Asensio and Lunin Don't Understand Each Other and Real Madrid Almost Concedes the Dumbest Goal of the Year

Real Madrid wasn't able to beat Rayo Vallecano in the opening minutes of the first half until Kylian Mbappé's goal. The white team, obliged to secure victory after Atlético de Madrid's defeat in Getafe, had a shot hit the post.

Vinícius, one of the most active players in the white attack, shot from the edge of the area to Batalla's near post. His shot hit the woodwork, and the subsequent rebound couldn't be reached by Kylian Mbappé.

The Near Miss by Raúl Asencio and Andriy Lunin

However, Rayo Vallecano also had some chances to score the first goal of the match. Aridane shot at an open goal from a corner where Andriy Lunin didn't come out well at all.

Moreover, the Rayo team is playing quite bravely at the Madrid stronghold. The visiting players are putting a lot of pressure on Carlo Ancelotti's pupils, who aren't entirely comfortable.

These doubts were evident in a back pass from Raúl Asencio to Andriy Lunin. The Spanish center-back passed the ball backward with Andriy Lunin somewhat distracted. The ball went very close to the Ukrainian goalkeeper's post, and the entire Santiago Bernabéu feared the worst.

However, Kylian Mbappé, in the 29th minute with a powerful shot, scored the first goal for the Madrid team. A goal that brought more calm to a Santiago Bernabéu that was already getting frustrated with the team's first half.
