He slipped a pass to the Frenchman who turned sharply on the edge of the box and drilled a low shot into the net.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The resilient hosts nearly snatched an equaliser when Kwasi Sibo\u2019s low drive struck the post and bounced out. Instead, it was Real who struck in the 83rd minute, once again regaining possession in midfield. Substitute Vin\u00edcius slipped the ball through to Mbapp\u00e9, who finished coolly to double the lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Deep into stoppage time, Vin\u00edcius found himself unmarked in the box and calmly picked out the far corner to add Real\u2019s third and final goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Juventus<\/strong> opened their Serie A campaign with a 2-0 home win over <strong>Parma<\/strong> on Sunday, sealed by debutant Jonathan David\u2019s opener and a late tap-in from Dusan Vlahovic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">There were few chances for either side in the first half and Juve\u2019s Francisco Concei\u00e7\u00e3o went closest early on with a diving header that forced Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki into a full-stretch save to keep it out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Parma came out sharper after the break and nearly struck within minutes. Mateo Pellegrino broke through only to be denied by a superb last-ditch block from Gleison Bremer that kept Juve level. The scare seemed to jolt the hosts into life and they soon piled on the pressure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Kenan Yildiz and Concei\u00e7\u00e3o repeatedly found space on the wings, creating several chances for Juve early in the second half, with Conceicao rattling the bar with a deflected strike. In the 59th minute, Yildiz burst free down the flank and whipped in a pinpoint pass to David, who stole a step on his marker and coolly finished with the outside of his boot to put Juve ahead. Yildiz could have doubled Juve\u2019s lead minutes before the end, but his half-volley was kept out by Suzuki, who reacted sharply to palm it away from the bottom corner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Andrea Cambiaso was sent off following a tussle with Mathias Fjortoft Lovik in the 83rd minute that ended with the Italian seemingly striking Parma\u2019s Norwegian defender. A minute later, Juve capitalised with a swift counter as Yildiz drove into the box and squared for substitute Vlahovic, who tapped in to seal the match.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1qvd3m6\">Jonathan David put Juventus into the lead.<\/span> Photograph: Alberto Lingria\/Reuters<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Atalanta<\/strong>, under new coach Ivan Juric, opened with a 1-1 home draw against promoted <strong>Pisa<\/strong>, as Isak Hien\u2019s first-half own goal put the visitors ahead but the lead was cancelled out by Gianluca Scamacca five minutes after the restart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Hamburg<\/strong> returned from a seven-year absence and emerged from its first game back in the Bundesliga with a 0-0 draw at <strong>Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The promoted side spent much of Sunday\u2019s game defending, with goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes diving well to deny Gladbach captain Rocco Reitz among other saves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cWe knew we were coming up against a strong team that would have many people in midfield, so we kept it tight in the centre and tried to hit on counterattacks,\u201d Heuer Fernandes said. \u201cOf course you never know where you stand after such a [difficult] pre-season, but I think everyone saw today how we can take on the league and that\u2019s exactly how it should go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Hamburg were the last surviving member of the Bundesliga to have played every season since its formation in 1963, earning the nickname \u201cder Dino,\u201d until it was finally relegated in 2018 after several close shaves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Cologne<\/strong> marked their return as second-division champion with a 1-0 win at <strong>Mainz<\/strong>, who had Paul Nebel sent off on the hour for a tactical foul to stop Jakub Kaminski going through on goal. The sending off provided encouragement for Cologne, who had been primarily defending up to then, and Kaminski\u2019s strike partner Marius B\u00fclter headed the winner in the final minute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real Madrid claimed a 3-0 La Liga win at promoted Real Oviedo on Sunday, with Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 scoring in each half before Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior added a late third to seal the match.
