46′ THE SECOND PART BEGINS
The possible reaction of the Portuguese was not facilitated by an imperial Eduardo Camavinga in several facets of the game. The Frenchman has shown judgment with the ball (18/23 in passes), looking for passes into space that allow him to jump over lines, while at the same time showing his prodigious ability in disputes. He is the player with the highest number of duels (14) and interceptions (2). He also knows how to read the game and commits up to four fouls without receiving a warning.
The missed penalty of Álvaro Djaló, who has history when he contested the shot with a Rodrigo Zalazar who had more stripes, split the ‘Arsenal team’. From showing off a proposal to take possession and extend their possession to stun the match, Sporting de Braga began to fade from the grass of Santiago Bernabéu, without presence in the final third, with circulations without depth and arriving late for most of the match. distribute the balls.
In this sense, Andriy Lunin has saved seven of the fourteen penalties he has conceded at club level in all competitions since the 2018/2019 season, excluding penalty shootouts, including two of the four he has conceded as a Real Madrid goalkeeper.
The comfort with which the Madrilenians faced much of the first period largely corresponds to the goal that Lunin avoided by stopping Álvaro Djaló’s penalty after Lucas Vázquez’s hold on Cristian Borja in the opening minutes. The Ukrainian, who joined the starting eleven due to the muscle pain felt by Kepa Arrizabalaga during the warm-up, guessed the team chosen by the visiting footballer, frustrating Sporting de Braga’s chance to take the lead on the scoreboard.
With 51% possession and almost 300 passes in total, Real Madrid has managed to achieve the superiority achieved by Brahim Díaz’s goal with long possessions, series of short passes and frontal balls towards the gap created between the full-back and the central defender . There the white team has found a highway to stretch the Portuguese team, unable to correct a mistake already evident with the puncture on the first lap.

17′CAMAVINGA AVOIDS VITOR CARVALHO’S SHOT!!

Camavinga dives low to the ground to block the kick.
