Real Madrid v Osasuna, La Liga 2020/21, 1/5/2021, matchday 34 - Official line-ups. BESOCCER
Join us for live coverage of the La Liga clash between Real Madrid and Osasuna from the Alfredo di Stefano stadium. Madrid can reduce the gap to Atletico again to two points while Osasuna are in mid-table.
FT: Real Madrid 2-0 Osasuna!! All over in Madrid and Zidane's side take home a deserved three points. Herrera kept Osasuna in the game in the first half and even though RM were less dangerous in the second half, they were always on top. A Militao header and a Casemiro deflection in the last 15 minutes gave them victory. Osasuna just had a couple of chances in the whole game and rarely threatened Courtois.
92'
Benzema goes into the area, but nothing comes of it.
Casemiro makes it 2-0 in slightly fortuitous fashion perhaps!! Benzema drives forward and gets into the D and Casemiro touches it with the foot and it goes into the goal!! Herrera is very slow to react, but Casemiro maybe wanted to deflect that towards goal! Not certain.
Militao scores for RM!!! Isco's corner finds Militao at the back post and it's headed into the goal! He'd been trying to score from every set piece and he's finally managed it!! He's actually been better going forward then in defence tonight!
One of the subs in the stands for Osasuna also sees yellow for something he said, it seems. Oier is the man in the book and will miss the trip to San Mames.
RM attack, but are exposed on the counter, it's 4 v 2, but the counter is far too slow. Moncayola had a shot from distance which is stopped by Courtois and that was not the best counter you'll see.
51'
RM lose the ball and Blanco cynically fouls Javi Martinez, but doesn't get booked. Lucky, in my view.
48'
Herrera is being warned by the referee for timewasting. No card for now.
HT: Real Madrid 0-0 Osasuna!! Half-time at the Di Stefano and Madrid should be winning this. Osasuna had an Avila chance early on and then the same player had a goal disallowed right on HT, but otherwise, they've done little in attack. Herrera has kept Osasuna in this with some fine saves to deny Militao and Hazard. Good first half by RM, but they just need the goal. Back shortly!
45'
Asensio wins the corner, but the 45 minutes are up! Half-time!
Goal disallowed
45'
Avila scores for Osasuna, but the flag's up!!! Sanchez's cross into the box is headed home by Avila, but the linesman correctly spots he's offside! Good decision. Didn't need the VAR.
44'
It looks this will be goalless at the interval.
41'
Osasuna get a free-kick after Benzema fouls Aridane.
39'
Osasuna send a ball to the back post and Militao heads away.
37'
Few chances in the last minutes, something Osasuna will appreciate.
33'
Asensio passes to Vinicius and he hits the side-netting.
30'
Shots: 10-1.
29'
Militao!! Blanco's ball in is headed by Militao and it's comfortable for Herrera.
26'
Another tremendous stop by Herrera!! The ball into the box is headed by Militao and Herrera knocks over! The Osasuna GK is being kept busy!
26'
Hazard!!! Quality save by Herrera!!! Marcelo's ball in picks out the Belgian and the shot into the ground is tipped over!
25'
Lovely backheel by Hazard to get Asensio who gets the corner.
24'
Benzema goes for the volley and he miscues it wide!
23'
Good save by Courtois!!! Avila passes to Sanchez on the by-line and his cross curls towards goal and the GK has to make a fine stop.
22'
RM take the free-kick short and it comes to nothing.
21'
Militao put his hands to his head immediately after the pass knowing he had messed up, but fortunately, the GK was able to get back.
19'
What is Militao doing??? Has he not learnt from Chakla against Barca??? Courtois passes the ball to him and Militao hits a wild GOALBOUND pass towards his own goal with the Belgian miles out of his goal and Courtois sprints back to clear off the line. Ridiculous play.
17'
Osasuna get a free-kick, but the set piece goes into Courtois' hands.
16'
RM definitely better, but apart from the save from Hazard from a tight angle, they haven't had any on target.
15'
Asensio!!! He has a pop from 25 yards and it goes just over the goal!
13'
Casemiro goes for goal from his own half from inside the centre-circle!!! His effort goes over the crossbar though!
10'
Osasuna threaten again, but Moncayola's cross is poor.
9'
Madrid lose the ball outside their own box and Avila0s effort is straight at the keeper!
7'
RM are the better team here so far, but Osasuna go forward now and the cross is blocked by Marcelo.
5'
Benzema passes for Hazard on the by-line, his shot is saved by Herrera from a tight angle and Vinicius and Asensio couldn't turn the ball in!
3'
Hazard!!! The Belgian gets the ball near the halfway line and runs until he gets inside the D and then fires wide!
3'
Quiet start to this one so far.
1'
Osasuna get us going from left to right in the red while RM are in white!
