Ronaldo, Bale orchestrate Sevilla rout. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick and Gareth Bale a brace as Real Madrid thrashed Sevilla 7-3 in a La Liga clash at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night. Karim Benzema also bagged a brace on the night, ending his goalless streak for the Whites which had stretched to seven league games. Ivan Rakitic also netted a double for his side and Carlos Bacca added a third while Cameroon international Stephane Mbia was sent of with less than 15 minutes left on the clock. The visitors did a lot of attacking in the opening minutes but paid for it in the 13th minute when the home side opened the scoring from a swift counterattack. Isco carried the ball up on the left and slipped it through for Karim Benzema, who then cut it back for Bale to fire into the roof of the net from inside the box. Bale came close to completing his brace early in the first half, but his effort was pushed away by Beto in the 17th minute, before he fired just over the crossbar four minutes later. Sevilla had their first real effort at goal in the 24th minute when Ivan Rakitic found Alberto Moreno unmarked just outside the box, but the fullback rushed his effort wide of the upright. Bale did eventually score his second goal of the match three minutes later when his freekick deflected off Alberto Moreno and into the back of the net with Beto going the wrong way. Madrid extended their lead in the 32nd minute with Ronaldo converting from the penalty spot after Fernando Navarro was adjudged to have fouled Isco inside the box. The visitors were awarded a penalty of their own six minutes later when Diogo Figueiras went down inside the box under a challenge from Sergio Ramos, who was cautioned for the infringement. Sevilla captain Rakitic stepped up to take the resulting penalty kick and made no mistake as he buried his shot past the diving Diego Lopezand into the bottom left corner. Unai Emery's side scored their second goal of the match five minutes before the break Jairo Samperio received a cross from Victor Machin before setting Bacca to finish from close range. Bacca threatened to bag his brace two minutes into the second half when he cut in from the left side of the box before firing towards goal, but Lopez was able to make a comfortable save at his near post. Sevilla continued to push forward in search of the equaliser with Jairo forcing a good save from Lopez in the 53rd minute, the Madrid goalkeeper using his legs to keep his effort out. Lopez then released Bale on the right, who raced forward on the flank before squaring the ball for Benzema to score from the centre of the box. The former Tottenham Hotspur player was the supplier again on the hour mark as he played a low cross for Ronaldo to bury his first-time shot into the back of the net. However, Sevilla reduced the deficit just three minutes later when Rakitic collected a pass from Diego Perotti outside the box before placing his shot into the top right corner. Ronaldo completed his hat-trick in the 72nd minute, receiving the ball from Benzema on the left and cutting inside before beating Beto with a deflected strike. Sevilla were given an opportunity to get back into the game a minute later when they awarded their second penalty after Diogo went down under a challenge from Ronaldo, but this time Rakitic sent his shot over the crossbar. The visitors were then reduced to ten men in the 76th minute when Cameroon international Stephane Mbia was given his marching orders for a second bookable offence. Carlo Ancelotti's side sealed the win four minutes later with Benzema heading home at the far post to complete his brace, connecting with a cross from Marcelo.
