible 1-2 on the edge of the box with Correa and bursts through on goal, but Navas charges out to deny the Sevilla striker with a point-blank save! Excellent from the Madrid keeper!

38' Danilo goes into a book for a foul from behind on Vitolo. Sevilla have a free-kick in a promising position on the wings.

37' Sevilla have outpassed Real Madrid today - they certainly do not deserve to be 2-0 down - but that is what Real Madrid do - they're incredibly efficient in attack, whereas Sevilla have spurned chances.

34' Sevilla earn themselves another corner - they are firmly on top at the moment, with Real Madrid facing an onslaught of red shirts at the moment. However, the visitors make a mess of their set-piece and Real Madrid regain possession.

31' WHAT A SAVE! WHAT A CHANCE! Corres is sent through on goal on the right wing and his effort on goal is saved by Navas as Jovetic stands disgusted in the centre facing an open goal.

Moments later, Vitolo sends a beautiful pass to Jovetic in space in the box, and he sends an incredible chip over Navas but watches in agony as it cannons off the crossbar, with Madrid clearing the danger.

30' James surprises the Bernabeu by taking the free-kick, but overhits his effort to the far post, as Sevilla breathe a sigh of relief as the ball bounces out of play. Replays show that Mercado had a handful of Ronaldo's shirt as the delivery came in....

29' Asensio with an incredible backheel flick sends Danilo through on the right wing and Krohn-Dehli concedes a free-kick in a promising position - with Toni Kroos set to take it...
