However, in the 3rd minute, Rafa Mir opened the score 1-0 for Sevilla after a mistake in Real Madrid's defense and the slow pace of the match by coach Ancelotti's team.
It wasn't until the 29th minute that Real Madrid's efforts regained control of the game with a midfield of 5 including Modric, Tchouameni, Toni Kroos, Dani Ceballos and Federico Valverde. Thanks to that, Rodrygo had the opportunity to score the equalizer 1-1.
In the second half, Real Madrid continued to maintain this advantage, while Sevilla slowed down a bit with their minds focused on the Europa League final just a few days away. The opportunity came once again for Rodrygo with the second goal of the match scored in the 69th minute from an assist by Toni Kroos, thereby helping Real Madrid come back to win 2-1.
