The last five matches of the 9th round were played in the Spanish "La Liga" championship on Sunday. The most interesting match took place in Andalusia, where "Sevilla", supported by their fans, clashed with Madrid "Atletico". Jorge Sampaoli's team surpassed the "Rojiblancos" and jumped to the first position. The goal that brought victory came in the 73rd minute, when Steven N'Zonzi scored after a pass from Luciano Vietto. In the 77th minute, "Atletico" was left with ten players - Koke received his second yellow card. The visitors failed to score the equalizing goal, and "Sevilla" celebrated the victory. In other matches, Vigo's "Celta" and "Malaga" crushed their opponents, while "Villarreal" secured a dramatic victory at the end of the match against "Las Palmas". In the last evening match at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, Madrid "Real" clashed with Bilbao "Athletic". Zinedine Zidane's players had difficulties, but Alvaro Morata, who came in as a substitute, led the team to a victory with a score of 2-1. The match started well for the hosts - in the seventh minute, Karim Benzema scored after a great pass from Isco. However, "Real" did not enjoy a one-goal advantage for long, and in the 27th minute, the score was equalized by Merino Sabin. No more goals were scored by either team in the remaining first half time. In the second half, the "whites" pressured the opponents, but the winning goal was only scored in the 83rd minute. Celebrating his birthday today, Alvaro Morata defeated the goalkeeper on his second attempt and widened the victory margin. After the victory, "Real" rose to the first place and has a one-point advantage over the closest pursuers from "Sevilla". Results: "Sevilla" 1 - 0 "Atletico" 73' [1 - 0] S.
