Real Madrid showcased their undeniable talent as they secured a commanding victory over Pachuca. Despite facing some challenges early in the match, the LaLiga giants found their rhythm after Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring in the 37th minute, thanks to a spectacular collaboration involving Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Jr., and Mbappé himself.
Rodrygo further extended the lead with a brilliant individual goal in the 53rd minute, which proved to be a significant blow for Pachuca as they began to show signs of fatigue as the match progressed. Although Rondon had a chance for the Mexican team, a late VAR review awarded Real Madrid a penalty after Lucas Vazquez was fouled by Idrissi.
Vinícius Jr., returning from his recent accolade as Best Player, confidently converted the penalty, sealing the win and delivering Carlo Ancelotti his 15th major title as manager of Real Madrid, marking the club’s second trophy of the season.
