In October, Real Madrid got the first victory at home of the season (2-0) after beating Espanyol thanks to the brace scored by Isco. Los Blancos were better than the rival but they got problems again to convert the chances. We are in the 7th week of La Liga and Cristiano Ronaldo has still to score in La Liga.

Achraf Hakimi was the main news in the line-up, giving some rest to Dani Carvajal. Besides, Isco and Asensio were Cristiano Ronaldo companions in the attacking line. Actually, Isco had the first clear chance in the second 25, but Pau López saved it. Asensio could also scored in the 4th minute after a corner kick.

Real Madrid were controlling totally the game, putting Espanyol in the box. After many minutes trying to score the first one, the goal finally arrived in the 30th minute with a goal scored by Isco. After the first goal, Cristiano could score the second but he missed it again. Real Madrid got relaxed and Espanyol could draw in the 43rd minute but Gerard hit the bar.

Espanyol reacted in the second half and they started to arrive to Keylor Navas’ goal. Real Madrid were again risking to concede another goal and lose the points. Besides, they didn’t create any danger. However, in a counter attack Isco could score again and close the game. Again Isco was the best player in the pitch, not only for the goals, but also for the way of playing.

It was a better game at home but not great and Real Madrid could suffer again at home. They need to wrap the game earlier in the future if they don’t want to suffer that much.
