On Wednesday evening, the postponed 21st round match of the Spanish "La Liga" finally took place.
Madrid's "Real" club took a firm step towards the championship title. Zinedine Zidane's team won 4-1 against Vigo's "Celta" and returned to the top of the tournament table.
"Celta" tried to show their strength in the first half, but Cristiano Ronaldo scored a crucial goal for "Real" in the 10th minute, with a great strike from 20 meters.
Throughout the remaining time, Vigo's team played more actively than their opponents, but Keylor Navas managed to keep their goal safe. In the 48th minute, C. Ronaldo increased the lead of the "White" team to two goals after a great assist from Isco.
It seemed like everything was clear in this match, but "Celta" continued to demonstrate aggressive play. However, in the 62nd minute, the home team was reduced to ten men - Iago Aspas received his second yellow card for simulation. This incident raised many doubts - a penalty kick should not have been awarded, but I. Aspas' dismissal was a strict referee's decision.
However, "Celta" did not give up even with ten men - John Guidetti scored a goal in the 69th minute, but in the next attack, Karim Benzema restored the two-goal advantage, and Toni Kroos sealed the deal at the end of the match.
The finish of the Spanish championship is on Sunday. "Real," leading the table, has a 3-point advantage over "Barcelona," and in the final round, they just need to play a draw against "Malaga."
Result:
"Celta" 1 - 4 "Real Madrid" 10' [0 - 1] C. Ronaldo 48' [0 - 2] C. Ronaldo 69' [1 - 2] J. Guidetti 70' [1 - 3] K. Benzema 88' [1 - 4] T. Kroos 62' I. Aspas (Celta) sent off
