El Clasico Plays Out as an Entertaining Draw in First Leg of Copa Del Rey Semi-final
A detailed review of the Barcelona vs. Real Madrid match…
On Wednesday evening Barcelona and Real Madrid faced each other at Camp Nou in the first leg the Copa Del Rey semi-final.
The match started with a bang when Lucas Vazquez put the visitors 1-0 up after just six minutes. He finished nicely from close range after an impressive build-up from the young Vinicius Junior, who put the ball in the box allowing Benzema to skillfully set up an easy chance for Vazquez. The next period of the game saw a sustained Barca pressure with Luis Suarez and the like, having plenty of chances and forcing numerous impressive saves from Madrid’s keeper Keylor Navas. Barcelona came extremely close to equalising when Ivan Rakitić’s header hit the bar after a nice delivery from Malcom’s free kick. The game then became very back and forth with both sides having opportunities. Vinicius Junior missed a few chances for Madrid while Barca forced Navas to make save after save. Eventually, the half-time whistle went with Madrid leading 1-0 at the break.
The first leg ended in a deserved 1-1 draw with both sides having chances to grab a win. Madrid will be satisfied taking this result away from Camp Nou and will feel confident regarding the overall cup tie with the second leg being played in Madrid. Man of the match has to either be Real Madrid’s exciting Brazilian winger, Vinicius Junior, for his darting runs and role in setting up his team’s goal or their keeper, Keylor Navas, for making so many challenging saves. Without these two it would have been a very different game for Madrid and Barcelona would likely have come away with the win.
