Wards Julena Lopetegi returned to the winning path, beating Czech Victoria (2: 1).
Real Madrid is not the best of times at Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid accepted modest Czech Victoria, Julen Lopetegui returned to Benosema's base Kroos, but sent a defeated Varan to the bench, replacing the always ready to help out Nacho.. The reporting match showed that the problems of “creamy” did not disappear anywhere, in the final third of the field there was often not enough ingenuity, and in defense again everything was very unconvincing, since the rival did not realize his moments.
Madrid could lead in the long run in the 5th minute, when Ramos won the horse fight after a corner and shot through the goal, but the bar saved the guests from a missed goal.. “Creamy” increased their pressure on the Grushka gates, but they were the ones who almost missed the first after Petrzhela twice in one attack struck the goal from close range, but first Navas saved and then the finishing motion of Milan was inaccurate. And in the return attack, Real did open the scoring - Vazquez completed the service to the far post on Benzema, and Karim kicked the ball into the net - 1: 0.
After a goal was scored, the wards of the Lopetegi calmed down and for a long time simply controlled the ball without claiming a threat to the Grushka goal, in the second half of the half, the Czechs almost fired their opponent for inaction, Limberski joined the attack and threw the ball through Navas, but did not hit the goal. In response, Benzema could make a double, but this time the goalkeeper Victoria saved his team. A little later, Alesh almost brought a goal into his own net, in a simple situation having presented the ball to Isco, but he did not use such a generous gift, breaking through the gate. Before leaving for the break, the wards of Pavel Vrba were again very close to a goal scored, but Groshovski managed not to hit the shots from a few meters, so the teams went to the locker rooms with the minimum advantage of the hosts.
After the game was resumed, Victoria almost scored a quick goal, but the realization failed again, Havel’s kick from the goalkeeper’s line lacked accuracy. But Real Madrid took advantage of his opportunity to score - in the 55th minute Valverde, barely a substitute, otpasoval into the penalty area on Bale, Gareth gave it further to Marcelo, and the Brazilian gracefully threw the ball over Grushka - 2: 0. After that, the hosts calmed down again and slowly rolled the ball, occasionally punching the shots, but either their shots lacked precision, or Grushka played reliably, the goalkeeper was already powerless in one of the episodes and Benzema sent the ball into the net, but the goal was not scored because of offside.
Wards Vrby did not leave attempts to score, and in the 78th minute they achieved their goal, deservedly sending the ball into the goal of Navas - in the 78th minute Groshovski beat with Chermak and carefully laid the ball in the bottom corner - 2: 1. After a goal was scored, the Czechs gained confidence in their own abilities and took the ball to themselves, hoping to score again, could contribute to the injury of Marcelo, due to which the Madrid team had to finish the match with ten players, but Victoria never seriously disturbed Navas before the end of the meeting.
As a result, the “creamy” won not the easiest victory, which turned out to be the first for them in a long time, there are still questions for the team.
