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.
Although in this match Madrid was able to win 3 points with a convincing final score of 2-0. However, the goals scored in this match were still unable to catch up with the goal difference owned by Barcelona. And until now Barcelona has a difference of 42 goals with a record of 67 goals and 25 conceded, while for Real Madrid itself has a difference of 31 goals with a record of 54 goals and 23 conceded. So for now Real Madrid must give up its top position to be taken over again by Barcelona.
In another match, Real Betis VS Getafe was also presented with a score of 2-1, a victory for Real Betis. In this match thanks to the assist given by Antony to Isco, right in the 18th minute Real Betis was able to take an early lead over Getafe, while for Real Betis' second goal it was again scored by Isco through a penalty given to Betis, before finally Getafe managed to narrow the gap in the 82nd minute which made the score 2-1. But it is very unfortunate when the match is almost over, both teams have to lose one of their players, which makes Real Betis and Getafe finish the match with 10 people. The most unlucky is from the Real Betis camp, because the one who got a red card was the goat Antony, so for the next few matches we will not see Antony's appearance in La Liga, even though Antony is currently one of the important players for Real Betis.
