The overall level of the Spanish championship has dropped, but this is a plus for neutral spectators. Today in the example, anyone can take points away from anyone. The “Barcelona” suffered yesterday with the “Eibar”, extorting only a draw. And today, “Real” has stumbled in the field of outsiders.
Elche have not won any of their last eight league games. And today he took the “Real” without the head coach on the bridge (illness). Madrid gained a fast pace, winning six matches in a row (in all tournaments). Who would have thought that the “creamy” would be in danger of losing points?
So it was. The game started from the moment “Elche” – Rigoni kissed the ball well, but did not beat Courtois. Marcelo organized a decent answer: the crossbar. And at six minutes, the painting moved Asensio. However, unlike at the moment with the participation of Marcelo, this time Modric had the opportunity to play when shooting. Heading – and 1: 0.
Before the break, “Real” in the class kept their lead. The game was quiet, except that Benzema, after the transfer of Ramos, was able to double the score. But the beginning of the second part was a real shock for Zidane. Upon handing over the banner, Carvajal openly embraced and “embraced” Barragán, for which he was sanctioned with a penalty. Fidel Chávez made a clear shot from the “spot”, without noticing that Courtois guessed the direction of the ball.
Here are the problems for the favorite and contender for the championship. “Elche” is famous for its organized defense, and after the goal was scored, the hosts completely covered themselves in armor. Modric searched for the hole, but never found it. Dani Carvajal was also unlucky. But “Real” could even fail, if Lucas Boe were a little more precise.
“Real” often scored last in previous matches. Late director – Karim Benzema. So today the Frenchman had a moment after Modric’s presentation. However, the blow, carried out with a slight movement of the head from a position with their backs to the goal, made all the Madrilenians grab their heads, a few centimeters beyond the counterattack. And then Thibault Courtois had to repel a dangerous free kick by Gonzalo Verdu, it was not long before the defeat.
Real Madrid also plays a draw, not just Barça. Losing points in such fights is making fun of your own champion ambitions. The question is whether Atlético will be able to take advantage of the gifts. It is a sin not to use it.
