In a match that saw both teams play defensively, Real Madrid Club de Fútbol (RCD) emerged victorious over Almería CF. The match was played at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu and lasted for 90 minutes without any goals being scored.
The first half of the game was dominated by RCD, who created several opportunities to score but were unable to convert them into goals. However, they managed to take the lead early on through a penalty kick from Karim Benzema. This goal gave them the momentum they needed to continue playing well and dominate the second half.
Almería, on the other hand, struggled to create any chances of their own and were largely contained by RCD's defense. Despite their efforts, they were unable to find the back of the net despite several attempts on goal.
Despite the defensive nature of the match, RCD still had plenty of chances to extend their lead. They were able to do so when Marcelo scored a stunning goal from outside the box in the 78th minute. His shot deflected off the crossbar and into the net, giving RCD a comfortable lead.
The win is a much-needed boost for RCD as they look to bounce back after a disappointing performance against Atlético Madrid in their previous match. The victory also gives them some breathing room in the top four of La Liga, where they currently sit.
Overall, it was a defensive match between two teams looking to keep things tight. However, RCD proved to be too strong for Almería, securing a hard-fought victory that will give them confidence going forward.
