Real Madrid's starters of the 2016 Champions League Final Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo missed the match with injuries.[12][13] In the 21st minute Marco Asensio scored the opening goal for Real Madrid with a strike from 25-yards out which flew into the top left corner of the net. Franco Vázquez got the equalizer in the 41st minute when he scored with a low left foot shot from just inside the penalty area.[14] Sevilla were awarded a penalty in the 72nd minute when Sergio Ramos was adjudged to have fouled Vitolo by flicking back his leg inside the penalty area. Yevhen Konoplyanka scored from the resulting penalty with a low shot to his left sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. In the 93rd minute Sergio Ramos scored with a free header from two yards out after a cross from Lucas Vázquez on the right.[15] Four minutes into extra-time Timothée Kolodziejczak was sent off for a second yellow card following a foul on Lucas Vázquez. Sergio Ramos then stooped low to score his second goal but the goal was ruled out for a pull on Sevilla defender Adil Rami. In the 119th minute Dani Carvajal got into the penalty box after a long run down the right and scored when he lifted the ball with the outside of his right foot over the goalkeeper.[16]
The Champions League winners were designated as the "home" team for administrative purposes.[17]
