La Real strongly defended its leadership in the First Division. Not so much in the marker, as in the forms. A genius of Januzaj served Isak to head to the net the only goal that the team txuri urdin served to defeat a Cadiz (0-1) to which, however, he submitted with total resounding in all sections of the game. Sixth consecutive victory for Real in the League that equals the best streak in its history and the best start in the club's League to continue one more day at the head of the championship.
The Cadiz he managed to impose his game plan in the first half. Not without suffering, of course. La Real had 74% possession of the ball, fired nine times on goal, two between the three sticks and took five corners. He generated enough to get ahead and had two or three very clear options in which he touched the goal but the yellow team, retreated in a 4-4-2, hardly having the ball, without shooting, no longer between the three sticks of Remiro but without trying directly and without taking a single corner kick, he went to rest with the initial zero tie.
It was a first monographic act, in which the Real only tried to build with the ball and in which Cádiz fell back to resist. Thus, the story of the first part was a constant going of those of Imanol that, since in minute 5 Oyarzabal failed a control that would have left him alone before Ledesma after a pass from Merino, they built enough attacking plays to gain some advantage. In the 14 ' Zaldua I finish off coming from the right, in the 19 ' Isak He tried it from afar, on 27 ' Oyarzabal did not find anyone from the baseline, in the 28 ’a shot at the half turn of Merino with the right he was brushing the stick … It was a constant drip until half an hour later the Real had the clearest. Silva connected on the outside with Januzaj, which was ahead of Espino and his pass back, with everything in favor, Merino he finished it off with little direction so that Fali I will take it out under sticks.
In the final quarter of an hour of the first act, the Navarrese midfielder himself headed the goalkeeper ahead, a delicious center from Silva that went out for very little. It seemed a matter of time before the txuri urdin goal arrived, but a little precision was always lacking. Like Monreal, who in minute 35 missed a control at the far post after a cross from Zaldua that prevented him from finishing at will. Before the break Januzaj He still tried again with a shot from outside the area, in the 40 ', which Ledesma repelled in two halves.
Nothing changed in the second half though Cervera he was introducing changes to try to vary the game's script. La Real continued to do their thing until they found the goal. Januzaj he had already had a ball in the area that he finished off to the side of the net in the 52 'and Ledesma had already made a save, in another loose ball inside the area, to Oyarzabal when Januzaj invented a genius. Standing in the area, the Belgian hit a perfect cross to the far post, turning only his ankle, which Isak nodded to the net. There were 25 minutes left in the game and Real had done the most difficult. Now it was Cádiz that had to react.
It was difficult for the yellow team to get into another match script that was not to wait and, therefore, generate danger to a Real that was putting people of refreshment to hold the 0-1.
One of the best options for the locals came in a center from the right in 83 ’that Zaldua cleared in the heart of the area providentially when Jairo he was about to nod at will. Too little to compromise the leader of the First Division who maintained the advantage without problem until the end to remain at the top of the table.
