Real Valladolid managed to score in Santiago Barnabeu after 18 long years of not doing so. The point will be celebrated a lot for them, above all for the way in which they produced it, with the team overcoming Benzema's goal and drawing at the last minute.
The meeting saw two protagonists on the visiting side. Sergio designed the plan and another Sergio - in this case Sergi executed it. A day to remember for both, decisive for the point of those of Ronaldo.
Sergio Gonzalez's plan was clear from the start. The team put up with as much as they could in the first half, delivering the ball almost every time to the oponent. Just a couple of dangerous approaches had them worried in the first half.
The opposition, Real Madrid who tested Valladolid in all ways, although with little success. The plan was going perfectly for Real Valladolid.
The game was very different after half time. Sergio ordered the team to take a step forward and Sergi began receiving and generating a lot of danger against kickback. The Valldolid goal did not come before because in front was another Sergio, Ramos, who stopped them.
The Madrid central gave a whole class of how to abort superiorities to the backlash thanks to an excellent placement. He thus avoided up to two clear hands-on hand of the Castilians ... and Sergi Guardiola accentuated his prominence in the match by not hitting a clear shot that seemed destined for Enes Ünal.
Everything seemed to be ruined for Valladolid after Benzema's goal. But the team was very much involved in the game and, finally, Sergi Guardiola was able to have a shot and score a goal. A match that none of the Sergios will forget.
