Match Review

The opening stage of the game, both sides were cautious in the rhythm, and Rodrigo's shot was lifted by goalkeeper Escandel's fingertips. The home team goalkeeper then completed the "second consecutive save" - ​​he saved Rodrigo and Guerre's close range shots. In the 36th minute, the deadlock was broken: Mbappe took the ball from the front of the penalty area, stopped and got rid of the two defenders, and shot with his right foot and went straight to the dead corner, 1-0!

The side changes again, Valverde's shot missed from a small angle; Oviedo once hit the post by Quaccibo, almost equalizing. In the 63rd minute, Alonso waved his hand and Vinicius replaced Rodrigo. This substitution was immediately effective - in the 83rd minute, Vinicius made a backward trip from the bottom of the left, and Mbappe scored twice with a fury shot, 2-0! In stoppage time, Vinicius personally counterattacked and scored a single goal, freezing the score at 3-0.
