Real Madrid faced off against Cadiz at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a win on the road. Los Blancos made a quick start to the game and got their noses ahead in the fifth minute when Mariano Diaz scored with an easy finish. However, the home team equalised in the 37th minute via Ruben Sobrino’s excellent strike. Both sides went into the half-time break with a 1-1 scoreline.
Real Madrid tried their best to retake the lead in the second half but ended up being held to a 1-1 draw at the full-time whistle.
