Rafa Mir overtakes Sevilla with a head

Sevilla hit first at the Santiago Bernabéu thanks to a header from Rafa Mir at the start of a corner kick in the 12th minute. The Cartagena striker finished off completely alone in the heart of the area after a great cross from Acuña’s right .

Lopetegui’s team has started much better than Madrid, both in attack and defense, and it has made them pay in the first clear chance they have had. The facilities that the white box has left have been key for Mir to finish totally alone.

A few minutes later, Sevilla have enjoyed a very clear double chance to increase their advantage on the scoreboard. Alaba has taken a ball out from under the sticks and, just in the rebound, Madrid has not known how to remove the leather, which has fallen on Mir’s feet completely alone. The attacker has forgiven his second goal and has run into a providential Courtois to avoid the 0-2.
