Goal! James Rodriguez scores the fourth goal for Real, scorecard reads REAL MADRID 4-2 REIMS

James Rodriguez scored the 4th goal for Real Madrid just as the match against Reims completed an hour. The goal came in at just the right time, as Reims had already scored their 2nd goal of the match when the 2nd half of the match started.

In the 48th min, Remi Oudin had scored the 2nd goal for his team. A long ball was pumped forward and Madrid failed to clear after a few attempts. This left substitute Remi Oudin with the chance to shoot. His effort was the best of strikes. However, it somehow broke through the legs of Mariano and fell beyond the helpless grasp of Casilla to make it 3-2.

Real Madrid seemed to get quite desperate after this. They gave their best efforts, and came close quite a few times. However, their efforts finally paid off in the 60th min. It seemed as though something clicked properly for the hosts and they managed to extend their lead. It was mainly due to the industry of James Rodriguez, as he in from the right to see his initial delivery being stopped by the opponent’s keeper. But the Colombian persisted on the rebound and due to this, he was finally able to slot home into an almost-empty net, thus scoring the fourth goal for RealMadrid.

This goal helped the hosts to stay 2 goals ahead of the guests, a safe place to be at this point of the match. Until Real Madrid manages to score yet another goal soon, there will still be chances for the guests to reach or even surpass them. But, it is important to note that James’ goal has helped to build a mental pressure upon the guests.
