Real Madrid v Arsenal Live Commentary, 7/23/19

Real Madrid complete a second-half comeback to defeat Arsenal on penalties in this International Champions Cup clash. The Gunners were looking good at the break, holding a 2-0 lead through goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Both teams had players sent off in the first half as Nacho Fernandez and Sokratis Papastathopoulos were dismissed for two bookable offences. The introduction of Gareth Bale brought an impact in the second half just a day after Zinedine Zidane said the Welshman's future lay away from the Bernabeu. Bale poked home from close range before Marco Asensio fired a strike past Emiliano Martinez at his near post.
