The Real Madrid players drew with Elche (2: 2) in the 22nd round of the Spanish LaLiga. Carlo Ancelotti’s team reached a draw, even though he was two goals behind with only ten minutes to go.
Real could have taken the lead in the 33rd minute, but Karim Benzema did not score a penalty. The guests were punished nine minutes later, the scorer was the Argentine Lucas Boye, assisted by Fidel for 1: 0.
Serbian national team player Luka Jovic got a chance in the 58th minute when Carlo Ancelotti replaced Benzema. However, even that did not bring a novelty in the game of the “Royal Club”, which did not manage to equalize.
He played in the 76th minute when Elche doubled the advantage. This time, the scorer of the first goal, Lucas Boye, was in the role of assistant, and Pere Milla “shook” the net.
Everything looked as if the guests would take all three points from the “Santiago Bernabeu”, but Real managed to get to the point. First, in the 82nd minute, Modric halved the advantage of the guests from the penalty spot, and then Eder Militao, with the assistance of Vinicius Jr., brought a draw to the home team.
After this draw, Real is still first on the LaLiga table with four points more than Sevilla’s first runner-up, and Elche is in 15th place, but without defeat in the last four matches.
The “Royal Club” will meet Granada in the next round, while Alaves will visit Elche.
