Sheriff has incredibly ripped off Real Madrid! Watch the perfect winning goal in the 90th minute
Real Madrid – Sheriff Tiraspol 1:2. Probably nobody counted on this result. The Moldovan team was a bit lucky at the Santiago Bernabéu, but that favours the prepared. And in the 90th minute, Sebastien Thill scored a wonderful goal.
Real Madrid – Sheriff Tiraspol 1::2. Probably nobody counted on this result. The Moldovan team was a bit lucky at the Santiago Bernabéu, but that favors the prepared. And in the 90th minute, Sebastien Thill scored a wonderful goal.
“We are honoured to play against Real Madrid, but we must not be afraid. We have to be solid defensively and strike from breakaway situations,” Sheriff coach Yuriy Vernydub urged his team before the game.
And just as he said, his charges did. As early as the 25th minute, they took the lead when Real Madrid punishingly left Jakshibaev all alone in the whitewash.
The star-studded home team underestimated their opponent and expected to beat themselves, but Sheriff put in a great performance. The players worked hard, worked hard, fell for shots, even goalkeeper Athanasiadis had his day.
The stats of the game are unbelievable. Ball possession 68%-32%, shots 30-4, shots on goal 11-2, blocked shots 11-0, corner kicks 13-0. But the only thing that matters is the score. And Sheriff managed to score 2 goals with only 2 shots on goal.
In the second half, Los Blancos shifted gears and often pinned their opponents to their own whitewash for minutes at a time. Benzema equalised in the 65th minute and Real created more and more chances. But they were caught by Athanasiadis and, on the other hand, Tiraspol struck in the last minute.
And in an unbelievable way. In the 90th minute, the visitors had a free kick, which was returned by Traoré on the edge of the penalty area. Incomprehensibly, the large whitewash was all cleared, beautifully summing up the attitude of Real’s players that nothing could happen to them. But they did. Thill burst onto the ball with a half-volley and improbably hit the post.
Sheriff then locked ten men into their own net again and survived the six-minute set-up. So the midget’s fairytale continues, and after two rounds of the Champions League they are in first place with six points and can realistically think about promotion.
