Match Events
8' GOAL! Real Madrid 1-0 Leganes (Bale)
The Leganes back line drops off Benzema, allowing the Frenchman to get a shot away. It deflects off the outstretched leg of Zaldua and towards Bale, who quickly sends a deft, close-range volley through the legs of Cuellar and into the back of the net.
37' Amrabat hits the crossbar! The Moroccan finds himself in an excellent position just outside of the Madrid penalty area and quickly shoots, but his toe-poked strike clips the top of the crossbar after getting the better of Casilla.
45' GOAL! Real Madrid 2-0 Leganes (Mayoral)
A corner is sent short and worked over to Kovacic, who then whips a lovely cross over to the far post. It manages to pick out Mayoral, who is easily able to poke the ball into the back of the net from a few yards out.
66' GOAL! Real Madrid 2-1 Leganes (Brasanac)
GOAL! Leganes have pulled one back! Amrabat causes problems inside the penalty area once again before putting the ball on a plate for Brasanac, who easily taps the ball into the back of the net from close range.
93' Red Card! Pires sent off

Even Mayoral Scored. But Benzema is still on his goal scoring drought. Bale scored a bicycle kick. The experiment of Zidane was brilliant. But they failed to keep clean sheets. It's the problem of real Madrid. They always concedes goals. 3 points in pocket. Good job. Hala Madrid.

Benzema played well... And give some supports to the teammates.. But defence line was very weak.. And also very poor... Today's victory i think also a luck.... We lose the league bt we can make improvements in our current standinga into a good one.. So little bit improvements in squad and team play... We expecting much more quality performance... Because our team Name is Real Madrid... We can make wonders... #halamadrid💪💪💪

Zidane's experiment was working..!! Bale plaued a big role dropping in deep many times to assist in the build up..!! His work rate was influencing the team..!! Theo, Llorente, Hakimi, Ceballos played well and showed what they could do..!! The defense was fine and despite lacking the regular players..!! kovacic was very good in Holding the ball and finding spaces for attack..!! over all it was a good performance..!!
