The first of many

Vídeo

First victory of the season. After two good draws, Real beat Elche 0-3 at the Martínez Valero in a match in which they were superior to the hosts. The positive sensations of the start of LaLiga are strengthened by the goals of Portu, Januzaj and Roberto López.

The txuri urdin, dressed in the away kits, were superior from the beginning and had the control of the match. The first goalscoring chances were created after a couple of dangerous shots but to no avail.

After a counterattack by the hosts, Remiro had to prove his quality to save an strike by Josan. Isak had a few chances but the score was still 0-0 at the break.

During the second half, Real dominated the game. Badía stopped a header by Merino but couldn’t do anything to avoid Real’s first goal. Real took the lead thanks to a crossed shot by Portu. Then, Remiro’s performance prevented the equaliser. In the final minutes, Real added a second after Januzaj scored from the penalty spot. Finally, Roberto López added the third for Real with a right-footed shot from inside the box.

Fair victory. Real come away with the three points in this amazing start to LaLiga action. Five points out of nine. Unbeaten. This victory will be the first of many. On Tuesday, Real will face Valencia at the Reale Arena. Aupa Real!
