Earlier tonight, Real Madrid took on Arandina at El Montecillo in an attempt to win the Copa del Rey. Despite having a strong start to the match, Los Blancos were held to a scoreless tie at the interval.
In the 54th minute, Joselu broke the tie with a penalty kick, and a minute later, Brahim Diaz extended Real Madrid’s lead. Rodrygo put an end to the match during injury time. But Real Madrid won easily 3-1 on the road thanks to an unlucky own goal from Nacho in the last seconds of play.
GK: 6.10 Kepa Arrizabalaga
The Spaniard would be extremely frustrated after giving up a goal so late in the game that wrecked his hopes of keeping a clean sheet. He didn’t have to make any saves during the match.
RB: 7/10 for Vinicius Tobias
He was adept with the ball and maintained discipline when defending inside his half.
CB: 7/10 for Alvaro Carrillo
Carrilo was strong in the air and put on a mature display in the defensive third of the pitch.
CB: Nacho – 5/10
He played great defense for the majority of the game, but he won’t be pleased with himself for giving up a late own goal.
Fran Garcia, LB: 6/10
Though he struggled to have an impact on the game moving forward, he occasionally exploited his agility successfully on the left flank.
CM: 7.5/10 Eduardo Camavinga
After an hour, Camavinga was replaced, having solidly anchored the middle.
CM: 7/10 for Dani Ceballos
Positive effects could be seen from the Spaniard on both ends of the field.
Nico Paz: 5.5/10 on RW
He had a difficult time getting into the swing of things and gave a dull effort in the other team’s half.
CAM: 6.5/10 Arda Guler
Guler was energetic when playing the ball, yet he occasionally appeared rusty.
LW: 8.5/10 Brahim Diaz
After being quiet for the first half, Diaz came up with a game-winning performance in the second. Tonight, he contributed to both of Real Madrid’s goals and scored one himself.
Joselu, ST: 6.5/10
He scored from the penalty spot to give Los Blancos the crucial advantage. In any other case, Joselu didn’t provide much.
Substitutes:
ST: Rodrygo – 7/10
Rodrygo scored in injury time.
CM: Federico Valverde – 6/10
His impact on the game was minimal.
CM: Mario Martin – 7/10
