In a highly eventful friendly match at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium on Tuesday, Brazil’s Lucas Paqueta managed to rescue his team from a fortunate 3-3 draw against Spain by scoring a penalty deep into added time. The game was ill-tempered and saw a lot of drama unfold on the pitch.
The hosts, Spain, started the game with a lot of energy and dominated proceedings early on. They opened up a two-goal lead with a penalty from Rodri and a Dani Olmo strike. However, Brazil’s Rodrygo managed to reduce the deficit before the break after a mistake by Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simon.
In the second half, Brazil’s teenager Endrick came off the bench and equalized from a corner just four minutes in. This brought the game back to level terms and made it an exciting contest to watch.
Despite Brazil’s comeback, Spain managed to take the lead once again in the 86th minute when Rodri scored his second goal of the game from the spot. It looked as if Spain was going to secure a victory, but the match had one more twist in store.
In added time, Brazil managed to level again when Galeno was fouled inside the box, and Lucas Paqueta made no mistake from the spot, stroking the ball home to secure a draw for his team. The result was a fair reflection of the match, which was full of excitement and drama until the final whistle.
