Real Madrid Triumphs Over Ferencvaros in Friendly Match Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory against Ferencvaros in a friendly match held in Budapest on Saturday evening. The Spanish giants, led by manager José Mourinho, dominated the game from the outset, showcasing their strength against the Hungarian side. The match marked the debut of young attacker Carlos Espi, who scored his first goal for the club, contributing to the team’s success. The win came after Real Madrid had drawn 2-2 against Fiorentina in their previous friendly, and the club aimed to regain momentum ahead of their Liga campaign. The match saw Real Madrid control the ball for 62% of the game, recording 17 shots. The first goal came in the 41st minute when 18-year-old winger Alexis Ciria delivered a precise cross to Mario Rivas, a 19-year-old central defender trained at the club’s youth academy. Rivas headed the ball into the net, giving Real Madrid the lead. Carlos Espi, signed from Levante for 25 million euros this summer, made an immediate impact. In the 49th minute, he capitalized on a well-executed team move, finishing with a clinical strike to extend the lead to 2-0. Mourinho made several tactical adjustments at halftime, introducing Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva and bringing on Vinicius Junior, who had been absent from the squad. Espi’s inclusion in the attacking line proved decisive, as he quickly became a key player in the team’s strategy. Despite Real Madrid’s dominance, Ferencvaros managed to equalize in the 57th minute. The Hungarian side exploited a moment of defensive complacency, with Kenan Kodro scoring from close range after a cross from captain Kristoffer Zachariassen. The goal, though, could not change the outcome, as Real Madrid maintained their lead.#real_madrid #jose_mourinho #ferencvaros #carlos_espi #alexis_ciria
