Things did not go to plan from the start for Jose Mourinho's men as the relegation-embroiled side got a shock guide in the sixth second. Apono poked the ball off the toe of Luka Modric and straight to the road of Rodri who raced through one-on-one with Diego Lopez. He designed to hit the ball over the owner but fashionably put it in another place, completing with aplomb. Madrid were exceedingly rushed in property but nonetheless came desperately near finding an equaliser soon after. Marcelo's cross-field move fell within the shoulder of Ronaldo but he was not able to guide his first-time volley into the top place. Los Blancos were fighting for fluency in the last third and an agonizing Rodri attempt that arrowed directly on the bar nearly doubled their problems. Nevertheless the readers were presented with a way to attract degree with 27 minutes on the time as Roberto Jimenez did not acquire Luka Modric's in-swinging free end. Glenn Loovens' sliced settlement offered Pepe with an opportunity to head in the equaliser, but the Dutchman recovered to poke the ball off the line. Madrid were turning to a long-ball game but it paid dividends in the 38th minute. Pepe's pass from deep wasn't managed by Loovens and Ronaldo bulldozed through the defense before lashing a low shot past Roberto at his near post. The scoreline would have been completely stopped two minutes later had it not been for a top save from Roberto to help keep Michael Essien's header out of the internet. The ruling Liga champions did not let up after the break but the rating somehow kept stage as Marcelo hit the post of an open target after Roberto had done brilliantly to refuse Ronaldo in the 48th moment. Zaragoza were in no way prepared to submit and they soon came ultimately back to the intensity levels that had caused the guests therefore many issues in the first half. In an attempt to revive his team Mourinho included Sami Khedira, Angel Di Maria and Mesut Ozil on the hour mark, but the sport kept delicately balanced. In fact it had been the Blanquillos who were looked increasingly more likely to steal successful but Lopez guaranteed the pull as he did remarkably to help keep out a set of top-drawer headers from Helder Postiga in the closing stages. The result means Madrid remain 13 factors behind Barcelona, who can only handle a draw with Celta Vigo earlier on Saturday. Zaragoza, meanwhile, will be positive that the unexpected result can offer a late surge to security.
