In the 63rd minute, Kaka took the ball on the flank and advanced. After breaking into the penalty area, he passed the ball horizontally, and Negredo took a shot from the center, with the ball grazing the post and going wide.
After this shot, Mourinho substituted Di Maria for Kaka.
Kaka had been frequently fouled by Levante during this period, and Mourinho was a bit worried about him getting injured.
Di Maria, just a minute after coming onto the field, created a threatening play. He chipped the ball to Negredo, who attempted a powerful shot from the left of the penalty area, but it was ruled offside.
Mourinho frowned and a few minutes later replaced Negredo with Benzema.
Negredo showed no reaction.
In the 70th minute, Chen Zhong retreated and intercepted the ball in the backfield, then launched a long pass to the front. Di Maria received the long pass on the right and crossed it in, Benzema headed it back, and Chen Zhong, who moved forward, fired a heavy cannon shot.
