31'

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

30'

GOAL! Ronaldo slams the penalty to the left of Beto. No chance for the goalkeeper. Too much pace on the penalty. A 16th goal of the season for Ronaldo.

29'

PENALTY TO REAL MADRID! Navarro late on Isco. Looked to be outside of the box, but referee opts for the spot-kick.

28'

Some superb driving play by Isco into the heart of the opposition box, but Sevilla manage to weather the storm there.

27'

Looks like Real Madrid will be back to six points behind leaders Barcelona after this evening is out. How many is Bale going to get?

26'

Came off the head of Moreno. Not sure if that will go down as his goal or an own goal. A 2-0 lead for Real.

25'

GOAL! Bale sees the free-kick deflect off the Sevilla wall before dropping in the Sevilla net as Beto headed in the other direction. Fortunate, but they all count.

24'

Ronaldo taken out of the action late by Navarro. Ronaldo far from happy with his treatment here. Free-kick chance from 30 yards out.

23'

Isco picks out Varane before the ball makes its way out to Arbeloa. Real continue to be patient.

22'

Sevilla look quite dangerous on these raids on the Real goal, but they can't get on the ball with any regularity.

21'

Moreno leans back to lift a shot a few yards over the bar from the edge of the Real Madrid box.

20'

Decent break up the park at the other end by Sevilla before Real break up the park. Earn a free-kick, but Ronaldo's free-kick can't beat the wall on that occasion.

19'

Bale thumps a shot a few yards over the bar. Stunning stuff from Bale in this match. Could have had a hat-trick by now.

18'

Ronaldo on the move for Real. Twists and turns but can only knock the ball into the arms of Beto in the visiting goal.

17'

Bale looks like he has been playing in this environment all his days rather than just his first appearance. No hint of an injury this evening.

16'

Another effort from Bale. Lovely pass from Benzema, but Beto dives to make a fine stop. Brilliant movement from Real Madrid, it must be said.

15'

Benzema showing off some terrific touches and skills. Bale also growing in confidence here.

14'

Bale picks out Ronaldo with a decent pass. Real continue to push and probe looking to keep the ball with some relish.

13'

GOAL! Bale smashes the shot high into the net with his left foot. Brilliant finish from the world's most expensive player. Lovely pass from Benzema. Real Madrid lead 1-0.

12'

M'Bia tries an effort at goal, but can only smash the ball straight into a white shirt. Real look to break here.

11'

Goakick to Sevilla that Beto will thump long down the park. Real quick to retrieve the ball.
