Rodrygo enhances Real Madrid's chances of winning
Rodrigo scored two goals to lead Real Madrid to turn a 2-1 deficit at its host, Seville, who completed the match with ten players, to consolidate its position in second place in the Spanish Football League.
Rafa Mir gave the Andalusian team, who will face Roma in the Europa League final, the lead after three minutes. The Brazilian winger responded with a stunning free-kick, and the visitors equalized just before the half-hour mark.
In the absence of Vinicius Jr. due to injury, after he was subjected to racist abuse in Valencia earlier this month, and Karim Benzema, Rodrygo played the role of hero, scoring the winning goal in the 69th minute. Sevilla, in 10th place, had all hopes of a draw collapsed after defender Marcos Ocnia was sent off in the 83rd minute.
