Evenness was the dominant tone in the first minutes of play. Denis Suarez, with a long-range shot, starred in the first big chance for the Celestes, while Benzema and Vinicius tried on the part of the Merengue team. A match that was evened after the first quarter of an hour with a goal by Benzema from the penalty spot. Eduardo Coudet’s team did not give up after the 0-1 and could have equalized with a free kick from Iago Aspas that Courtois saved.
Celta came out better than Real Madrid after the restart and, as a result, came the equalizer through Nolito after a great collective play. The joy was short-lived for the Celtic team, who saw two penalties against them, the first of them saved by Dituro, which meant the 1-2 through Benzema in the third penalty of the match.
Abanca Balaídos, in its best entrance of the season, pushed a Celta that tried, without reward, until the end. After this match, the sky blues will face RCD Espanyol next Sunday, April 10, at the RCDE Stadium at 16:15 in the thirty-first round of LaLiga.
