Despite dominance in the game, especially in the first half, it took a long time for Real Madrid to pay dividends against Valladolid in La Liga's second round. Nevertheless, Zinedine Zidane had both Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez in the starting lineup. Both had several good chances but received no payout.
When Real, after 0-0 at the break, tried to increase the pressure forward, there were gaps in the back, but none of the teams had set their sights right this evening.
Only in the 82nd minute was Karim Benzema able to score 1-0 for the Madrid team on a low shot at the far post, his second goal of the season.
But just as Real Madrid looked to go against the second straight three-point, it was 3-1 against Celta Vigo in the premiere, Valladolid acknowledged through Sergio Guariola Navarro.
Despite six minutes of extra time, the result was 1-1.
