Goals of Gareth Bale and Lukas Vasquez brought a “creamy” victory over Roma (2: 0).

In Rome, the local Roma took Real Madrid. On the eve of CSKA lost to Victoria, so that the participants of the reporting match went into the playoffs before it began, now it was necessary to determine the fate of the winner. In the support zone of Madrid came an unexpected performer in the person of Marcos Llorente, and Dani Ceballos remained in reserve, from the unexpected it is worth noting the absence of Isco in the application. Roma lacked top scorer Edin Dzeko, who did not have time to recover from the injury..

The guests started the meeting more actively, occupying another half of the field, but not threatening the opponent's goal. Over time, the game leveled out, the teams took turns possessing the ball, but left the goalkeepers almost without work, as an exception, we can recall the blow from Modrica and the rebounding of Benzema, which Olsen could hardly cope with, and there was no real player on the finish. After that, Roma completely took the ball to himself and with great strength went to the other half of the field, often completing his attacks with shots on goal.

In one of the episodes, Schick took advantage of the ball bounce and shot at goal from close range, but Courtois did not let the ball be in the net, reacting to this blow. In the end of the first half, the game calmed down, it was assumed that there would be no more dangerous moments before the break, but in stoppage time, Karvahal almost scored his own goal, giving the ball to Zanyolo, who otpasoval on free Under, who managed not to get on goal with a few meters. Thus, the teams went to the locker rooms without opening an account..

In the second half of the meeting, the goal was not long to wait - in the 47th minute, Fasio presented the ball to the lonely Bale, who was alone in the penalty area, and Gareth used his chance in full, beating Olsen - 0: 1. Within two minutes, the Welshman was obliged to draw up a double, breaking out on a date with Olsen, but this time he failed to push the ball past the goalkeeper. Madrid continued to own the advantage, putting pressure on the wrong goal, which resulted in a second goal scored - in the 59th minute, Bale gave the far post, Benzema threw the ball to a free Vasquez, who could not miss the empty goal - 0-2.

A little later, the “creamy” made two more sharp attacks, which could have resulted in a goal, but both cases Marcelo and Benzema shot straight into the goalkeeper.. Over time, Real gave the ball in possession of the “wolves” who tried to revive the intrigue as soon as possible, but Eusebio Di Francesco did not succeed in doing this, they were closer to the third goal conceded, rather than to the first goal scored, but before the final whistle didn't see heads. As a result, Real has gained a comfortable victory over Roma, which allowed the team of Solari to reach the clear first place in the group, which is not going anywhere, the final second line of the Romans also does not threaten.

In the 6th round, Roma will go to Pilsen to visit Victoria, and Real will take CSKA from Moscow, from whom he will try to get revenge for the defeat in the first round.
