Real Madrid secured a 1-0 victory against Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, with young talent Endrick stepping up in Kylian Mbappé's absence. Mbappé, who was sidelined due to a dental procedure, has been a key player for Madrid with six goals in his last five matches.
Endrick, an 18-year-old forward from Brazil, made a significant impact by scoring a first-half goal off a breakaway opportunity created by Jude Bellingham's precise pass. Madrid's coach, Carlo Ancelotti, praised Endrick's performance, highlighting his contribution on both ends of the field.
