Sevilla have started poorly against Alaves who have already gotten a 1v1 thundered against the bar. The forward looked offside

0-0 HT at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Sevilla have had the lionshare of the possession. But they have created little. Alaves, on the contrary, have given them a few scares. Sevilla really need a quick striker unafraid of getting physical like Bacca or Gameiro. Vietto is slow and too small to provide a reference point for play to develop
Great chance for Vazquez there.
Better from Sevilla in the second half.
How is Ben Yedder doing at Sevilla?
Great save from Pacheco to deny Sarabia.
Scored against Lyon in CL last game. Apart from that so-so. He has not been played all the time though.
He is going through the 'bedding in' period. But I haven't watched many games to give a view. @SfcNervion can give a better idea
Ben Yedder scores! Wonderful ball from Ganso. A ball that was lost he somehow backheeled into space for Yedder.
Talk of the devil. Ben Yedder with a nice little goal
That ball from Ganso 
Rico trying to be too clever....
Rico trying to be Messi smh.
Alaves equalise from a corner! 5 minutes of normal time left.
Is it just me or do possession football playing teams always get undone by set pieces? Laguardia completely left unmarked at the far post.
Wow what an end to the game! Yedder with his second.
Wow! What a hectic finale to this game. It's Wissam Ben Yedder again!! @VorZakone has worked his jinx(?)Him and Ganso providing presence in the box along with onrushing midfielders in the box has really been a nice change compared to the 1st half
A 2-1 win for Sevilla at home sees them jump to 2nd place behind Madrid only on goal difference. But, of course, the other teams still have to finish this round of games in this match-week.
Sampaoli got the right balance in the 2nd half. In the 1st half, it was too passive with not much forceful attacks as there was probing and prodding for space in behind. But in the 2nd half, there were plenty of runners in the box waiting for low crosses or cutbacks from the bands.

Great goal of Babel to win the match in the last minute
Modric is out for a month or so.
Bye bye Zidane.
Bye bye Zidane.
nothing to worry about, Ronaldo is the real leader anyway
Wtf
So happy for Ben Yedder, a good player who almost on his own saved his former club Toulouse from relegation. It surprised me a little to see a team like a PSG not trying to buy him because he is quality.
He's right though. Real haven't been looking particularly impressive so far this season and with the Modric blow, more problems are added. Couples more draws and Zizou might be out.Wtf
Zidane is a club legend and they have been grooming him for this position for years. He will get more patience than most.
I think you guys are nuts. A couple more draws and he might be out ? Am I actually reading this right ? He might still get sacked midseason but you can be sure it won't be anytime soon.
Only Ibrahimovic and Lacazette have scored more goals than Yedder in Ligue-1 in the last 5 years and they both played for much superior teams. Yedder's Toulouse finished 17th in the last 2 seasons yet he still scored 38 goals in the same period. His quality is undeniable.
We're talking about Perez here.
And he still gave more time to Benitez (who was rubbish) than the prediction's I've been reading so far on this thread.
Out with injuries-
Valencia - Garay
Atletico - Godin, Gimenez, Augusto

Valencia with most of possession in the first 10 minutes with little penetration. Atletico have been on top since then.
Power shot from Griezmann and Alves makes the save.
Something is not right. Montoya is winning against Filipe Luis so far.
Not a penalty. Dive.
What a fecking save.
Penalty for Atletico. Nani foul on Correa inside the box. Bit harsh.
Unbelievable save from the penalty saving king.
Never in doubt. Alves saves.
Seems Griezmann shouldn't take penalties for a while.
