In the last two league games, against Valencia and Villarreal, Real Madrid have committed four penalties. They faced a scandalous 4-1 against xe and this Saturday Zinedine Zidane’s team could not get past the tie at the Estadio de la Cerámica (1-1).
The white team, with eleven emergencies due to the outstanding casualties of Ramos, Benzema and Casemiro, has advanced very early thanks to a goal by Mariano, a striker defenestrated by Zidane and who this Saturday has rewarded his first title with a goal just starting, in the second minute of the game. The yellow players protested the action, out of positional play of Lucas Vázquez, but the referees considered that he did not intervene in the action of the goal.
The goal has added a boost of confidence to the Madrid, who have made a good first half, playing orderly and committed. Dani Parejo could have tied the game before the break, but he finished off on his own. However, the break came with a single shot between the three posts, that of Mariano’s goal.
Villarreal wakes up
In the second half, Unai Emery shook the bench and gave a new air to the local bands with the entry of Samu Chukwueze and Pervis Estupiñán. Villarreal have improved substantially and, once again, Parejo has wasted a clear chance to score, shooting deflected from the front. Shortly afterwards, however, a brilliant connection between Estupiñán and Chukwueze ended with Courtois dropping the Nigerian inside the area. Gerard Moreno, an excellent footballer, took the ball and equalized the game from eleven meters.
It seemed that Villarreal could get the victory, but the white team has managed to overcome the local drive and the duel has ended in tables. Take Kubo, a player who played for Barça and is currently on loan at Real Madrid, added in the final minutes and had the last chance of the game, but between Courtois and Nacho they canceled their match. finished. Zidane’s men have accumulated two consecutive clashes in the league without adding the three points.
