On Saturday, the battles of the 4th round of the Spanish "La Liga" continued.
At the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, Madrid's "Real" sought to break the streak of draws in matches against Valencia's "Levante". The "white team" started the match powerfully and had to fight for three points at the end of the game.
The first half was fantastic for the "Real" team. In the 25th minute, Karim Benzema put the hosts ahead, and a few minutes later he scored the second goal, which gave them a solid advantage.
The first half was crowned with another goal for the Madrid team - after a pass from Vinicius Junior, Casemiro sent the ball to the "Levante" goal, making the result crushing.
It seemed that the Madrid team only had to take care of formalities, but in the second half, "Levante" showed real character.
In the 49th minute, Borja Mayoral, who belongs to the "Real" club, saddened the "white" fans by reducing the deficit to two goals.
"Levante" continued to exploit gaps in the "Real" defense - in the 75th minute, Gonzalo Melero scored another goal after a set-piece, and the Madrid team found themselves in a dangerous zone.
Zinedine Zidane, who decided not to strengthen the defense, was forced to pull his hair in the last minutes when an equalizer was narrowly avoided - Thibaut Courtois made a great reaction to stop the opponent's header.
In the 60th minute, Eden Hazard made his debut for "Real", and Eder Militao also appeared in an official match for the first time.
