Real Madrid joined the game in last place in the group after their unexpected 2-3 home defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk. Borussia, on the other hand, was encouraged by a very good performance against Inter, with whom they drew in Milan 2: 2.
From the very beginning, the match was dictated by the team from the Spanish capital. Real held the ball longer and created a lot of opportunities to score. However, the hosts were more effective. In the 33rd minute they made a great counterattack, after which the ball was directed by Marcus Thuram. It was Borussia’s only shot in the first 45 minutes. For comparison, the Kingsmen struck 11 times.
The second half began similar to the first. Just two minutes after his resumption, Marco Asensio hit the bar. Later, Vinicius had an excellent situation, but he missed the goal at close range. Real attacked and the hosts came out with counterattacks. In the 58th minute they hit the net again. This time, Thuram caught the ball reflected by Courtois after a shot by Alassane Plei and put it close to the goal.
Zinedine Zidane tried to react and sent Luca Modric and Eden Hazard back from injury. However, he had to wait until the 87th minute for the goal. Then Casemiro turned the ball into the center after a cross, and Karim Benzema scored from close range. This only added faith to the guests who were striving to balance. They managed to do this in the 93rd minute, following a very similar pattern. This time, however, it was Sergio Ramos who played the ball in the penalty area and Casemiro shot.
After two rounds, Real has only a point and is last in the group. The leader with four eyes is Shakhtar. Borussia Moenchengladbach and Inter each have two points.
In the next series of matches, the Kings will play against the team from Milan, while Shakhtar will face Gladbach.
