Dream House Debut for Endrick

Endrick scored his first goal for Real Madrid as Carlo Ancelotti’s side defeated Real Valladolid 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu to open their La Liga campaign.

The young Brazilian was brought on as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe in the closing stages and brilliantly finished off a brilliant counter-attack led by Brahim Diaz to seal the victory with his team’s third goal of the afternoon deep into injury time.

After a frustrating first half, it was a deflected free-kick from Federico Valverde that broke the deadlock for Los Blancos, before Diaz doubled their lead with a superb lob in the closing stages.

Mbappe’s best chance came in the second half after his close-range effort was saved by Karl Hein, and he may now have to wait longer for his first La Liga goal than his long-awaited home debut.

Los Blancos are scheduled to play an away match against Las Palmas on Thursday night, hoping to build on the four points they picked up in the first two games of their La Liga title defence.
