Lookman Makes Nigerian History as Vinicius Seals Real Madrid’s 3-2 Derby Win
Ademola Lookman became the first Nigerian to score in a Madrid derby when he opened the scoring for Atlético at the Santiago Bernabéu. Lookman struck in the 33rd minute after a neat backheel from Giuliano Simeone, giving Atleti a 1-0 lead at half-time. Real Madrid responded early in the second half. Vinicius Jr. levelled from the spot before Federico Valverde put the hosts ahead with a deflected strike. Atlético battled back through Nahuel Molina’s 35-yard thunderbolt, but Vinicius curled in the winner late on. The result keeps Real four points behind Barcelona in the title chase.
