Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 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.
- 9' What a strike from Karim Benzema! The score is 1-0.
- 14' It’s high time Marco Rose made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 19' Real Madrid CF is showing some good football. However, Real Madrid CF are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 24' 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 Laszlo Benes suffering a number of foals already.
- 29' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 31' What a strike from Karim Benzema! The score is 2-0.

- 74' Time for substitution for Real Madrid CF. Vinicius Junior is replaced by Marco Asensio.
- 79' Marcus Thuram-Ulien has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 6 goals this season.
