"In the Spanish La Liga championship, the last four matches of the second round were played on Sunday. The last football match did not disappoint the viewers - Madrid's "Real" hosted "Valencia" at home. Zinedine Zidane's protégés were unable to beat the "Bats" and lost important points already in the second round of the championship. In these matches, the "Whites" had problems - in addition to the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, injuries and disqualifications of three center-backs also occurred. In this match, the central defensive duo was supposed to be formed by holding midfielder Casemiro alongside Nacho. However, despite these problems, the hosts broke through in the 10th minute, taking advantage of the opponent's mistake, Marco Asensio scored a great shot from outside the penalty area, beating the opponent's goalkeeper. However, "Valencia" found a response for the capital team - in the 18th minute, Carlos Soler perfectly executed a chance created by his teammate and equalized the score. Throughout the first half, "Real" had numerous chances to take the lead, but Karim Benzema, who missed a number of excellent opportunities, failed to score a goal throughout the entire match. In the second half, the champions of the country pressed their opponents, but in the 77th minute they were harshly punished - Geoffrey Kondogbia once again forced Keylor Navas to pull the ball out of his goal. However, the struggling "Real" did not give up, and in the 83rd minute, M. Asensio equalized the score with a penalty. In the final minutes of the match, the hosts dominated, but K. Benzema, who could have extended the dramatic victory, failed to score a precise shot into the goal from just a few meters away. "Real" had to settle for a draw after their victory in the first round. "Barcelona", "Real Sociedad", and "Leganes" are currently the only teams that have not lost points. Other matches ended with victories for Bilbao's "Athletic", Leganes, and Sevilla. Results: "Real Madrid" 2 - 2 "Valencia" 10' [1 - 0] M. Asensio 18' [1 - 1] C. Soler 77' [1 - 2] G.
