-The first quarter of an hour shows the domain of the premises. Two shots that went astray from Casemiro and Karim Benzema were the first notices. At 15 ‘, Luka Modric took a good shot that deflected goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo. Villarreal looks withdrawn.
-The defense of the Yellow Submarine was badly stopped and the meringue team did not spare: Luka Modric assisted Karim Benzema and the Frenchman shouted the first of the game at 28 ‘.
In the second half, the tone does not change. Even, a great overflow and a double coupling by Dani Carvajal almost found another goal from the left-side left hand that Asenjo covered.
In addition, a controversial action: Sergio Ramos recovered the ball in the middle of the field, ran towards the rival area and, before downloading for Ferland Mendy, collided with a defender. For the referee it was a penalty despite having listened to his assistants and after that, another controversial move.
Because Ramos took over but, instead of finishing direct, he played for Benzema who invaded the area before the execution, and defined the goal. However, the shot was repeated. Why?
