Real Madrid are beating SC Braga thanks to a goal from Rodrygo, which ends their scoring drought of more than 900 minutes in which they were without scoring. The meringues present some rotations in their lineup on their visit to Portugal, on the third day of the Champions League. The whites have won the first two games of the competition, against Unión Berlin and Napoles, and now they are looking to maintain their perfect pace in a tournament that has the Merengue team as the top winner. On the other side is a rival that is in need of a good result, after having lost against the Neapolitan team on the first day, a painful fall for the Portuguese in their aspirations to qualify for the round of 16. The match will take place at the iconic Braga Municipal Stadium, where Real Madrid will have to take care of the threat posed by Spanish winger Álvaro Djaló, the local team’s top scorer.

More informationGo to start
Djaló close, although offside
Djaló came close to tying the game with a shot that brushed past the left post of Kepa’s goal, although Braga’s Spanish attacker was offside.
Braga does not change his plan, despite the disadvantage
Despite being down on the scoreboard, Sporting Braga maintains its initial position, waiting for Real Madrid in its field and looking to do damage in the open field.
Vinícius fence
Vinícius had realized that the rival goalkeeper was ahead and tried a lob, which finally did not find the goal. The Brazilian was close to scoring the second goal of the match.
Goal invalidated against Madrid due to offside
Rodrygo had scored a double, but the action was invalidated due to an advanced position by Vinícius, who had once again assisted his compatriot.
Mendes, close to surprising Kepa
The right back of the Portuguese team sent a cross that was poisoned in the air and almost got into Kepa’s goal, who had to solve the situation with a good hand to reject the ball.
Matheus takes the second from Madrid
Vinícius receives from the wing, cuts inside and shoots at the far post, but goalkeeper Matheus is very attentive to reject the Brazilian’s attempt.
Nacho saves Madrid
Nacho effectively blocked a shot inside the area that had a good chance of finding the goal.
Rodrygo tests from a distance
Having already broken his drought, Rodrygo attempted a shot from outside the area, but the shot went wide. Bellingham reprimanded him slightly, considering that he should have passed the ball to him.
REAL MADRID GOAL
Goal from Rodrygo. The play was started by Nacho with a great long pass to Vinicius, who then crossed for his compatriot to end his scoring drought of more than 900 minutes without scoring.
Braga tries to attack Madrid’s defense in space
When they manage to recover the ball, Sporting Braga is constantly looking for the long pass behind the Madrid defense. Until now, the lack of precision of the Portuguese in their strokes has not worried the white defense.
Real Madrid dominates, but without chances
Real Madrid maintains possession of the ball at will, but has yet to create any chances. Braga has not managed to intimidate the whites either. For now, it has been a speculative start to the game.
Bellingham descends to support the start
As against Sevilla, Jude Bellingham delays his position to help his team out, more than he used to do in his first games as a merengue, when he waited for the ball higher up.
