(Laliga 2023/2024): Highlights RAYO VALLECANO - REAL MADRID

What solution could be to go back to basics, to the Ira Ola style, to put in more crushes, which they have been doing, to be more high tempo, to make less mistakes, to be more effective. A lot of things that Inigo Pérez is going to have to try to sort out. We'll see how they can manage that against Anraio, failing to make the most of what looked a very promising position, and now they're under threat as Brahim finds Valverde, two in the middle, And there is confirmation, the goal does stand, and José Lu now can celebrate. And what a counter-attack it was from Real Madrid. Here's Lucas Vázquez as they continue to threaten a second goal. Did that go out? It's headed in by José Lu, but now... Now Espino into the area, cuts it back, and Trejo has it in contact with his bar official, and now he's been told to go and have a look, and we know what that normally means. It is going to be a penalty. Confirmation, penalty awarded, Anraio having to be taking duties, and he'll try to equalize, and he does, justifying his confidence by thrashing it home. He needed that, and in this game, certainly causes some problems before Tramani gets onto it, but then played back in, and it's RDT trying to turn, lays it back, Trejo straight at Lunin, and Real Madrid having to weather some serious pressure here. Towards the far post, Aredane away, Valverde! And I think that struck the post, what a strike from Fede Valverde. The only club in Europe's top five league not to do so, and here is Alvaro Garcia with the run, trying to score inside the near post, and again it's that left-hand side that is causing most of the problems. Real Madrid get it back with Tramani under pressure, losing it, Alvaro with the chance, but Tramani making up for his initial error by... And not much in the second half. It's Brahim trying to change that lovely turn, and the pass for Jose Lu, who has it saved by Dmitriyevsky, sitting on the ball, but just as... And it will be Kroos going for goal, and forcing the save from Dmitriyevsky, flying to his left. Real Madrid going for midweeks, and this one isn't over yet, as Carvajal comes forward, and he wants to shoot on target, but safe hands from Carvajal though. It's fouled, and now Carvajal, did he retaliate there? He was pulled back, without doubt, by Kike, who should be booked for it, and now he blows the final whistle, and it is all over, and Real have got themselves a deserved point on the coaching debut of Ingo Pérez. Yeah, he'll be happy with that, and that will stay forever in his curriculum. Clearly Real Madrid started the game well.
