94'FT: Celta 1-3 RM!! All over at Balaidos and RM take the points!! Benzema scored twice in the first half and Mina pulled one back before HT. In the second half, Celta tried to level, but they hardly threatened the Madrid goal. The closest they came was when Aspas hit the post from an non-existent free-kick. Then, Asensio sealed the points with a goal right on full time.
Goaaaaaal!

84 'Celta double sub: Beltran on for Mendez and Ferreyra for Murillo.
-
82'Off the post!!! Aspas hits it and the ball strikes the post!!! The ball touched Casemiro and it's a corner. That would've have been controversial had it gone in as it was never a free-kick.
-
81 'Modric is cautioned for a foul on the Celta man when the Croatian clears the ball and he bumps into the Celta player. A nonsense decision. Never a free-kick.

Yellow card
a Celta
-
78 'Free-kick to RM after a pull back by Solari and D Suarez. A yellow card is given to Suarez.

-
76'Still 1-2 and it doesn't look like Celta will find an equaliser, to be honest.
-
73'RM get another corner, but nothing comes of it.

45'HT: Celta 1-2 RM!! Half-time in Vigo and RM have been better, but Celta haven't been dominated. Benzema put RM ahead on 20 minutes when Celta had picked up.
