James Rodríguez boosts Real Madrid against Sevilla but then limps off | |
(4 months later) | |
James Rodríguez headed the opener before going off injured in Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory over Sevilla which extended their lead at the top of La Liga to four points. | |
Real face Atlético on Saturday with three more points but they came at a cost with Sergio Ramos as well as Rodríguez going off injured in the first half. | |
Marcelo will definitely miss the next game through suspension after picking up a yellow card but they will have Cristiano Ronaldo back after completing a ban. | |
Rodriguez nodded home from a Marcelo cross after 12 minutes in a copy of the goal the Colombia forward scored last weekend against Real Sociedad. | |
Sevilla caused plenty of problems for the Real rearguard, especially in the first half, and Vicente Iborra hit a post having been played in by Vitolo. | |

They had injury concerns of their own as the goalkeeper Beto went off on the half hour after a collision with Karim Benzema. | |
Jese, who had come on for Rodríguez, combined with Benzema and Isco before slotting the ball home for Real’s second, 10 minutes before the interval. | |
The substitute Iago Aspas continued his recent hot streak in front of goal with a goal for Sevilla from close range after 80 minutes but it was only to be a consolation. | |
Real lead the standings by four points from Barcelona with Atlético seven points adrift, after 21 games. |
