The Galician team lost 2-1 with the meringues, when La Liga resumed after the FIFA date. The Spanish football scorer has had three penalties in his favour, one of which was contained by the former Catholic University goalkeeper, who has racked up four so far in the Championship.
After the FIFA date, for national teams the leagues returned and in Spain the real Madrid . After the tough 4-0 defeat against Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu, the merengue cast beat Celta de Vigo 2-1 this Saturday, in Balaídos. Despite the result, one of the men of the day was goalkeeper Matías Dituro, who offered himself the luxury of stopping a penalty from Karim Benzema, the White House’s top scorer.
The arbitration of Pablo Gonzales Fuertes caused controversy, because he sanctioned three penalties in favor of the leader of the Spanish tournament. In the first half, Gato Benzema opened the scoring from 12 steps in the 19th minute. Before the break, Celta made it 1-1 through Brazilian Thiago Galhardo, but the goal was canceled at the request of VAR .
The Galicians made it 1-1 in the 52nd minute, thanks to Nolito’s goal. After the hour of play, the referee sanctions the second penalty in favor of the visit, for a supposed foul on Rodrygo. Benzema throws again but Dituro guesses and deflects the shot. The former Catholic University player became the first goalkeeper to save a penalty against the French striker, as a Real Madrid player in all competitions. This is the fourth penalty that Dituro contains in La Liga 2021-2022, being the best goalkeeper in this facet. This is one of the aspects in which the meta has stood out the most since arriving in Spain, from the Crusaders.
Five minutes later, Gonzales Fuertes receives the maximum penalty against Celta for the third time, for a very questionable offense against Mendy. Now Benzema gets his revenge and defeats Dituro. It was the 2-1 final for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
In short, Real Madrid lead the table with 69 points, taking a 12-point lead over Sevilla, who visit Barcelona on Sunday. Meanwhile, Celta led by Chacho Coudet remains eleventh, with 36 units.
