Finally a conclusion of the Machín troupe! Morente pulls from the left corner of the penalty area in the direction of the middle and stops from 18 meters – just over it.
86

Tooor for Real Madrid, 4-0 through Luka Modrić
The overdue 4:0! Camavinga finds Modrić somewhat happy with a cross pass on the edge of the box. The 37-year-old flicks the ball from 15 meters from half right into the left bend.
79
10:39 p.m

65
22:25
Badía has to play again and again. Now it’s a shot from Asensio from a central 14 meters, which he steers over the crossbar with one hand. The following corner fizzles out.
62
22:23
Asensio lays flat on Benzema’s back from the right. Rodrygo goes along with it, passes across to his fellow striker in the penalty area. But Benzema pushes the leather to the left of the post.
59
22:20
Elche makes three changes in one fell swoop: Roco, Fidel and Guti are now joined by Verdú, Morente and Cheikh.

57
22:18
Smartly made by Lunin. Real’s goalkeeper is attacked by three opponents, but finds exactly the gap and his own teammate with his short pass into the middle.
54
10:15 p.m
It’s only a matter of time before it’s 4-0. This time Benzema is only the second winner from eleven meters from the right against Badía.
53
22:14
Yellow card for Gumbau (Elche CF)
Gumbau tactically fouls Camavinga in midfield. He is rightly warned for that.
51.
22:13
Rodrygo vs Badía! The Brazilian whirlwind fails twice from a half-left position and an acute left angle at the diving keeper.
49
22:11
In the second section we see an unchanged picture. The Ancelotti squad is in the mood for football – the guests, on the other hand, are already looking forward to the final whistle.
46
22:06
It continues without personnel changes.

Kick-off 2nd half
45
21:52
Mid-term conclusion:
Break in the Spanish capital, Real Madrid deservedly lead 3-0 against FC Elche. From the start, the Champions League participant shows the bottom of the table who is wearing the pants here. Already in the eighth minute Asensio put his team in the lead, which then missed one or the other opportunity. It took a hand penalty after about half an hour, which Benzema easily converted. It was also the Frenchman who made it 3-0 in injury time – again with a penalty. In between, the largely frighteningly harmless green-striped ones also made claims. So the game should already be decided at halftime. See you soon!
45
21:48
Tooor for Real Madrid, 3-0 through Karim Benzema
Double pack Benzema! The veteran is aiming for the top left corner this time. Badía is on it with one hand, but can no longer change the trajectory significantly.
45
21:48
Official injury time (minutes): 2
45
21:48
Another penalty for Madrid! Rodrygo nibbles on Diego González near the five and then trips over the defender’s long leg. Clearly: That’s enough for a penalty.
43
21:45
Real works 25 meters slightly half left in front of the opponent’s box. Alaba threw the game device flat past the goalie corner.
41
21:43
The opposite side: Alaba combines into the box on the half-left with a one-two. Badía is a little happy with his inside instep.
38
21:40
Carmona gets a shot on the right in the sixteen meter area over three stops. Lunin parries his attempt at violence for a corner, which this time poses no danger. Nevertheless: Elche is getting a little stronger.
36
21:39
Gumbau finds Diego González with a corner from the right. The defender is completely blank on the five, but nods the round over it.
34
21:36
The 2:0 is a coincidence in the creation, but logical in the consequence. Elche is overwhelmed.
31
21:33
Tooor for Real Madrid, 2-0 through Karim Benzema
Ice cold: Benzema converted in the top right, Badía was on the way to the other corner.
30
21:33
Yellow card for Enzo Roco (Elche CF)
Roco also sees the yellow box for his offence.
30
21:32
Penalty for Real! Benzema wants to head a cross from the right on goal, Roco has spread his hand wide and stops the ball with it. Referee de Burgos points to the point.
28
21:30
The Franjiverdes only seem to be able to embarrass their opponent from set pieces. After several headers from a corner, Nteka comes close to finishing. Carvajal tries the five and is fouled.
25
21:27
It remains the case that Elche currently does not get a foot in the door. Nothing goes offensively.
22
21:24
Badia has to go! The keeper defused a Valverde shot from 18 meters in the middle with his fingertips to the corner. It brings nothing.
21
21:23
At the moment, the royals are taking it a little easier. Apart from that one corner in the eleventh minute, they have practically no attacking efforts to defend in their own half.
18
21:21
After 18 minutes it is already clear: There is a real class difference here. In particular, the defensive of the guests proves to be extremely vulnerable.
15
21:18
Big chance for Benzema! The 35-year-old pushes a short Rodrygo cross from the left with a diving header from five meters to the left. He can sit down too.
12.
21:14
On the other side, Rodrygo takes Benzema, who started in his back, with him on the left wing. His shot from an acute angle is not an issue for Badía.
11.
21:14
Dangerous! Elche takes a corner from the left flat into the backcourt. Gumbau tries it from 17 meters from half left with an interesting low shot in the direction of the long corner. But Alaba is good and blocks.
8th.
21:10
Tooor for Real Madrid, 1-0 through Marco Asensio
A few moments later the doorbell rings! Carvajal passes from the right wing into the right half-space to Asensio. The 27-year-old prances lightly through Guti and Magallán and shoots in the bottom left with his left foot from 15 yards out.
7.
21:09
Good start from the Galactics. They seem snappy and want to quickly make it clear who is the master of the house.
4.
21:07
Double chance Real! Alaba sets Rodrygo on the left, whose flat cross finds Benzema in front of the five. The Frenchman doesn’t get the ball with his heel properly on goal. Eder Militão then drops the marble from 23 meters past the right angle with a dropkick. What a bullet.
3.
21:05
Nteka simply tries an artistic overhead kick as a result of a high cross from the left. His attempt from 13 meters from the left is easy prey for Lunin.
20:39
The green-striped team can’t exactly speak of self-confidence – even though they were able to beat FC Villareal on the last matchday (3-1). Being bottom of the table was the first win of the season after a total of 20 matches. No wonder that only nine meager counters are on the credit side. The distance to the saving bank is already 13 points. A success in the capital would undoubtedly be a sensation – but given the hopeless situation in the table it is a must.
20:21
Has the championship train already left for Barcelona? The Catalans lead the rankings in the Spanish bel etage with an eleven-point lead over the Madrilenians in a more completed game. That means: Even if they win today, they are still eight points behind on paper. It’s not just arch-rival Barcelona who are “to blame” for this – the royals also have to take a good look at their noses. Slips like ten days ago at RCD Mallorca (0:1) are punished mercilessly. After all, last week they won the Club World Cup by beating Al-Hilal Riyadh (5-3) in the final. Does that give you new self-confidence?
20:00
Hello and welcome to La Liga matchday 21! Real Madrid have a mandatory task to do today: FC Elche, bottom of the table, are guests. Kick-off is at 9:00 p.m.
