Real Madrid remains undefeated in preseason with 1-0 win over Deportivo

Real Madrid concluded their preseason undefeated after a hard-fought 1-0 win against Deportivo. The match's sole goal came from Brahim Díaz, who capitalized on a counter-attack in the last moments of the first half.

Despite Deportivo appearing more match-fit and controlling possession for significant periods, particularly in the final half-hour, Real Madrid's defense, anchored by goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, held firm. Lunin made a vital save in the 87th minute to deny Loureiro an equalizer, securing the victory for the Spanish giants.

The team fielded by Jose Mourinho featured a midfield pairing of Camavinga and Bernardo Silva, with Arda Güler given freedom to orchestrate play. While Real Madrid faced limited direct threats in the first half, Deportivo's intensity grew after the break, with Mella forcing a save from Rivas and later Loureiro testing Lunin.

Real Madrid's offensive efficiency, particularly Brahim Díaz's clinical finish, proved decisive. The team's ability to strike on the counter, despite facing periods of pressure, highlighted their readiness for the upcoming league season.
