In the continuation, both sides slowed down, so Madrid ended the first half with a two-goal lead – although it was necessary for Gazzaniga to hit Kroos’ bomb over the bar in extra time.
The second half also started with a roaring opportunity for Girona, David López’s header was bravely saved by Kepa, and the rebound was scooped up by Eric García, on loan from Barcelona. In the 64th minute, Bellingham could have scored again, but Gazzaniga was on the alert again. With the passage of time, Girona, who were struggling after the beautification, opened up one more, and Real Madrid took advantage of this in the 71st minute: at the end of the exemplary counter, Joselu’s shot was still saved by Gazzaniga, but the routine striker saved the rebound. Jude Bellingham he raised it in front of him, who flicked the ball into the net with his characteristic confidence.
