Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — RC Celta de Vigo and Real Madrid CF get this one started.
  • 3' The Norway Jorgen Strand Larsen breaks the deadlock on 3 minutes. 1-0!
  • 8' Real Madrid CF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 8.
  • 13' Real Madrid CF fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 18' Joselu is replacing Vinicius Junior for the Real Madrid CF side.
  • 23' 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.
  • 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Toni Kroos, as he is very good at scoring at Municipal de Balaidos with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 33' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Real Madrid CF that had 548 games and scored 784 goals.
  • 38' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Franco Cervi made 470 appearances and scored 16 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 43' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Carlo Ancelotti will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 45' The supporters are chanting for Manu Sanchez. He replaces Franco Cervi on 45 minute.
  • 50' 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 Jonathan Bamba suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' The 28-year-old Luca de la Torre has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 60' RC Celta de Vigo are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Real Madrid CF backline.
  • 63' Another substitution for Real Madrid CF to replace Eduardo Camavinga by Toni Kroos on 63 minute.
  • 67' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Iago Aspas.
  • 71' Poor challenge from Toni Kroos. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 76' A quiet spell here at Municipal de Balaidos. RC Celta de Vigo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 77' RC Celta de Vigo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Renato Tapia is hanging Jorgen Strand Larsen on the field on 77 minute.
  • 80' It is a substitution in Real Madrid CF team. Fran Garcia is replaced by Nacho on 80 minute.
  • 81' A stunning finish from Jude Bellingham — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 81' The RC Celta de Vigo manager makes a substitution. Luca de la Torre departs to be replaced by Miguel Rodriguez.
