The Ukrainian goalkeeper spent the entire match on the field.
Real Madrid, led by Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, defeated Rayo Vallecano at home in the 27th round of the Spanish La Liga 2024/25 season. The match at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid ended with a score of 2:1 .
All goals in this match were scored in the first half. In the 30th minute, Kylian Mbappe put the home team ahead, and four minutes later Vinicius Junior strengthened the advantage of the “Royal Club”.
The visitors responded in the 45+2nd minute with a precise strike from Pedro Diaz, but this did not prevent Carlo Ancelotti's men from ultimately winning.
Lunin spent the entire match on the pitch. The main goalkeeper of the “creamy” Thibaut Courtois was given a rest before the return match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League against “Atletico” (the first game between the Madrid clubs ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of the “Blancos”), which will take place on Wednesday, March 12.
