Real Madrid won 1-0 against Real Sociedad in the first leg of their Copa del Rey match, thanks to a brilliant goal from young forward Endrick. The 18-year-old Brazilian produced a moment of magic, controlling a perfect pass from Jude Bellingham before finishing with the outside of his left foot. This goal gave Real Madrid a slim advantage ahead of the return leg in April.
Endrick’s goal helped Madrid secure a vital away win, even though he doesn’t play regularly due to his age. This was his fourth goal in the Copa del Rey, showing his growing importance for the team. Despite playing less, every time he steps onto the field, Endrick shows his quality.
Real Madrid’s goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin, also played an important role in the victory. He made key saves throughout the match, including a fantastic stop against a powerful shot from Barrene in the first half. Lunin, who is standing in for the injured Thibaut Courtois, proved he can be trusted in big matches.
However, there were some concerns for Madrid. Young players like Eduardo Camavinga and Arda Güler didn’t have their best game. They were unable to make a significant impact, and both need to improve if they are to become regular starters for the team.
Despite these issues, Real Madrid’s win in the first leg gives them an advantage in the Copa del Rey. The team will now focus on maintaining their strong form for the second leg next month.
