Champions League roundup: Jude Bellingham strikes as Real beat Braga
The Guardian says Real Madrid’s Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham scored in each half to secure a 2-1 win at Braga to keep their side three points clear at the top of Group C. The Spanish side dominated from the start and opened the scoring in the 16th minute, Vinícius Júnior putting the ball on a plate for Rodrygo to strike from close range.
Real missed several chances to extend their lead mainly through Vinícius who was often caught offside by an extremely high Braga defensive line. But they managed to score again when Rodrygo beat the offside trap and found Vinícius ghosting behind the defence. He collected the through ball and passed to Bellingham who, from the edge of the box, slotted an effortless curling strike inside the far post.
