Real Madrid suffered a surprising loss of points in the home game against Osasuna. Thanks to Vinicius, the Madrilenians went into halftime with a narrow lead, but that was not enough. Osasuna still scored against. Benzema had the winning goal at the foot, but the Frenchman missed from eleven meters. Real, where neither Courtois and Hazard played, will thus lead the Primera Division together with Barcelona.
No Belgians in the starting eleven of Real Madrid against Osasuna. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was not in the selection due to nerve pain in his left leg. Eden Hazard, who was still in the eye of the storm in Spain this week, started again from the bench. The Red Devil saw how Vinicius’ fairly innocent pass landed in the goal just like that. 1-0 was also the halftime score.
But Osasuna didn’t just let himself be walked all over. Kike Garcia headed the equalizer on the board five minutes into the second half. Benzema (back from injury) had the perfect opportunity ten minutes before time to give Real the lead again, but failed from the spot. A few minutes later he did hit, but the goal was disallowed.
At 1-1 the final would also remain. Real, where Eden Hazard did not come off the bench, suffers a loss of points for the first time this season. De Koninklijke leads the standings with 19 points, together with Barcelona.
