O Real Madrid (2nd) beat Cádiz (15th) away from home by 2 to 0, this Saturday for the 29th round of LaLiga. Goals by Nacho Fernández (70′) and Marco Asensio (76′) allowed the club from the Spanish capital to establish itself in second place in the table, ahead of Atlético de Madrid, who face Almeria on Sunday.
“It was a well-resolved game at an important moment in the season. I must say that the attitude of the players on the field was spectacular”, said Carlo Ancelotti after the match, admitting that “the first half lacked a little success”.
The coach rested the Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior, thinking about the return game of the quarterfinals against Chelsea.
Real Madrid ended up getting the better of a match in which they dominated, but failed a lot in the last few meters.
Karim Benzema took advantage of a ball hit by goalkeeper David Gil, but his ball exploded off the crossbar and the ball bounced off the line (35′).
In the second half, the French star again sent another ball on the crossbar, with almost no angle (64′).
“It was a game in which Real Madrid were much better than us, they dominated the game,” admitted Cádiz coach Sergio González to the Movistar+ platform.
The giant from the Spanish capital dictated the pace of the game, but it took a while to find the way to the goal due to the good performance of goalkeeper David Gil, true hero of his team.
The Meringues had to wait until Nacho found an opening with a long-range shot (70′) before Asensio sealed the victory shortly afterwards with a cross shot (76).
