#Cl_2+MgBr_2 -> MgCl_2 +Br_2#

Explanation:

Since reactivity of the halogens increase up the group,Chlorine has the ability to displace Bromine from its compounds. It has reduced itself but oxidized bromine from #-1# to #0#.

P.S. due to some problems in my keyboard, I could not add subscripts to the equation..
