0-2 | Nacho and Asensio decide in Cádiz
Real Madrid entered the match against a very serious Cadiz at the back from the start. With a very incisive Rodrygo and a Benzema, who opened the chances counter, the Cadiz players were able to respond to the constant attacks with a great low cross shot from Pacha Espino that crashed into the woodwork.
The madridistas dominated possession, although during the first half, the forces would even out in the face of the defensive solidity of the yellow team. In the final minutes, a shot by Rodrygo inside the area was repelled by David Gil, who played a spectacular game. After this action, Gil Manzano would decree the way to the locker room with the scoreboard tied at 0-0.
The second half started with Ancelotti's team turning on the Cadista area, combining dangerously in the vicinity of the area and trying to find the gap between the local defenders. Sergio Gonzalez's team, meanwhile, withstood the onslaught until a long-range shot by Nacho Fernandez opened the scoring for the Madrid side.
It was the 72nd minute when Nacho scored the zero to one and, four minutes later, Asensio broke into the area to beat David Gil and increase the distance for the Whites on the scoreboard. The Cadistas, far from giving up, looked for the goal with different actions from both wings.
In the end, although the Yellows tried with shots from Negredo, Espino and Théo Bongonda, the result would not budge and the three points would travel to Madrid.
