Real Madrid didn't let Celta de Vigo breathe after halftime, because as soon as the second half started, they extended their lead in the score of the match at the Santiago Bernabeu, for matchday 30 of LaLiga Santander, thanks to the goal scored by Eder Militao, who beat the opposing defense to connect a powerful header.
Although Celta complicated things for Madrid in the first half with a strong defensive marking, where Peruvian Renato Tapia stood out in defense, before halftime, Ceballos filtered a pass for 'Vini' and the Brazilian made a precise cross for Marco Asensio, who volleyed it in first and scored the 1-0.
At 47 minutes, Asensio took a free kick and Militao won in the air against the opposing defense to score the 2-0 of the match. It should be noted that if the result remains the same, Real Madrid will be eight points behind the leader, Barcelona (73′), who plays an important match against Atletico Madrid this Sunday.
