Real Madrid defeated Deportivo de La Coruña at Riazor stadium on Thursday to claim the Teresa Herrera trophy, according to Libertad Digital. The match saw Brahim Díaz and goalkeeper Lunin play decisive roles in securing the win for the visitors.
Libertad Digital reports that the pair "conquered Riazor" for Real Madrid, with Brahim Díaz also earning individual attention for his performance. Diario AS highlighted that Brahim Díaz climbed the Tower of Hercules, a landmark in A Coruña, in a separate report on the player's activities around the match.
The victory was not straightforward, as Cadena SER noted that Deportivo pushed Real Madrid hard and came close to equalizing late in the game. The Galician side's resistance made the final stages tense, but Real Madrid held on to take the trophy.
Real Madrid's official website confirmed the club won the Teresa Herrera, a traditional summer tournament hosted by Deportivo in A Coruña. El País added that a clever piece of skill from Brahim Díaz proved to be the difference, giving the Madrid side the edge in a contest that was tighter than the final scoreline might suggest.
The Teresa Herrera is one of Spain's most historic preseason trophies, and this edition gave Real Madrid an early test against a motivated Deportivo side. The match served as preparation for the upcoming season, with both teams using the fixture to build fitness and sharpness.
Real Madrid will now look to carry this winning form into their remaining preseason fixtures as they continue their preparations.
