51'

Lopez with a decent stop at the other end seconds before that counter attack. A bit more breathing space then for the home side.

50'

GOAL! Benzema break from one end to the other to hand his side a 4-2 lead. Brilliant finish. Ronaldo to Bale and he provides the cross for the finish.

49'

Álvaro Arbeloa taking up some good positions out wide. Looking to stay involved out wide as much as possible.

48'

Beto off his line to collect a cross at the other end. This match so, so finely poised.

47'

Bacca drills an effort straight into the arms of Diego Lopez from distance. Decent start to the second half by Sevilla.

46'

We are off and running then in the second period of this match.

45+1'

There goes the whistle for the break! A 3-2 lead for Real Madrid at the break. All to play for in the second period.

44'

One minute to be added to this first period.

43'

Five goals, two contentious penalties and two bookings. This has been value for money in the first half.

42'

Vitolo with a pass through the middle, but Real working back to snuff out the danger.

41'

Ivan Rakitic smashes a shot over the bar from around 22 yards. Bale dashes forward, but caught a few yards offside.

Great piece of play by Marcelo to break up the play from deep. Sevilla taking their time moving forward.

39'

Real looking to break again from deep. Marcelo with the cutback, but can't find a companion and Real Madrid have a corner here.

38'

Didn't see this recovery coming it must be said. Real looked out of sight, but the lead cut to 3-2.

37'

GOAL! Bacca nets for Sevilla from close range. And suddenly this match is back on. Jairo Samperio with the pass for Bacca. Suddenly 3-2.

36'

GOAL! Ivan Rakitic drives the penalty low and hard into the corner of the net. Lopez guessed right, but couldn't get there. A 3-1 lead for the home side.

35'

Softish decision, but the referee decides it was as much of a penalty as the one at the other end. Chance for Sevilla to get themselves on the board.

34'

PENALTY TO SEVILLA! Ramos with a late push on the back of Figueiras. Referee waited before awarding the penalty.

33'

Ivan Rakitic scampers into the heart of the opposition box, but he ends up lifting a shot wide of the target. Chance to claw one back for Sevilla.

32'

Second-placed Atletico will be back to one point behind leaders Barca if they win at Granada on Thursday evening.

31'

A nice piece of theatre after Ronaldo slotted that penalty. Decent celebrations. Real Madrid surely out of sight now.
