Rüdiger 'Save' to the Madrid in an abysmal party in front of in the Mallorca (1-0)

The Real Madrid added his first three points of the 2024 home (1-0). The combined white measured to a RCD Mallorca very solid in defence and that attained to bear the constant attacks of the cast merengue during 78 minutes. Nevertheless, the defender Antonio Rüdiger would mark that it would break the parity in the electronic. The 'Pirates', by his part, would be victims of the fault of forcefulness and luck in the rival area.

The collegiate Muñiz Ruiz pitó the beginning of the actions in Santiago Bernabéu, and from the silbatazo initial the duel began to tornarse quite contested to physical level. You grieve to the 10 seconds of the commitment already had fallen the first yellow card, since the defender of the RCD Mallorca Siebe Go der Heyden him propinó a hit in the face to Dani Carvajal.

From the infringement to the right side merengue, the crossing began to tornar relatively flowed. The local picture tried to execute an exit pulcra with balloon dominated from the bottom, and the cast bermellón treated of incomodar with an intense pressure in the frontal. Nevertheless, the white square devised them to him for sortear this pressure, and previous to the 13', had his first occasion of danger courtesy of Jude Bellingham, the one who with a head butt was very near of vulnerar the resistance of Rajkovic.

'Vini Jr.' It was the main offensive argument of the Madrid in the 1° times

The occasion of the English went to give foot to that the ones of Carlo Ancelotti envalentonaran and began to impose conditions in the party. First it would be Fede Valverde the one who desenfundaría a finish, which would not arrive to destination thanks to the intervention of a player of the square 'Pirate'. Later, in the minute 19, Vinícius Júnior took advantage of a big habilitation of Luka Modrić and received the spherical in the left band. It took out a finish of left-handed leg, crusader, that brushed the stick.

This played previous of fruitless goal of 'Vini Jr' gave indications that the Brazilian seems to have returned to his best level, starring no less than three occasions of danger in the first-half. Also it was stood out the participation of Rodrygo, the one who showed quite active and that would finish generating him a fright to his team in the minute 31 when it received a hard hit in the shoulder and was tended in the lawn during several minutes, although this incident would not trascend much more there.

The first time closed with 'controversial' by a possible 'goal ghost' of the Mallorca

The first-half concluded with a Real Madrid dumped entirely in search of the goal in front of the resistance of the Mallorca, that had Rajkovic like his hero in the first-half. The guardameta made a spectacular flown to divert a finish of Vinicius, the one who previously had made a played stood out with a pipe and a good dribbling. Nevertheless, the bermellones would not remain backwards and, being more discreet in his rushed forward, attained to generate danger in the minute 43 with a head butt of Antonio Sánchez that hit in the crossbar, bounced in the line and Lunin saved it in extremis. This 'no annotation' was not exenta of the controversy, since the visitors demanded aireadamente that could have been goal ghost, by the doubt of if the balloon happened or no completely the line of put.

The bermellones began to create greater danger in the second part

The beginning of the second half was practically the same that the end of the first. The cast merengue, from the minute 47, began to presionar in the rival area in front of a RCD Mallorca that opted for showing ordered in his saga and in some occasions 'rascando' some minutes, as taking out from the bottom. However, that would not be inconvenient to start with to detect the weaknesses of the picture of Chamartín in defence and his scarce capacity of pressure, even having occasions of danger with a larguerazo to the 54' by part of Samu Coast and to the 57' with a volley of Antonio Sánchez that it went above the portico of the white group.

The ones of Chamartín, to the 69', would have an opportunity inmejorable to go up in the marker. Nevertheless, it occurred something truly unusual, as after a first played where Rodrygo attained to demand to Rajkovic, the balloon remained rifado in the area. That was an occasion inmejorable for Brahim that with the totally free arch, launched in iron and finished crashing the spherical to the stick.

Antonio Rüdiger appeared to the rescue of the Real Madrid

Nevertheless, to the 75', the merengues went to be saved by a so much of the defender Antonio Rüdiger. The germano benefited of a very good sending of Luka Modrić to the area, where the ex of Chelsea did a big flight with which erigió on his markers and attained to hit with a precise head butt to the spherical, commanding it at the end of the networks and by the square, being this head butt truly inatajable for a Rajkovic that was intractable under the three sticks, but that could not contain this occasion.

From this, the Real Madrid would have a final alluvium in research of an annotation more than decorated the marker, having to Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham like protagonists of the actions in the finish of the commitment. When being so dumped in offensive in these final minutes, the merengues would neglect his retaguardia, generating like this an action in which it could arrive the parity of the Majorcan cast by means of a contragolpe. This occasion would finish being suffocated by Lucas Vásquez, putting like this the colophon to a day where the fortune was clearly of the side of the whites.
