Sevilla were given a golden opportunity in damage-time to grab victory at El Sadar but Ivan Rakitic ignored a penalty, his shot well saved by way of the diving Sergio Herrera.
It turned into a dramatic stop to an in any other case underwhelming contest and a doubtlessly large moment inside the name race, with Madrid now able to flow six factors clean in the event that they win at domestic to Granada on Sunday.
"We deserved the 3 points," said Sevilla teach Julen Lopetegui.
"I do not suppose they'd a threat and we had a few clear ones. We controlled the sport but it wasn't to be. We're disappointed."
A tired and depleted Sevilla have struggled to keep the strain on Madrid in latest weeks, this their fourth draw of their last six games in the league.
Injuries struck once more as Luis Ocampos pulled up inside the warm-up and had to get replaced by way of Rakitic after which Gonzalo Montiel went down and had to go off within the 6th minute.
The desire was that Martial, signed on loan from Manchester United inside the January switch window, might carry clean impetus however the Frenchman regarded rusty before being replaced after seventy six mins.
Martial stated he joined Sevilla to play more often after making only starts inside the Premier League for United this season, and he looked like a player missing sharpness and rhythm.
The 26-yr-antique performed off the left of the the front 3 and whilst he confirmed some neat touches and one riding run, there were bad touches too and his usual contribution amounted to very little.
"He has just arrived," said Lopetegui. "He has to head little by little and settle into the team. I'm sure it's going to appear soon."
