First-Half Action: Rodrygo’s Brilliance
The game kicked off with high intensity as both teams aimed to take control. In the 27th minute, Rodrygo showcased his individual brilliance, weaving past defenders before smashing the ball into the bottom right corner, putting Real Madrid ahead 1-0. Brest struggled to break through the solid defensive setup of Madrid, with Thibaut Courtois making crucial saves to deny any equalizer attempts.

Second Half: Bellingham Doubles the Lead
Real Madrid started the second half with the same attacking intent. The 56th minute saw Lucas Vazquez providing a precise assist to Jude Bellingham, who calmly slotted the ball into the net, doubling the lead to 2-0.
Brest briefly thought they had pulled one back, but VAR intervened, ruling out the goal due to offside. This disallowed goal deflated Brest’s momentum, while Madrid continued their relentless pressure.
Rodrygo Seals the Victory

Key Substitutions and Tactical Masterclass
Carlo Ancelotti’s tactical acumen was on full display as he introduced Endrick, David Alaba, and Dani Ceballos in the latter stages to maintain energy levels and control the tempo of the game. Luka Modric, Jude Bellingham, and Aurelien Tchouameni were given some rest after their contributions.
Brest’s manager, Eric Roy, attempted to counter Madrid’s dominance with a series of substitutions, but the relentless pressure from Los Blancos proved too much to handle.
