Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Santiago Bernabeu. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Real Madrid CF and Granada CF.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Granada CF that had 251 games and scored 289 goals.
  • 10' Sergio Ruiz has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 151 appearances.
  • 11' The Granada CF bench stirs into life. Raul Fernandez is withdrawn and Andre Ferreira gets his opportunity.
  • 16' Both keepers have barely been tested. Real Madrid CF and Granada CF are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 21' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 22' Poor challenge from Jude Bellingham. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 26' Magnificent from Brahim Diaz! That is 38 goals in 436 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 31' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Real Madrid CF and Granada CF are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 36' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 41' Granada CF are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 46' Dani Carvajal makes way for Lucas Vazquez at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Real Madrid CF.
  • 51' 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 Raul Fernandez suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' Granada CF fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 57' What a moment for Rodrygo! That strike on 57 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 62' Supporters expect more eagerness from Antonio Puertas, as he is very good at scoring at Santiago Bernabeu with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 64' Time for substitution for Granada CF. Myrto Uzuni is replaced by Shon Weissman.
  • 69' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Real Madrid CF and Granada CF are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 70' Dani Ceballos has so much to prove this time. He replaces Joselu on 70 minute.
  • 75' Ignasi Miquel, a Spain , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 77' Granada CF player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 82' Ferland Mendy has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 83' Time for substitution for Granada CF. Bryan Zaragoza is replaced by Alvaro Fernandez.
  • 85' Gonzalo Garcia is replacing Rodrygo for the Real Madrid CF side.
  • 88' Nico Paz is replacing Brahim Diaz for the Real Madrid CF side.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
