At 23:00 Beijing time on January 23, the 22nd round of La Liga, Benzema did not score a penalty in the first half, and Lucas Boyer's header broke the goal. In the second half, Hazard's point was cancelled, Pere Miria extended the advantage, Modric pulled back a city on a penalty, Militang drew 92 minutes, Real Madrid 2-2 cold draw relegation team Elche, all competitions ended in a five-game winning streak, currently only 4 points ahead of Sevilla behind them.
Three days ago, Real Madrid and Elche met in the Copa del Rey, when Real Madrid also reversed behind and narrowly defeated their opponents in extra time to advance to the quarterfinals.
In this rematch, Real Madrid were the first to enter the form, and in the 33rd minute Vinicius broke into the box and was brought down to help the Galaxy create a penalty. No one expected that Benzema's kick to the crossbar and he failed to break the deadlock.
Previously, Benzema scored 16 consecutive penalties and hit 100% of the shots, but tonight the gold body broke. In addition, he also became the first Real Madrid player to concede a penalty after Ronaldo in 2018.
Missed opportunities will be punished, this sentence was fulfilled again, in the 42nd minute Fidel crossed from the left, Militan rose to the top, Alaba watched Lucas Boyer's header break the goal, because the distance was too close, Courtois could not do anything, 0-1!
In the 52nd minute, Hazard fell to the ground in the penalty area, and the referee just began to award a penalty, which was protested by the Elche players. Subsequently, the referee personally watched the VAR and determined that the opponent did not foul, and the Real Madrid penalty was cancelled.
In the 70th minute, Hazard, Modric and Vinicius played a tacit match, the latter swinging from an angle in the penalty area to shoot into the far corner, helplessly deflecting off the upright. In the 76th minute, the Real Madrid defense once again had a loophole, Lucas Boyer assisted Pere Milia to make another city, real Madrid fell behind 0-2, completely in a desperate situation. In the 77th minute, Modric's corner kick was crossed and Casemiro's header hit the crossbar!
In the 82nd minute, Alaba made a point in the penalty area, Modric hit a goal to pull back a goal, real Madrid fell behind 1-2. In the 92nd minute, Vinicius crossed from the left, Militang's header pressed the opponent into the dead corner, and Real Madrid scored two goals in 10 minutes to recover a thrilling point.
Still, Real Madrid set an embarrassing record, having been taken away by Elche for the first time since 1975.
Originally, this round of Sevilla overturned, Real Madrid if it wins, it can extend the top advantage to 6 points, but I did not expect real Madrid to drop the chain itself.
This season, Real Madrid have beaten the top 8 in La Liga, successively overtaking the four direct competitors of Barca, Atletico, Sevilla and Betis. However, Real Madrid always capsized on the middle and lower teams, losing to Espanyol and Getafe, being forced to draw by Elche, and losing eight points in total.
Even more heartfelt is that Benzema left the field with a thigh injury, Vinicius received his fifth yellow card of the season, the next round of automatic suspension, and the suspense of la Liga title competition is back.
