Super Eagles defender Kenneth Omeruo returned to action for La Liga side, Leganes as they held Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw at the Burtaque. Leganes picked up a first ever La Liga point against neighbours Real Madrid in a deserved draw. The Super Eagles defender returned to the side after missing out on two of their last game after picking up a knock.
The mid-table Cucumbers led through Jonathan Silva’s calm 18-yard finish from Martin Braithwaite’s pass.
But Karim Benzema levelled at the second attempt, scoring the rebound after Ivan Cuellar had palmed his shot. Real were playing in their first Monday night La Liga game, a slot not usually reserved for the league’s big names, in more than four years.
Zinedine Zidane’s team have little to play for as they are out of the title race and the cups, and are in no real danger of missing out on a Champions League place. No top 7 side in Spain has picked maximum points over Leganes at home this season.
