WATCH: Crazy first half ends with Barcelona and Real Madrid trading stoppage time goals

Barcelona and Real Madrid are tied at 2-2 at half time of the Spanish Supercup final at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah.

It has been a half of few chances, but each side have had at least one each. Vinicius was sent in behind, but his tame effort was easily saved by Joan Garcia, while at the other end, Raphinha wasted a golden opportunity after being played in by a wonderful pass from Lamine Yamal. However, the Barcelona man has now made up for that miss with the opening goal.

After collecting the ball from Fermin Lopez, Raphinha drove into the Real Madrid box, and on this occasion, he picked out the far corner of Thibaut Courtois’ goal. That had been coming for Barcelona, who have controlled proceedings for the most part. However, their lead lasted only 10 minutes, with Vinicius firing home an equaliser late in the first half for Real Madrid.

Remarkably, there were two more goals before the half time whistle was blown. Immediately after Vinicius’ equaliser, Robert Lewandowski fired Barcelona back in front.
