Kroos destroys Celta, Real takes all 3 points |
Goal:
Real: Morata (60'), Kroos (81')
Celta: Orellana (67')
Welcoming Celta at home, Real entered the match with confidence. Without Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema, Real still played with enthusiasm, giving fans coherent coordination and continuously firing shots at the opponent's goal.
However, unlike previous matches, Real's strikers were quite unlucky in this match. Bale, Morata and Modric tried their hand at all kinds of finishing positions, including headers, long-range shots and close-range shots, but they could not get past goalkeeper Sergio Álvarez, who had an excellent day.
It was not until the 60th minute, from a sensitive situation, that Morata helped Real break the deadlock with a simple rebound after Asensio's failed pass. However, just 7 minutes later, Orellana stunned Santiago Bernabeu with a spectacular shot from outside the box, equalizing the score.
Not accepting to lose points, Real attacked like a storm, the speed of the match was pushed up. The home team players took turns shooting, in which Bale had a chance to head in a close goal but shot right at the opponent's goalkeeper.
In that deadlock, Toni Kroos shone in time to help Real keep all 3 points at Bernabeu. In the 81st minute, from a distance of about 25m, the German midfielder launched an extremely delicate long-range shot, the ball went low and dangerous, making goalkeeper Alvarez unable to block, sealing a hard-fought 2-1 victory for Real. Thanks to this victory, Real also temporarily climbed to the top of the rankings with 6 points after 2 matches.
Line-up: Real: Casilla; Carvajal, Varane, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo; Casemiro, Modric (James 69'), Kroos; Marco Asensio (Lucas Vázquez, 65'), Bale, Morata (Mariano 77'). Celta: Sergio Álvarez; Hugo Mallo, Cabral, Roncaglia, Jonny; Radoja (Pione Sisto 85'), Pablo Hernández, Wass (Pape 76'); Orellana, Bongonda, Guidetti (Iago Aspas 73'). |
