JAKARTA - Karim Benzema once again is a Real Madrid hero. This French player contributed to the goal that brought Los Blancos to victory over Sevilla in the Spanish La Liga continued, Monday, April 18 morning of Indonesian Time (WIB).

Had missed two goals, Real Madrid finally closed the game with a 3-2 victory. This victory is getting closer to ensuring they win La Liga.

Three second-half goals from Rodrygo, Nacho Fernandez and Benzema in the 92nd minute saw Madrid extend their lead to 15 points over their rivals with six games remaining.

Ivan Rakitic put Sevilla ahead in the 25th minute after curling a free-kick after Luka Modric had brought down Papu Gomez.

Four minutes later Erik Lamela doubled the lead by scoring after Tecatito had caught Thibaut Courtois' attention and left the net wide open.

But Vinicius' superb backheel for Dani Carvajal allowed Rodrygo to pull one back in the 50th minute.

Vinicius thought he had equalized 2-2 in the 74th minute but the goal was ruled out as the referee ruled the Brazilian controlled the ball with his arm, not his chest.

Madrid were unaffected when Rakitic latched on to a corner with a header that finally saw Nacho Fernandez finish with a goal.

Then in the 92nd minute, Benzema completed the revival of Madrid. This was Benzema's 44th goal in 46 appearances this season, as reported by Antara.
