Un truco de Brahim le da el triunfo al Madrid en el Teresa Herrera

The 81st edition of the Teresa Herrera summer trophy, the Spanish football's preeminent trophy, was tantalizingly advertised with Real Madrid's visit to Deportivo. The first half at Riazor was a bore until Brahim, the Moroccan-born Spanish forward, displayed one of his signature skills in the dying minutes. The player received a long ball in the center of the field from Lunin, displaced it like a cushion beneath Soriano's pressure, propelled it with his knee, and scored past Leo Roman, the goalkeeper who recently signed a short-term contract with Mallorca.

This move secured a triumph for Madrid, allowing them to claim the trophy for the tenth time, representing the iconic Torre de Hércules of A Coruña. The first half had been sluggish, with José Mourinho's team struggling to trouble the well-organized Antonio Hidalgo squad, capable of smothering the ball when it approached Soriano and Amatucci.
