Of scare to goal

With Gular already settled in the eleven and a defensive line of three with Tchouameni in the center and Huijsen and Rudiger with greater freedom to participate in the construction, Madrid needed a few minutes to feel comfortable in the Hard Rock Stadium, but went from less to more.

He was scared at 7 minutes when a great play by Kenan Yildiz in the center of the field released Kolo Muani. The Frenchman, only before Courtois in a hand in hand, tried with a petroleum jelly that ended up high. It was a danger to whites, but despite that Xabi Alonso’s men gave the feeling of being able to impose their rhythm on the clash.

With little rhythm, Madrid’s opportunities arrived based on individual talent. Like Gular’s, with three -quarter online class plays, and like Valverde’s, which placed a satin center for Bellingham that did not end in goal only thanks to a great stop of Di Gregorio.

With Gonzalo in front

And the spark that lacked in the first half came in the resumption. Madrid returned from changing rooms with another thrust. Bellingham told Di Gregorio in 52, Vinicius shook the defense for his band and Huijsen brushed a goal from outside the area with a shot that Di Gregorio managed to send to corner.

The opportunities were added and in 54 Madrid broke equality. Alexander-Arnold, with duties to do at the defensive level, but with great technical quality, hung a center that Gonzalo did not miss.

He hit with power and elegance, unstoppable for Di Gregorio. He celebrated it with passion, grabbing the shield and approaching the corner flag, where thousands of Madrid players celebrated 1-0.

After the advantage, Madrid felt more and more comfortable in the field and continued playing pleasure. The change of rhythm of Vinicius led to the limit to Juventus and the Brazilian originated the play that could end the second goal. Valverde tried with a spectacular Chilean that Di Gregorio managed to clear.

The Italian goalkeeper ended up being the protagonist in the complicated afternoon of Juventus and also closed his goal before a Gular left -handed volley twenty minutes from the end.

And goalkeeper Courtois, attentive at the few moments in which his club needed him, had a second half without trouble and Madrid armored his 1-0 to set up to New Jersey, where whites will end their tournament, whether in rooms, semifinal, or with the final that Xabi Alonso has marked in the calendar since his arrival in the United States.
