Tehran 19 January_Real Madrid have climbed to the La Liga Summit after sealing a narrow 2-1 victory over 4th-placed Sevilla at the Bernabeu.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)-Real lacked Incision in front of goal in the 1st half, but it changed just prior to the hour mark, when Casemiro lifted the ball over the keeper from a tight angle, after a neat one-two with Luka Jovic.
The hosts were not in front for long, as 7 minutes later, De Jong whipped a low strike into the bottom corner.
However, parity was shorter-lived, as Casemiro took full advantage of the space given to him in the area, by heading home his 2nd of the night in the 69th minute.
The win takes Real Madrid 3 points Clear of Barcelona, who host Granada on Sunday.
