On Tuesday evening, in the Norway's "Lerkendal" stadium, which can accommodate 22 thousand spectators, the 2016 UEFA Super Cup match took place. The Champions League and Europa League winners - Madrid's "Real" against "Sevilla" clashed for the trophy. Despite missing some key players, the Madrid "Real" club defeated the Europa League winners after a dramatic battle. Sergio Ramos's header brought the "white" team an extension, and Dani Carvajal sealed the deal at the end of the match. The match started strong for the "Real" team, which created dangerous attacks towards "Sevilla" goal right from the start. In the 21st minute, the crowd finally saw the first goal - young "Real" talent Marco Asensio received the ball in the center, decisively struck from about 23 meters out, and put the match favorites in the lead. After letting in the goal, "Sevilla" intensified their attacks and began to press their opponents who gained the advantage. In the 41st minute, "Sevilla" equalized - after a precise Vitolo shot, Franco Vazquez found space between the "Real" defenders and sent the ball into Kiko Casilla's goal. The second half started similarly, but "Sevilla" felt much more comfortable. The Europa League winners controlled the ball longer and in the 72nd minute unexpectedly received a gift from the referee - detecting a foul in the penalty area, the referee awarded a penalty to the royal club's goal. K. Casilla was powerless, and Evgen Konoplyanka scored with a precise shot, putting "Sevilla" ahead. After the unexpected second goal, "Real" had nowhere to retreat, and on the field after substitutions were Luka Modric, Karim Benzema, and James Rodriguez. At the end of regular time, the Spanish vice-champions had nowhere to retreat and began to press their opponents. Finally, in the 93rd minute, an equalizing goal was scored by none other than Sergio Ramos, who saved "Real" in the finals. The teams had to go to extra time, where the footballers from Madrid were much more powerful. In the 93rd minute, "Sevilla" was left with ten players, and shortly after, the same S. Ramos scored a goal again. However, the referee observed rule violations, and the result remained the same, although the episode was highly controversial. "Real" was not ready to go into the penalty shootout and continued to actively press their opponents. In the 119th minute, the side defender Dani Carvajal gathered his last strengths, ran through half of the field, dodged all the opponents in his way, and became the author of the winning goal. The Madrid team won the UEFA Super Cup trophy for the third time in the club's history. The last time they triumphed in this tournament was two years ago, defeating the same "Sevilla" with a score of 2-0. Result: "Real Madrid" 3 - 2 "Sevilla" 21' [1 - 0] M. Asensio 41' [1 - 1] F. Vazquez 72' [1 - 2] E. Konoplyanka (11 m. penalty) 90' [2 - 2] S. Ramos 119' [3 - 2] D. Carvajal 93' T. Kolodziejczak ("Sevilla") sent off the field
