The Last match of La Liga Gameweek 2 had rather exciting and competitive game. The title holders Real Madrid were without Cristiano Ronaldo but the depth of the Real Madrid squad is amazing, and they have been proving they are one of the best team in the world right now under Zinedine Zidane.
While Zidane side rather had an off night as they drew against Valencia 2-2.
The Valencia side under new manager looked strong and confident.
First Half
Real Madrid started strong in the game and the wonder boy Marco Asensio proved again why he is one of the young best players in the world right now. He netted a brilliant goal in the 10th minute of the match. In the latter part of the first half, Valencia showed great discipline; they were moving the ball confidently across the pitch and in the 18th minute of the game they equalized by the goal of C. Soler.
Second half
The Galacticos has had many open chances in the second half, but they failed to convert it.
They have been constantly putting pressure on Valencia side from both wings with their full backs. Marcelo and Carvajal putting the cross in the box with frontmen scoring the header have been the story of the Real Madrid's side in last season.
While Valencia was doing absolutely amazing with their defensive work, they had a chance to score, and they have utilized it beautifully, a good finish by Kondogbia in the bottom corner to give Valencia a lead by 2-1.
Marco Asensio brilliance has yet to come in the game, and he scored another screamer from the set piece and gave a Real Madrid hope to get that three points, and they have two open chances in last minutes of the game which was missed by Karim Benzema.

That's Dominating possession and pinning Valencia deep in the floor.
That time Valencia picked up the momentum from there and grew into the game... Hard fork.
