Real Madrid 3 Vs Pachuca 1 FT
The Spanish giants started off shaky and were almost overrun by the opponent with shots but not in ball possession. Raul Asencio was sent off early in the game, around the 7th minutes after kickoff. Pachacu looked like the team that would win because of their numerous dangerous attacks but Real Madrid opened the scoring through Jude Bellingham in the 34th minute and it wasn't long before Guler made it 2 - 0 before half time. Second half was another series of shotz that Real Madrid goalkeeper had to repeal but still conceded a goal.

Madrid showed their level as an elite team, even though Raul Asencio got a red card, they still managed to win. With a more dominant ball possession strategy, Madrid was able to dictate the course of the match, although they did not create many opportunities. Xabi Alonso team only managed to release three shots on target, all three of which became goals. This shows that they have more quality players, with a few opportunities they managed to convert them perfectly. Courtois performed impressively, he is one of the keys to Madrid success in winning today. I think, Xabi Alonso is very happy with the victory, because it was his first since taking over from Ancelotti.
