Brahim Diaz of Real Madrid showcased his skill with a remarkable goal after a intricate run, securing a 1-0 victory against RB Leipzig on Tuesday. This win provides them with a significant advantage heading into the Champions League last-16 second leg next month.
The 24-year-old, stepping in for the injured Jude Bellingham, scored in the 48th minute against the run of play. Real's goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin, substituting for the injured Thibaut Courtois, made crucial saves, ensuring Real's seventh consecutive win in the competition this season.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged the challenges faced, praising Lunin's exceptional performance and emphasizing the team's effectiveness in transitions. Despite Leipzig's early attempt being disallowed through VAR, Real's Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz displayed offensive prowess.
Lunin's continued excellence in the second half, stopping numerous attempts, maintained Real's lead and thwarted Leipzig's aggressive pursuit for an equalizer.
