Unbelievably, Sporting Gijon have taken a 1-0 lead on Real Madrid at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Jose Mourinho’s shift to a true three man back line where the wide players are wingers, not wing backs, has seriously backfired as his team has been caught out on the counter-attack by Gijon after losing the ball. Despite the fact that they’ve done little in the way of attacking all game, they now have a shocking lead. While neither team has really done enough to win this game, based on how poorly Madrid have played by their standards, they can hardly be mad at anyone but themselves for the score of the match.
Real Madrid Vs. Sporting Gijon: Visitors Take Stunning Lead
Miguel de las Cuevas was the man who scored the goal for Gijon, assisted by Nacho Cases. The goal came on the counter and well against the run of play, as Madrid had held possession consistently for...well...basically the whole game. The problem is, they’ve done absolutely nothing with it. As a result, it only took one awful giveaway for them to trail.
