Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Real Madrid CF kicks off things out of here…
  • 1' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Largie Ramazani makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 6' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Real Madrid CF that had 553 games and scored 793 goals.
  • 11' UD Almería come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 16' Aurelien Tchouameni has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 21' Real Madrid CF are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined UD Almería backline.
  • 26' A quiet spell here at Santiago Bernabeu. UD Almería seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 31' 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 Chumi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 36' UD Almería fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 41' Edgar Gonzalez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 357 appearances.
  • 43' What composure from Edgar Gonzalez! The Spain international strokes it home. 0-2.
  • 46' Another change for Real Madrid CF made on 46 minute. Nacho leaves to be changed by Brahim Diaz.
  • 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 52' That is a Yellow card for UD Almeria. Largie Ramazani will be fuming at that decision.
  • 57' Magnificent from Jude Bellingham! That is 90 goals in 391 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 61' What a strike from Sergio Arribas! The score is 1-3.
  • 64' Dion Lopy catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 64.
  • 65' Poor challenge from Gaizka Garitano. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 67' Vinicius Junior adds to his 6 season tally! Real Madrid CF lead 2-3 — and this changes everything.
  • 70' Another substitution for UD Almeria to replace Marc Pubill by Alejandro Pozo on 70 minute.
  • 72' The supporters are chanting for Alejandro Pozo. He replaces Marc Pubill on 72 minute.
  • 74' Controversy at the stadium! Alejandro Pozo argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 77' Adri Embarba is ready to make an impact after coming on for Largie Ramazani at the 77 minute mark.
  • 78' Adri Embarba has so much to prove this time. He replaces Largie Ramazani on 78 minute.
  • 82' Toni Kroos makes way for Eduardo Camavinga at the 82 minute mark. A tactical switch from Real Madrid CF.
