Match report in news

  • 93'
    It's over! Real Madrid have scored three at Los Pajaritos but it's a very misleading scoreline after 90 minutes of evenly-matched football. Numancia will feel they were denied two clear penalties, which Real were awarded. Bale and Isco converted before Mayoral made it three late on.
