Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. AFC Ajax kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 10' Frenkie de Jong has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 20' Real Madrid CF seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 35' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Vinicius Junior suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' It looks surprising AFC Ajax does not make any changes. Marco Asensio has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' Real Madrid CF fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 50' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 53' AFC Ajax player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 58' It looks like no one’s ball. Real Madrid CF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 60' Real Madrid CF is taking the lead after the goal scored by Karim Benzema on 60.
- 61' Lucas Vazquez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gareth Bale on 61 minute.
- 66' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gareth Bale made 545 appearances and scored 43 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 70' Reguilon has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 70.
- 73' Karim Benzema makes way for Marco Asensio at the 73 minute mark. A tactical switch from Real Madrid CF.
- 75' A stunning finish from Hakim Ziyech — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 80' AFC Ajax is showing some good football. However, AFC Ajax are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 81' It is a substitution in Real Madrid CF team. Vinicius Junior is replaced by Mariano Diaz on 81 minute.
- 83' A moment of madness from Lucas Vazquez on 83 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Real Madrid CF will be frustrated.
- 87' The Spain Marco Asensio breaks the deadlock on 87 minutes. 1-2!
- 90' Sergio Ramos picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- Real Madrid CF celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
