On Wednesday evening in Saudi Arabia, the first semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup took place. For the first time, a tournament in a new format organized outside the country brought together the "Valencia" and Madrid "Real" clubs.
From the very beginning of the match, Zinedine Zidane's students dominated and achieved an easy victory with a score of 3:1, securing their place in the final.
Starting the match with five defenders, Z. Zidane did not disappoint - "Real" had complete control of the ball and gained an advantage as early as the 15th minute. "Valencia" goalkeeper was caught off guard by Toni Kroos, who made an impressive shot from a corner kick.
In the 39th minute, "Real" increased their advantage through Isco, and Luka Modric sealed the victory in the middle of the second half with a precise shot.
At the end of the match, "Valencia" scored a consolation goal from the penalty spot, but it didn't change anything - last season's King's Cup winners bid farewell to the tournament.
On Sunday, the Madrid team will face the winner of the other semi-final - either "Barcelona" or Madrid "Atletico" club.
Result:
"Valencia" 1 - 3 "Real Madrid" 15' [0 - 1] T. Kroos 39' [0 - 2] Isco 65' [0 - 3] L. Modric 90+2' [1 - 3] D. Parejo (penalty)
