Peeep! That´s half time at the Bernabéu, where Real Madrid go in 1-0 up. Visitors Sevilla made a lively start and created a couple of opportunities, but Benzema´s fantastic opening goal was the signal for a host of chances for the home side. The guests will be content to make it to the dressing room at just the one goal down, although of course they could have levelled - had Gameiro´s penalty not been superbly saved by Navas. Join us for all the action in the second half!
