La Liga: Real Madrid blow chance to go top of table, settle for home draw vs. Sevilla.ZIPFO
It was ready up perfectly for Real Madrid on Sunday, needing a win against fourth-place Sevilla to leap to the highest of the table in La Liga over city rival Atletico Madrid. With just three matches remaining after this one, there was no margin for error in facing former manager Julen Lopetegui if Zinedine Zidane and his crew were getting to control their own destiny in La Liga. But despite dominating the ball, the probabilities and most aspects of the sport , they couldn't catch on done. Real Madrid were nearly stunned reception against Sevilla, needing a goal in added time to earn a 2-2 draw.
An Ivan Rakitic penalty kick within the 78th minute looked likely to offer Sevilla the win late until Real's added time magic. But how Sevilla took the lead was even crazier. At 1-1 within the 75th minute, Real got a penalty kick for a foul on Karim Benzema, but it ended with Sevilla actually getting a penalty kick for a play that happened before Benzema went down. The ball hit Real defender Eder Militao's arm with VAR awarding a penalty after the very fact .
An goal from Diego Carlos within the fourth minute of added time brought it level at 2-2, and Real almost won it on an attempt from Casemiro within the final minute as his low effort went just past the proper post. Here's the late equalizer for Los Blancos:
some extent within the end puts Real back to second place, but still sit two points behind leaders Atletico. To win the league, they'll got to earn two more points than Atleti the remainder of the way, as they currently have the head-to-head tiebreaker over Los Colchoneros.
