Real Madrid to round pristine

Real Madrid was a direct witness to the elimination of Ajax while confirming his move to second round as Group D leader in the first phase of the Champions League. It was a game where the targets, with the head start in the next stake league, came out with an eleven of circumstances. His rival, Frank de Boer set, they played their future is in the top domestic competition, and although clearly was hurt by the decisions of the referee, in the end lacked ambition to add, at least one goal.

With Adam in goal and players like Varane, Sahin, Barn or alley in the starting lineup, the best of the whites was, again, the exespanyolista. The midfielder, as happened with Dynamo Zagreb, scored two of the three goals conceded Vermeer and has become the Spanish player Madrid template most goals (five) has scored this season. Mourinho, though, not dispensed with the two reference rams, Benzema and Higuain. The first was very sharp, while the latter scored the second of many visitors.

The cold water was received by the audience occupying Dutch towns Coliseum. Within a quarter hour Alley defined the perfection an attendance of Kaka. Not that it was the best of the whites in terms of game, but in terms of effectiveness ... and luck. Because the goal minutes later the squad, and after a fine solo run from Benzema, the collegiate Portuguese De Souza, through his assistant, annulled a legal target than Lodeiro, which crowned with the head and nonexistent offside , a rebound of Adam Van der Wiel shot.

Not lower the arms of Frank de Boer, who were again affected when five minutes later a long-range shot bounced Anita Sulejmani's chest, which turned the leather so that the goalkeeper did not reach target. However, again the braid understood that the position of Ajax player was not legal and override again could have been a draw. Somehow, nothing happened, because for the fall eliminated Ajax had to lose ... and the Lyon goleara Dinamo Zagreb.

But either the planets were aligned or a curse fell upon the Dutch. Higuain, before the break, the second to delay signing the dilemma of their coach before the classic and meanwhile, the tie in Zagreb between Dinamo and one favoring the interests of Lyon Ajax ... for a moment. And the Gauls, with one more player on the green check mark and began to loudly. When the Ajax wanted to realize, too late. Klaassen and Bulykin entered, but endured less common outcome.

Pedro Mendes, a defender born in Switzerland but with Portuguese nationality, was released in the second half for his first team debut in a competitive match. He stayed with the desire Jesse, one of the hopes of the factory as a deputy saw Castle snatched the opportunity for the inconvenience of Arbeloa. However, it also took to the field Xabi Alonso (surprising having in play almost anything) and Altintop. Sahin, owner, was earning level, its competition was not a highlight.

Finally, with an Ajax expert on what was happening in Croatia, was losing steam and while Sulejmani sent a shot into the crossbar in the second half, was again a move identical to the first goal, but this time with a perfect pass Xabi to Alley, which finish off those of De Boer. The premises, the Europa League after a day with unexpected outcome and Madrid, pure, adding threes in the first phase, expected rival for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
