The 15th round of the Spanish League settled down perfectly on two calendar days in the middle of this week, while also creating a pretty good setting for the upcoming Christmas holidays. Real Madrid within the framework of this football program was going to host Granada, which was potentially one of the pursuers of the “creamy” in the standings, positioning itself at the entrance to the future European cup area.

Zinedine Zidane’s team scored a big move in December, so they intended to finish the calendar year with dignity in two more upcoming fights. The Andalusian club in recent years has not posed a serious threat to the reigning champions of Spain, scoring at least some points in 2013 (1: 0).

In this “pandemic” season, the situation in the standings, and in general, within each La Liga team, was such that the sensational results of the fights were already taken for granted. It fits perfectly in this moment of thesis, which took place to be in the door of the home team already in the second 30, when Puertas threw the ball over the crossbar, having received an inside pass from Kenedy’s penalty. Granada tried to open from the start, but could not do so immediately, and soon the goalkeeper Rui Silva had to take a shot from Benzema from the left side of the penalty from the lower right corner of his goal.

The teams showed quite a significant game, not wanting to give up the fight in midfield. The only difference between them was that Real Madrid, even in such conditions, managed to break through the depths of someone else’s possessions and create promising situations for goals scored. With the end, Zidane’s team had problems, and the goalkeeper of the rivals on the line did not fall asleep, that had to be said after the moments of Benzema and Kroos. Another prominent participant in the fight was Rodrigo, but already in the 35th minute, a failed jet on the left flank of the attack took him out of the game due to muscle damage.

The equator of the reporting match became the time interval where the main events were concentrated at both gates. Granada accompanied us to the break with a moment lost by its central Vallejo and Duarte, when the latter could not break through after the teammate’s discount in the goalkeeper’s room, and from the stands we were greeted by a ray of Real in the minute 55, when in one. Goalkeeper Silva’s approach had to stop successive blows from Kroos and Valverde, and Asensio threw the ball higher with a shot.

Real Madrid looked pretty in those minutes with control of the ball, but scored a too “normal” goal. Heading down the left wing on the side of the goalkeeper, Asensio served high and Casemiro completed his teammate’s pass with a header. This episode did not influence Granada’s desire to move on, but everything was very tense with the goal situations in the rival goal for the Andalusian representatives.

As a result, in the fourth compensated minute, Ramos sent Benzema on a run from midfield with a transfer from midfield, and Karim completed the switch to a semicircle with a free throw under the base of the right post. The final play turned out to be very timely, as the rivals little by little began to find the shot in their regular feeds to the penalty area, and with the second goal conceded, these actions stopped making sense.

On the next matchday, Real Madrid will play an away game against Elche, while Granada will host Valencia at home.
