Real Madrid beat Cádiz (0-3) this Sunday on matchday 14 of LaLiga EA Sports held at the Nuevo Mirandilla, thanks to the strike of a Rodrygo Goes who was not in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans at the start, so that the Madrilenians sleep leaders.
The team from the capital overcame the ‘FIFA virus’ and even the last-minute loss of Brahim Díaz, who left the eleven in extremis due to intestinal discomfort. His place was taken by Rodrygo and the Brazilian scored two great goals, one in each half, to dismantle a daring Cádiz but without the whites’ punch.
The context that the match brought in La Tacita de Plata could be seen on the grass with a Cádiz well prepared for two weeks to face its prestigious rival, a Madrid with losses and forced to change things. Sergio González’s men also did it, a daring scheme to put pressure on the whites and be protagonists.

The Andalusians were good from the start and had good finishes, much less dedicated themselves to defending themselves as might be expected. However, in a stroke of genius on the part of Rodrygo, who without Vinícius enjoyed the left wing as he likes best, Carlo Ancelotti’s team took the lead in the 14th minute. The Brazilian completed an obstacle course, avoiding rivals and even teammates, until he found the diagonal to the square with an unstoppable right hand.
The challenge was undoubtedly big for a Cádiz team that had appeared with Chris Ramos and Robert Navarro, while Madrid seemed to be entrusted to the counterattack. The whites, with a midfield of carats although second option this season with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, plus Jude Bellingham everywhere, looked for depth on the wings, but soon lost sight of the rival goal.
The goal did not spur the visitors and Cádiz did not take long to get up to continue with the plan. Roger almost scored, one saved by Lunin’s effort, with two good shots from outside the area. The restart returned with that give and take to take control, but this time Madrid was the first to warn.

In a burst from Bellingham, the ball reached Rodrygo, who dribbled, letting the ball escape in front of Joselu who blocked himself instead of sending the ball to the net without hesitation. The visitors’ step forward was confirmed by a shot against the post by Modric, but in that same long play, Rodrygo’s second arrived, with even more quality than the first, in a weak withdrawal by the yellows.
The Brazilian confirmed that he was back to his best performances and Cádiz saw Maxi’s last attempt to get into the match slip away in a clear shot. Rodrygo’s umpteenth run made it 0-3 for Bellingham, leaving Ancelotti’s team with 15 peaceful minutes. The Italian coach measured his efforts with the debut of Gonzalo García and minutes for Dani Ceballos, although it was for an injured Modric who asked for a change.
There was no trap in Cádiz for a Madrid that during the national team break had lost Vinícius and Eduardo Camavinga, the ‘FIFA virus’ that Rodrygo vaccinated. The whites leave Nuevo Mirandilla with the lead, pending what Girona does this Monday against Athletic Club, while Sergio González’s men remain two points above relegation, without winning a game since the fourth day.
