It's halftime at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Spanish La Liga game between reigning champions Real Madrid and Girona with Luka Modric's spectacular effort separating the two teams. The home team dominated the first half but struggled to break Girona's resilience until the 41st minute when the Croatia national team captain scored a golazo to give Real Madrid the lead before halftime. Real Madrid needs to win this game to keep their hopes of overtaking league leaders Barcelona alive and leading 1:0 at halftime against Girona, I think they should be able to snatch a victory at full time.
What a spectacular volley from Luka Modric, I really wasn't expecting that volley from him. Jude Bellingham had to exclaim "Wow" before he started clapping from the stans.
Both team is separated from each other by that goal as you said, it's 55 minutes on the clock now and we hope to see more goals from this game.
Luka Modric scored a great goal. He put his team ahead with a great shot from long range. Real Madrid is having a hard time doing what they want in this match, but Luka Modric saved his team from this difficult situation. Minute 62 and Real Madrid is leading 1-0. We want more goals in the match, but Real Madrid cannot break Girona's resistance. Maybe if they score the second goal, Girona's resistance will be broken, but for now Girona played well.
Real Madrid does not want to lose points in this match while they have the same points as Barcelona, so not conceding a goal in the remaining minutes may be their priority.
