00:00Enric scored on his Real Madrid debut as Carlo Ancelotti's side secured their first La Liga victory of the season with a hard-fought home win against Real Valladolid.
00:09The champions were frustrated for vast periods of the game in Kylian Mbappe's home debut but hit their attacking stride when the game opened up following Federico Valverde's second-half breakthrough.
00:19Substitute Brahim Diaz made it 2-0 in the 88th minute, collecting a long ball from Eder Militao before dinking it over Valladolid goalkeeper Karl-Hein.
00:2818-year-old striker Enric added gloss to the scoreline by powering an effort inside the near post in the final minute of added time.
00:36Valverde changed the momentum in the 50th minute by driving a low effort, which took a heavy deflection off Stanko Juric past goalkeeper Hein to open the scoring.
00:45It followed a tough first half for Carlo Ancelotti's men in which Valladolid continually sat deep, limiting the available pockets of space and nullifying Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Rodrigo's threat.
00:56The game soon sprung into life as Valladolid's search for an equaliser left more space for the hosts to attack.
01:02Mbappe made a number of good runs but could not mark his home debut with a goal.
01:07Madrid, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Mallorca in their La Liga opener last weekend, are next in action when they take on Las Palmas on Thursday, 20.30 BST.
01:17Brazil prodigy Enric marks his Madrid arrival
01:22Enric's long-awaited first appearance for Madrid lasted just over 10 minutes, but he has already made his mark.
01:28The Brazil forward agreed a move to Real in December 2022, however, because of FIFA rules prohibiting players under the age of 18 from being transferred abroad, he only joined in July this year.
01:40Much has been made of Mbappe's arrival, but so too has there been hype around Enric.
01:45He is a promising young talent and the youngest man to ever score for Brazil.
01:49Then plying his club trade for Palmeiras in Brazil, he netted the winner for his country in a friendly against England in March.
01:56His cameo against Valladolid was brief but impactful.
02:00He provided a new dynamism and excelled where Mbappe, who he replaced in the 86th minute, had struggled, coupling making the right moves with proper link-up with his teammates.
02:10In what had otherwise been a predominantly scrappy game, Enric's late performance added a touch of class.
