De Jong isn't happy about the result and takes his frustration out on the referee who shows him a yellow card after the full-time whistle has gone!
90' +4
FULL-TIME: SEVILLA 0-1 REAL MADRID.
90' +3
Madrid are still on the attack though, Benzema with the ball out on the left and he feeds Bale, who uses his quick feet to beat his marker, but his shot hits the side-netting.
90' +2
We're into four minutes of added time and Madrid are pulling every trick possible to slow play down - their players are dropping like flies! The referee isn't having any of it and waves Benzema - the latest player to go down injured - back onto his feet.
90'
Lucas Vázquez enters the game and replaces E. Hazard.
That's Hazard's final contribution as he's taken off for Vazquez.
89'
It's scrappy at the moment and Bale takes advantage of a loose ball with a dinked throughball into Hazard, but his touch lets him down despite being in acres of space, giving Carlos time to recover and make a challenge.
81'
Nolito enters the game and replaces Daniel Carriço.
Lopetegui makes one final roll of the dice by taking off a centre-back in Carrico for Nolito.
80'
Navas with some space out on the right to take on Mendy one-on-one, but he's forced backwards. Solid defending from the left-back to not concede a foul or give up any ground.
78'
Ocampos with another cross from the byline into De Jong - he's completely free in the middle of the box but heads wide! That's a chance he really should be hitting the target from.
76'
F. Valverde enters the game and replaces J. Rodríguez.
Zinedine Zidane makes his first change, introducing Valverde for James to help regain control of the midfield.
Minute
Description
75'
Ocampos wins possession off Mendy and manages to get away, but a slight tug on the arm from Ramos prevents him reaching the ball before it goes out for a goal-kick - the referee doesn't spot it either!
73'
Excellent defending from Ramos while under pressure from Ocampos - he uses his body, stays strong and wins a throw to try and get his side up the pitch and out of trouble. What a difference he's made on his return to the side.
71'
Sevilla have a half-chance here as De Jong leaps high in the box and gets his head to a cross, but it takes a deflection and rolls just wide for a corner!
69'
J. Hernández enters the game and replaces Joan Jordán.
CHANCE! Ocampos has a decent opportunity to level the scores unmarked in the centre of the box - but he volleys into the ground and over the bar!
Lopetegui makes another change, taking off Jordan and adding another forward in Hernandez.
68'
Here come Madrid again, Bale picking out Hazard with a switch of play. They work it wide back to Bale and he tries to drive into the box, but he's met by a strong defence and loses out.
64'
K. Benzema has scored a goal for Real Madrid! Assist by Dani Carvajal.
Now that's how to cross! Carvajal sets an example for Sevilla by creating an excellent chance from a cross.
GOAAAAL! 1-0 MADRID! Los Blancos finally come alive! Madrid keep the pressure up and work the ball wide to Bale, who slips in Carvajal to stick it up for Benzema at the far post - and the Frenchman makes no mistake with his free header.
62'
Sergio Ramos gets yellow.
Ocampos tries to use his speed to get round Ramos out on the far side of the pitch and the centre-back puts his body between the ball and his opponent, picking up a yellow in the process.
61'
Great play from Torres to win the ball back off Madrid in a dangerous position, but his attempted throughball is blocked - that's the right idea though!
57'
Here's Ocampos out on the right, this time with a low cross, but it's not powerful enough to cause a problem and Ramos gets it away easily.
55'
It's clear what Sevilla are trying to do for the most part - play into De Jong up front and utilise his height. But up against Ramos and Varane, it's debatable whether that's really the best method of attack. They're getting lots of space in behind the Madrid full-backs, but it could be worth keeping a few crosses on the ground to find late-arriving midfielders.
53'
Joan Jordán gets yellow.
Hazard gets away from Jordan out on the touchline, but the Sevilla midfielder pulls him back by the shirt and picks up a yellow card.
52'
Óliver Torres enters the game and replaces F. Vázquez.
Lopetegui opts to go to the bench to try and impact the game, bringing on Torres for Vazquez.
51'
Benzema gets Carrico under pressure, but the centre-back doesn't back down and manages to get the ball under his control and pass back to Vaclik. Good strength shown all-round there.
49'
Madrid counter and it sets up Bale with a chance to burst into the box as he so often loves to do. Instead of cutting in looking for a shot, he tries to pick out Benzema, but the Frenchman isn't quite on the same wavelength and the pass is just behind him.
48'
Ocampos bustles his way into the box with some neat footwork, but Mendy wins possession back without conceding a corner! That's a first for this game!
46'
KICK-OFF! Real Madrid restart the action at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
45' +1
Jordan lines up a set piece in stoppage time at the end of the first half, but it doesn't even clear the first man.
HALF-TIME: SEVILLA 0-0 REAL MADRID.
