In the Spanish "La Liga" championship, four more matches of the 8th round were played on Saturday. Sensationally, the match unfolded at the "Alaves" club fortress - experiencing a drought of goals, Madrid's "Real" sought to retaliate at the opponents' stadium, but "Alaves" not only successfully defended themselves, but also extended an unexpected victory in the last moments of the match - 1:0. For Madrid's "Real" team, scoring goals in this duel was like drinking water - in the last three matches, during which they did not achieve a single victory, no goals were scored. From the start of the match, the "Whites" pressured their opponents, but "Alaves" defended compactly in their area and dangerously escaped into quick counterattacks. In the second half, "Alaves" started playing even more densely on their half of the field, and Madrid's "Real" also failed to find loopholes in the opponent's defense. The minutes passed and "Alaves" got an unexpected chance to score in the final moments of the match - a corner kick was awarded near the "Real" goal. The hosts' attempt ended with a sensational goal - Manu Garcia found the ball flying towards the goal and joyfully pleased the entire stadium with a precise strike. Madrid's "Real" no longer had time to retaliate and had to settle for a second failure in the last four days. Julen Lopetegui's charges are now goalless for about 7 hours. After the defeat, the "royal" club remains in second place, but after this round, they could drop even to seventh place. In other matches, "Eibar" defeated "Girona" away, Madrid's "Getafe" suffered a defeat from Valencia's "Levante", and "Leganes" proved superiority against "Rayo Vallecano" at home.
