As the game was deployed
Carlo Ancelotti made four changes from the side that beat Leganes The league Last weekend and Vinicius was one of those promoted on the starting line. In Brazilian he was offered the perfect opportunity to end his four -game drought Madrid From the penalty point after Kylian Mbappe was demolished in the area, but lost his second kick in the space of one month, as Giorgi Mamardashvili comfortably strengthened his weak effort.
Things went from bad to worse for Los Blancos only two minutes later, while the resurgent visitors of Carlos Corbban made a surprise advantage. Diakhaby’s foolish silenced Bernabeu as a 19 -year -old goalkeeper Fran Gonzalez, who debuted in Madrid, was helpless to prevent hosts from falling back.
Diakhaby’s participation did not know the limits, as the center of Valencia fired a goal from your own goal beyond Mamardashvili shortly after opening the scoreboard, was only saved by an offside play against Mbapppe during the accumulation. The Guinea International almost expanded the advantage of its side to the other end instant -later, reaching the distant post only a second mass late to turn a corner.
A series of MBAPPE shots, far from far away, the most welcoming player in Madrid during a frustrating first half, approached a equaltator, one of whom whistled closely wide from the stick and another spicy Mamardashvili gloves. But the home parties could not group a level strike before the whistle at half time.
Ancelotti chose to make any replacement at halftime and his faith in his initial distribution was rewarded only five minutes after the break. Vinicius obtained the redemption after his penalty penalty in the first half while throwing the ball on the roof of the net after the Jude Bellingham head is on a corner.
Not surprisingly, the equalizer turned on the crowd of the home, and the hosts finally began to increase the pace. Rodrygo’s entry before the time Mark helped sharpen the attacking move from Madrid and Mbappe saw another curler flying in the Valencia Post width, as a winning goal seemed more and more inevitable.
If it were not for the good reflections of Mamardashvili, Madrid would have found a probable winner with 20 minutes for replacement. MBAPPE chose Federico Valverde after a clean work inside the penalty area and the nearby range strike of Uruguay was repelled expertly for the extended palm of Georgia.
Valencia sank towards its own territory in the Moribund embrace and Madrid became more and more exasperat, struggling to open many clear opportunities as the clock marked. But even the most optimistic of travelers would not have planned a winner, well, for Los Che, at least for Los Che.
For once, Madrid was the wrong end of the late drama in the capital, with the excellent cross of Rafa Mir converted by Duro of six meters, while Valencia won his first victory outside the season and his first victory at Bernabeu in 17 years.
