At the last minute, will the game of La Liga freeze? This question can be raised now. Because, Real Madrid, which is in the circle of consecutive wins, is suddenly looking for points. They drew 1-1 in the league match against Rayo Viocano. The fight with Girona is just waiting to be gathered.
On Sunday (February 18), Real played with a weak defense in the opponent’s field. But the attack was as strong as ever. Carlo Ancelotti’s team went ahead at the beginning of the match. In the third minute, Joselu took Real’s lead from Fede Valverde’s pass after catching Brahim Diaz’s extended ball on the right.
After that, Real almost got another goal. In the eighteenth minute, 33-year-old Joselu headed the ball into Vaiecano’s net again. However, the ball crossed the byline before Lucas Vazquez could cross.
Viocano equalized in the 24th minute on the counter-attack against Real’s attack. Raul de Tomas scored the goal from the spot kick. When Oscar Treho’s shot from inside the box hit Real midfielder Eduardo Kamavinga, the referee gave a penalty after seeing it on the monitor with the help of VAR.
Real created a few good chances in the rest of the first half. On the other hand, Viokano also creates another opportunity. But no one else saw the goal. Both teams went into the break with equality.
In the second half, it was as if Real were rehearsing for a missed goal. In the 58th minute, he made a great pass in the box, but Joselu’s effort was blocked by goalkeeper Dimitrovski. Then Kamavinga was replaced by Toni Kroos in the 70th minute. After 10 minutes, the goalkeeper failed to jump the German midfielder’s free kick.
Meanwhile, Real Dani Carvajal sees a red card. The Spaniard received the first card for protesting a referee’s decision and the second for a foul. That made Real a team of 10 people. The Madrid team could not turn around from there.
In this draw, 19 wins in 25 matches and 62 points for Real in 5 draws. Girona’s points are 56 after playing one match less. Barcelona is third with 54 points in 25 matches, Atletico is fourth with 51 points. Viocano is at number 14 with 25 points.
