La Liga: Madrid Beaten 1-0 by Sevilla While Barca Marches on

Real Madrid slumped to their second league defeat of the season going down 1-0 to a spirited Sevilla FC side at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sept 16, 2012. An early 2nd minute strike from German-playmaker Piotr Trochowsk gave the home team the whole 3 points.

Madrid's quest for an equalizer during the match proved in vain as the hosts remained compact at the back dropping deeper and deeper in the closing stages. The last time this two team met, Los Blancos had thumped Sevilla 6-2.

Meanwhile, Barcelona maintained their 100 per cent start to the season as they defeated Getafe 4-1 at Coliseum Alfonso Perez with a brace from who els?... Lionel Messi, who came on as second-half substitute. Adriano and come-back man David Villa also found the net for the Catalan giants.

Barcelona now atop the La Liga points table with 12 points from 4 games, eight points cleared of reigning champions Real Madrid.
