The Ukrainian goalkeeper was outstanding in goal, making several crucial saves that ensured Los Blancos&#8217;s victory.<\/p>\n<p>Endrick scored the only goal of the game in the 19th minute following a brilliant lofted pass from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/jude-bellingham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Jude Bellingham<\/a>. In the 43rd minute, Mikel Oyarzabal&#8217;s shot was saved by Lunin, who put his reflexes to good use. Thus, the halftime scoreline remained 1-0 in favor of Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>In the 50th minute, Oyarzabal&#8217;s header was again saved by Lunin. Despite Madrid&#8217;s push for a second goal and Sociedad&#8217;s desire to equalize, the game ended 1-0 in favor of Los Blancos.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>In his stint on the pitch, Lunin maintained a passing accuracy of 85% (33\/39).
