<h1>Spanish League - Real Madrid Close Gap Down to Four Points with Win over Sevilla</h1>Author: <a title="Ally White" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/ally-white/6052.htm">Ally White</a> The current champion of La Liga, Real Madrid, has closed the gap down to just four points from the leader Barcelona by beating the third place’s Sevilla with a score of 4-2, this past Sunday. The captain Raul had an amazing night, scoring 3 goals and increasing his team hopes of defending its championship. This triumph is the 17th of the last 19 games for the “Whites”, who have been having an amazing run due to the accurate direction of their coach Juande Ramos and the great attitude of the Merengues players, who are focused on winning the title for a third consecutive year. During the first minutes of the game, Sevilla was on control of the game and even managed to open the score with a goal of the Brazilian Renato Dirnei. However, that early goal made the Merengues to get a fighting attitude and take control of the game since the middle of the first half, creating chances and achieving a draw in the score with a goal of Raul, who took advantage of a cross of his teammate Cristoph Metzelder at minute 45. In the second half the “Whites” kept leading the game and showing great football which in result gave Real Madrid two more goals from their superstar striker Raul Gonzalez at the 63rd  and 65th minutes, putting the score 3-1. Nevertheless, a quick reaction from the team Sevilla and a good play of Diego Capel, who scored the second goal for the “Rojiblancos” at minute 81, gave hope to the team and grow fans’ emotions. However, that hope was crushed at overtime when the Brazilian Marcelo scored the fourth goal of the “Merengues”. After the game, Coach Juande Ramos expressed his satisfaction over the great performance of his team, who has won seven consecutive games after the draw against Atlético Madrid on March 8th. Juande Ramos stated that his team’s effort has paid off; the team has won many games without reducing the gap, but even so they have kept fighting. “We've won a lot of matches, picking up 17 victories overall, but we've not been able to close on them and at times it makes it hard for you when you don't see any results for the work you are putting in. There are five games remaining, a lot of points, and on Saturday we have a home game against Barcelona where we are going to play a very important game," affirmed Ramos. On the other hand, the striker of the “Whites”, Raul, stated that his team knew that Sevilla would make things difficult for them and even when they were down early in the game, they had faith in themselves and worked hard to control the game by creating good chances to get the victory. With this triumph, now Real Madrid is preparing for the “Clásico” against Barcelona in the Santiago Bernabeu on May 2nd. We wish the best to Real and Barcelona and we hope to watch great football next weekend. About the Author: Ally White is a top senior copy writer on <a href="http://www.instantactionsports.com/sportsbook/soccer/spanish-soccer-league-history.html">Spanish League Soccer</a> and sports action for the <a href="http://www.instantactionsports.com/">sportsbetting</a> <a href="http://www.instantactionsports.com/" target="_blank">www.instantactionsports.com/</a>
