Cadiz and Real Madrid shared points in LaLiga on Sunday evening. The Royal already found the lead in the fifth minute of play, which was brushed away ten minutes before the halftime signal by the team of trainer Sergio González. For Cádiz (eighteenth with 36 points) the draw feels like a defeat, as competitor RCD Mallorca does take the three points. In the last game of LaLiga, the Andalusians will play an away game against Deportivo Alavés.

Trainer Carlo Ancelotti changed his team in several places compared to the won game with Levante (6-0). Karim Benzema and Vinícius Júnior were given rest in the run-up to the Champions League final, just like Luka Modric. The trio was replaced by Mariano Díaz, Marco Asensio and Federico Valverde respectively. On the defense, Éder Militão replaced Jesús Vallejo, who moved to right back position. Back left, Lucas Vázquez Ferland replaced Mendy, while Andriy Lunin had a chance to show himself under the bar.

With a glorified B-team, the Madrilenians started from the starting blocks, because the score was already opened in the fifth minute of play. Rodrygo sped into the box from the left side of the field, after which he gave Díaz an unmissable opportunity from close range. The latter made no mistake and gave Real Madrid a 0-1 lead. Ten minutes before the halftime signal, Cádiz leveled the score. Militão failed to clear the ball as desired, leaving Rubén Sobrino in possession on the edge of the sixteen. The attacking midfielder then had a brilliant shot that went in through the bottom of the bar: 1-1.

In the second act, the Gaditanos an excellent opportunity to take the lead. The breakthrough Álvaro Negredo was knocked out in the penalty area by Lunin, after which referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz awarded a penalty. Negredo went behind the ball himself, but his attempt from eleven meters was caught by the closing post. In the remainder of the game, both teams went looking for the winning goal, but it was not found: 1-1. At Cádiz, Oussama Idrissi got a basic place.
