Real Madrid vs. Levante – Spanish La Liga Review (Part 3)
The German midfielder had the opportunity to find the back of the net from inside the penalty area but his effort only managed to find the safe hands of Gustavo Munua who was having an extraordinary night while stopping goals – except the blunder he
pulled off during the first half.
With Real Madrid tired of trying to find the back of the net, the tempo of the game began to slow down a bit. The home team were busy wasting time as they were already at a two goal advantage and the game was totally a one sided affair. Levante were
barely taking their chances on goal and with five men committed to the back line of the visiting side, there were no expectations from the visitors to score.
With Real Madrid losing interest in the game and trying to possess the ball more, Levante were able to take advantage and finally created their first chance. It was during the 63rd minute when Real Madrid lost concentration
on the pitch and the visitors took advantage of it. It was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815
suspended it was Adan who stood between the poles for Real Madrid and it was for the second time that he featured during a game and managed to keep a clean sheet.
With the game about to end, Real Madrid looked to be in total control. Levante barely created any chances throughout the game and rather than going for the goal they tried to save themselves from an 8-0 embarrassment that they faced during the Copa
del Rey. The bottom of the table side found it really hard to get the ball behind Real Madrid’s back four and they only managed to create one chance throughout the game that could find the back of the net.
There was last minute action during the game. Jose Mourinho decided to bring on the former Manchester City striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526 during the dying moments of the game. The Togolese striker found the back of the net during the 92nd minute
but it was ruled out. The move started with the help of the German midfielder Mesut Ozil who made a wonderful run from the midfield. The German youngster got past three Levante players and gave a wonderful pass towards Emanuel Adebayor. The on-loan Real Madrid
striker found the back of the net but the Portuguese captain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 came in the way and touched the ball. Ronaldo was waved offside by the sideline referee as he stole Adebayor’s third goal for his new team.
With Real Madrid getting crucial three points, they managed to keep the pressure on Barcelona who are only two points above Real Madrid now and are to play a tough fixture against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Athletic-Club-c38535 on Sunday. Real Madrid’s next fixture is going to be away
from home as they are going to face Deportivo La Coruna.
