Alcoyano-Real Madrid match review

Andriy Lunin's first full-fledged game on the field this season was a duel against Alcoyano, a Spanish football club from the city of Alcoy, located in the province of Alicante in the autonomous community of Valencia. The match took place on January 5th at the Campo Municipal El Collao, the home stadium of the Alcoyano club.

The score was opened by Real Madrid in the 39th minute of the match. Rodrigo kicked the ball into the Alcoyano penalty area from a corner, where Militao drove it into the net. There were no more goals in the first half of the match, largely thanks to the confident play of Brave GK ambassador Andriy Lunin. In the first half, the Ukrainian saved his team at least twice: the first time it was a strong kick from Dani Vega, which Andriy converted to a corner shot, and the second time it was a rather difficult shot from Carlos Blanco.

The second half of the match between Alcoyano and Real Madrid began with Alcoyano managing to score a return goal. In the 66th minute, Dani Vega found himself in the Madrid penalty area, beat two defenders, and sent the ball into the far nine. A great shot, no chance for Lunin. 1:1.
