Real Madrid succumbed to a 2-1 defeat at Sevilla on Sunday to miss out on a valuable chance to keep pace with their arch-rivals Barcelona on top of the Primera Liga table. Two headers from wide man Jesus Navas and midfielder Renato in the 33rd and 66th minute respectively gave the home side a vital win. Real's Pepe headed the equalizer right after the interval, when his team were a goal down. Los Merengues, who missed winger Cristiano Ronaldo through injury, are now second with 15 points, trailing leaders and defending champions Barca by three. Third-placed Sevilla are level on points with Real.
