Real Madrid on Sunday night turned the score around and ends up winning its first win after dominating the 1-2 game over Almeria FC in day one of the 2022/23 La Liga season.
The home team Almeria shocked Real in the first 6 minutes of the match. Largie Ramjani scored a wonderful goal in his own ground at the Power Horse Stadium. The ball comes to him at the top of the Madrid defense. The Belgian forward shook the net after one touch.
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti made 5 changes from the Champions League and UEFA Super Cup winning match. His team also created a lot of pressure on the hosts in the first half out of confidence. But they were repeatedly disappointed by Almeria goalkeeper Fernando Martinez.
However, they got the equaliser before the break. But Lucas Vazquez’s goal was ruled out for offside. The host Almeria can hold the lead until the break.
After that, the edge of the attack increases mainly for a few hours. Vinicius Junior ran fast and missed the first attempt, but Vesquez scored from close range on the next chance.
Ancelotti brought David Alaba on with 15 minutes left. The result can be felt immediately. The former Bayern Munich star made a full impact as a substitute of Ferland Mendy and scored a great goal from a free kick in the 75th minute to make Real’s score 2-1.
“We expected to have to dig in here, even more so when we made life difficult for ourselves with a defensive error we could have avoided.” Ancelotti said.
“We struggled from then on. They defended very well, we had a lot of shots on goal and once the first one went in, things got easier.” the Italian manager added.
