Real Madrid lost a second consecutive game after being defeated 2: 3 by Shakhtar Donetsk at the start of Group B of the Champions League. The Ukrainians went ahead 3: 0 before the break after goals from Tete (29), Manor Salomon (42) and an own goal by Rafael Varane (33). In the second half, Zinedine Zidane’s men reduced by means of Luka Modric (54) and Vinicius (59), and in the 92nd minute Federico Valverde’s goal was annulled by an ambush.
Thus, days after the defeat at home against Cádiz in La Liga, tonight the “Kings” suffered another defeat at the “Alfredo Di Stefano” in Madrid. In the last match of the group, Inter face Borussia Mönchengladbach.
As expected, Zinedine Zidane caused a lot of problems in his team due to Barcelona’s upcoming visit to La Liga. Shakhtar were seriously weakened by the coronavirus, and at least five of the team’s starters did not fall into the match group.
However, the Ukrainians surprised European football with their game in the first half, after which they led 3-0. In the 14th minute, Marlos pointed out that Shakhtar did not come to lose a bit at Madrid. However, Courtois managed to deflect his blow.
In the 29th minute, Víctor Kornienko broke into the Real’s penalty area, finding Tete in a magnificent position, who made it 1: 0 with a dagger. Only four minutes later, Tete broke away from the local defense, but his shot was killed by Courtois. Varan tried to overtake Marlos and clear the ball but stabbed him at his own goal – 2: 0 for Shakhtar.
The clash for Real was total and three minutes before the end of the half the Ukrainians scored a third goal. Here, too, Tete was at her core, technically dropping her heel on Solomon, who left Courtois in place with a kick to the opposite corner.
La Real started the second half with force and in the 54th minute Luka Modric reduced the score with a powerful shot from more than 30 meters. Marlos and Theta missed, and Vinicius cut the lead in the 59th minute. The Brazilian, who had appeared on the field 14 seconds earlier, stole the ball from a defender and did it 2: 3 from the edge of the penalty area.
The Spanish pressured, but opened even more spaces in their defense. In the 64th minute, Tete jumped alone against Courtois, but braked and failed to get past him. Soon after, in a new counterattack, Marlos technically managed to nail the ball over Courtois, but the goal was disallowed by an ambush by Tete seconds before.
This led to the 92nd minute of the match, when Real thought they had tied. After a learned corner kick, the ball was returned to the edge of the penalty area, from where Federico Valverde directed the ball into the net. However, Vinicius was right in front of goalkeeper Trubin, so the hosts’ goal was disallowed.
