Nacho scores a winning goal for Real Madrid to beat Athletic Club by 1-0.Â
Real Madrid beats Athletic Club: Real Madrid was forced to struggle by Athletic Bilbao in the La Liga match which was held at San Mames, Sunday (16/5/2021). In the end, Zinedine Zidane’s club came out as winners by a narrow score of 1-0.
The first 10 minutes were adorned with a scene in which the ball was mostly controlled by Real Madrid players. However, the club’s status as a guest has not produced a dangerous opportunity against Bilbao.
The situation lasted quite a while. Madrid also looked quite frustrated that Federico Valverde tried to open a shot from great distance in the 22nd minute. Having said that, the shots are not impressive.
Real Madrid just got a pretty good chance before the first half ended. Vinicius Junior fired the bait towards Rodrygo. The chances of a goal being created are quite high had Unai Simon not cut the bait.

In the end, the 0-0 position lasted until halftime. It’s a tough task for Zinedine Zidane to convince players to score goals. Because if the score lasts until the end of the match, Real Madrid is in danger of going down to third place.
Second round
Sadly, the same situation was seen at the start of the second half. The ball is still often at the feet of Los Merengues players, but golden opportunities are rarely born from the action of the Spanish giant attackers.
In the 61st minute, Real Madrid finally got a golden opportunity. They should have been in the lead if the midfielder Casemiro’s shot didn’t hit the post. Too bad!
The goal he had been waiting for finally arrived. In the 68th minute, Nacho managed to break the deadlock for Los Merengues with an assist from Casemiro. Real Madrid while winning with a score of 1-0.
Red card! After conceding, Bilbao immediately reacted and chased after the equalizer. The struggle got harder because Raul Garcia was sent off with a red card in the 89th minute.
