Real Madrid wins at Sevilla: Vinicius Junior the hero, Mbappe in the shadows

In a La Liga match, Real Madrid secured a 1-0 away victory over Sevilla. The only goal of the match was scored by Vinicius Junior in the 15th minute. This was the Brazilian's 22nd goal of the season, securing three vital points for his team, according to reports Goal.com.

Before the match, all attention was on Kylian Mbappe's return to the starting lineup. However, the French forward failed to impress. Although he attempted five shots, none were on target, and he lost possession 15 times while losing most of his duels.

Mbappe's challenge on a defender during the goal sequence sparked controversy, but the officials allowed play to continue. In the second half, Mbappe scored after rounding the goalkeeper, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

Late in the game, Sevilla launched intense attacks to equalize. Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois saved his team from certain goals several times, especially by denying Kike Salas, which secured the victory for the Madrid side.
