Brazilian wins ball back to score winner against ValladolidAtlético draw blank; Lukaku hits two in Inter’s 5-2 routThe
Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior came off the bench to
fire his side to a scrappy 1-0 home victory over Real Valladolid in La Liga as the champions found a way to win despite failing to sparkle.
The Brazilian, who replaced the ineffective Luka Jovic, fought to win the ball back on the edge of the area and after it bounced into his path off a Valladolid defender he kept his composure to break the deadlock in the 65th minute. Zinedine Zidane’s side, who lost Eden Hazard to injury on the day of the game and were also without the Toni Kroos, again lacked fluidity in attack in their third match of the season but just about deserved the win.
