Xabi Alonso's goal allowed Madrid's "Real" team to secure a draw in the first match of the Spanish Super Cup tournament against the "Barcelona" club.
The hosts, who dominated for a long time, took the lead in the 13th minute when Mesut Ozil sent the ball into the net.
The usual passing game of the Catalans got stuck, but individual skill not only leveled the score but also turned it around - in the first half, David Villa and Lionel Messi did just that.
However, "Real" avoided defeat when Alonso scored in the 54th minute.
Nevertheless, before the return leg on August 17th, "Barcelona" gained an advantage due to two away goals. Additionally, in the upcoming match, Cesc Fabregas can step onto the field for the first time wearing the jersey of the Spanish champions, as he will soon put pen to paper on a contract.
Madrid's "Real" 2 - 2 "Barcelona"
13' [1 - 0] M.Ozil
36' [1 - 1] D.Villa
45' [1 - 2] L.Messi
54' [2 - 2] X.Alonso