38'
Sevilla are trying to play out, but they're struggling under the high Madrid press and Carrico is forced to clear it long.
32'
James has some space on the left for a free cross into the box, but it's just so poor! He raises his hand to apologise to the numerous team-mates he had waiting in the box for a decent ball.
28'
There's an incident between Bale and Reguilon and it seems as though Bale fouled the Sevilla left-back, but it's Lopetegui who's shown a yellow for remonstrating with the fourth official!
26'
É. Banega gets yellow.
Banega is next to be shown a yellow for a late tackle on James.
Banega with a pass wide to Reguilon, who turns inside to Ocampos and then back once more to Banega. Sevilla are moving the ball around so well, but there's no penetration when it counts. They're looking just a little blunt at the moment.
24'
Sevilla are on the attack again, De Jong trying to weave his way into the box, but he's well-marshalled by Carvajal and they win yet another corner.
22'
This is just wonderful from Sevilla! Such excellent interplay in the middle of the pitch -spearheaded by Banega - has seen them tear right through Madrid. It's a shame the final ball is lacking because a move of that quality deserves something at the end!
20'
Dani Carvajal gets yellow.
Carvajal is shown a yellow card for catching Ocampos. The first real moment of note in the first half and it's a booking.
19'
Real Madrid now with a chance to get on the front foot and it's Bale leading the charge. He cuts in and passes back to James, who decides to recycle possession and keep the ball moving.
16'
Sevilla are keeping the pressure up at the moment, penning Madrid into their own defensive third. Can they turn this into a goal, though? They haven't threatened Courtois just yet.
12'
Carvajal tries to pick out Bale and he finds him near the byline. The Welshman crosses, but Carlos turns it behind for another corner - the fifth one of the game!
10'
Sevilla with their third corner of the game to the near post and Banega goes for the spectacular! But it's completely miscued and he ends up sprawled out on the turf.
8'
Another free-kick awarded in favour of Casemiro, this time Ocampos with the foul. Good play from the Brazilian as it earns his team some respite from a spell of Sevilla pressure.
6'
Hazard delivers the free-kick towards the left of the box, but it's turned behind for a corner. Madrid take it short and Benzema gets his head to it, but only to give away a goal-kick.
5'
Sevilla now with a chance to break and a lot of space in front of them, but the referee blows the whistle and calls play back to a foul on Casemiro by Fernando. A lucky break for Madrid!
4'
Casemiro with a long pass wide to Hazard, who cuts in and lays it off simply to Mendy on the underlap. The left-back then switches play wide to the other side of the pitch. Patient passing this from Real Madrid trying to pick an opening.
2'
Navas has some space to break into on the far side of the pitch, but he's closed down promptly by Mendy and forced to turn back.
1'
KICK-OFF! Sevilla get the game started.
Hello everyone and welcome to our live coverage of the LaLiga showdown between Sevilla and Real Madrid.
What a start it's been for Sevilla, earning 10 points from their first four games to equal their best-ever start to a LaLiga campaign - and they have a massive opportunity to go top of the league with victory against a fragile Real Madrid side still reeling from a disappointing midweek defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Los Blancos are still undefeated domestically though, and too could jump from seventh to first should they win by a big enough margin.
SEVILLA XI (4-3-3): Tomas Vaclik; Jesus Navas, Diego Carlos, Daniel Carrico, Sergio Reguilon; Ever Banega, Fernando, Joan Jordan; Lucas Ocampos, Luuk de Jong, Franco Vazquez.
SUBS: Nolito, Jules Kounde, Yassine Bounou, Javier Hernandez, Nemanja Gudelj, Sergio Escudero, Oliver Torres.
REAL MADRID XI (4-2-3-1): Thibaut Courtois; Dani Carvajal, Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos, Ferland Mendy; Casemiro, Toni Kroos; Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Eden Hazard; Karim Benzema.
SUBS: Alphonse Areola, Eder Militao, Nacho Fernandez, Fede Valverde, Lucas Vazquez, Luka Jovic, Vinicius Junior.
Don’t go anywhere because the teams are out and kick-off is coming up next!
A reminder that Sevilla have scored in each of their last 17 home league games against Madrid - the last time they failed to score against them on home soil in the league came back in March 2002. Hopefully, then, the second half will bring goals.
That's all from us for Real Madrid's 1-0 victory over Sevilla. Thanks for staying with us and goodbye for now!
It's a huge victory for Madrid that takes them second in LaLiga, missing out on top spot on goal difference. It's Osasuna up next at home on Wednesday, before a Madrid Derby at the Wanda Metropolitano on the weekend. For Sevilla, they drop to fifth and miss the chance to go top - it's Eibar away on Thursday before they return home against Real Sociedad this weekend.
