⚽ First Half: A Frustrating Start for Madrid
The match kicked off with high expectations from the Santiago Bernabéu crowd. Madrid dominated possession early and even earned a penalty, but Vinícius Júnior’s shot was saved by Valencia’s in-form goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. Just minutes later, Valencia punished Madrid’s wastefulness when Mouctar Diakhaby rose above the defense and scored with a powerful header in the 17th minute.
