Bellingham scored the winning goal against Valencia in the dying seconds.
It was an emotional match! Real Madrid defeated Valencia 2-1 last Friday, the 3rd, at the Mestalla Stadium, in a postponed game from the 12th round of La Liga. The goals were scored by Perales for the home team, and by Luka Modric and Jude Bellingham for the visitors. Uncover top football updates at scoreapp.
Although it was a postponed game, the match marked the return of La Liga after the year-end break – this weekend, the round 20 games will take place. Rested, both teams sought the game, and it was Valencia who took the lead with Perales at the 26th minute of the first half. What seemed difficult became even harder after Vinícius Júnior was sent off for hitting goalkeeper Dimitrievski at the 32nd minute of the second half.
Before that, Bellingham had missed a penalty at the 9th minute of the second half, making the game even more dramatic for Real Madrid. But with Vini Jr.’s red card, Carlo Ancelotti’s star shone. The Italian coach decided to take out Ceballos and replaced him with Modric. And it was from Modric’s feet that the equalizer came at the 40th minute.
In injury time, defender Guillamón made a wrong back-pass to the goalkeeper, and Bellingham, quick to react, took advantage to seal a very important victory for the Merengues. With the result, the capital team temporarily took the lead with 43 points in 19 games. Atlético Madrid, who plays this weekend, has 41 points in 18 matches and can reclaim the lead. Valencia, on the other hand, continues with a disastrous campaign: just two wins in 18 games, a record that leaves them in second-to-last place in the competition. Stay ahead with BB Score.
