Atlético Levels the Tie, Real Madrid Concedes a Goal in 30 Seconds

The match couldn't have started worse for Real Madrid. Gallagher has scored the 1-0 for the match, which means a 2-2 in the tie.

The good thing is that it's very early, and Ancelotti's team has the whole match to straighten things out. However, the team's defensive complacency will surely have consequences regardless of the result. A problem that has persisted throughout the season up to today.

It took the home team 30 seconds to already put the score in their favor due to a total oversight by the team. Once again, the defense seems to be the main issue for the team in this second leg. Another one for Ancelotti, who can't quite hit the mark.

In Trouble Again

The white team has come out extremely uncomfortable to the match, to the point of wasting the first 30 seconds of it. In a very poorly defended play by the merengue defenders, the colchoneros managed to get ahead on the scoreboard.

The lack of decisiveness by Raúl Asencio, along with Valverde's lack of effectiveness, allowed the opponent's goal. However, being such an early goal, they still have the whole match to equalize and win overall.

Ancelotti is now starting to mobilize the tactics a bit to favor his team toward the goal. However, they will have to give 200% of what they expected to contribute for this match. Something that will surely take a toll in the league if the wear is too much in case of going to extra time.
