With only 22 seconds gone in this second half, Emmanuel Adebayor saw another chance go begging as he raced onto a long ball before drifting a first time shot onto the top of the bar from the right-hand edge of the area. Not been the Togo strikers night so far as he vies with Benzema for a guaranteed spot in Mourinhos favoured 4-2-3-1 formation that he will surely revert back to when Cristiano returns.
Real Madrid Vs Hercules: Adebayor Almost Scores Directly From Restart
Hercules on the other hand appear to be throwing caution to the wind, taking any opportunity to burst forward in search of an equaliser. So far Javier Portillo has had an unproductive return to the Bernebeu, while Esteban Vigo will want more contributions from the three players lurking behind the striker, Thomert, Kiko and Gomes.
Oh, what a goal that would have been! Angel Di Maria delightfully lifted the ball into Karim Benzemas path, the French hitman nicking thr ball past a defender before forcing Calatayud into a tidy save. Real Madrid still on the hunt for the killer second goal.
