Kylian Mbappe made three goals in two games to open the new season of the League, while Vinicius Jr responded to be retired with a late effort, since Real Madrid won consecutive victories by bursting the globe of Oviedo Real tonight.
The hosts emerged through the play-offs of the Second Division and hoped to celebrate their first game at home in the upper game in 24 years with a victory in the statement against the 15 times European champions.
However, Madrid had other ideas, and Mbappe’s orthopedic device, on each side of the halftime, was enough to give the men of Xabi Alonso a deserved three points.
Alonso made some striking decisions in his initial alignment, Franco Mastantuono and Rodrygo, 18, brought the XI with Vinicius Jr among which they were placed to the bank.
The Brazilian international entered the fray 18 minutes in the second half and seemed determined to compensate for the lost time, producing an animated exhibition that saw him help Mbappe for the second in Madrid before climbing the score sheet.
Madrid also enjoyed moments of fortune with its first surprisingly allowed game to stand.
The midfielder of France, Aurelien Tchouameni, crashed into Leander Dondoncker, winning the ball but using extreme strength, with Arda Gular taking possession before sliding a beautiful ball to Mbappe. The former PSG star made the rest, turning sharply before shooting a low impulse beyond the immersion of local goalkeeper Aaron Scandell.
Mbappe, who had been brilliant, also scored the only goal when Madrid opened his season with a 1-0 victory over Osasuna on Tuesday night.
Although Madrid can be considered a lucky touch with the objective, there was no doubt that his exhibition of the first half deserved some reward.
After surviving a scare inside the opening minute, Thibaut Courtois almost sponcing their lines when trying to avoid the chair of Ilyyas, Alonso’s men were fine at the top.
Mastantuono had a good cry for a penalty rejected in the 15th minute after a fight with Dani Calvo, while, seven minutes later, Federico Valverde saw a comfortably saved shot by Escandell.
Dendoncker threatened at the other end before Madrid returned again, a last left -handed that defends Rodrygo hitting the goal.
Madrid reached centimeters of the advantage after 36 minutes. Rodrygo’s good work saw Escandell pushed his cross to the area, where Oviedo’s most heroic block prevented Gular from being placed at home.
However, the hosts could not endure until part time, since Mbappe twisted clearly to keep the side out of the front.
Local fans, who still faced referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, were outraged once again at 10 minutes from the second half when the veteran striker Salomon Rondon fell under a challenge of Dean Huijsen within the area, but the officer stirred the players’ calls.
Mbappe approached again before Mastantuono and Rodrygo gave way to Brahim Díaz and Vinicius Jr.
He almost reaped instant rewards with Escandell producing an impressive stop to avoid a Valverde effort.
The key moment came eight minutes to the end. Oviedo had begun to take risks in search of the tie and his adventure was almost worth when Kwasi Sibo’s curly effort crashed into the position with Courtois beaten.
A minute later, the game ended effectively as a contest when Vinicius Jr played in Mbappe and became a recorded ending beyond the goalkeeper and the lower right corner.
A brilliant salvation from Escandell denied Mbappe a hat-trick, but there was little that the guardian could do to prevent Vinicius JR from putting 3-0 in the time of injury, the South American superstar took Diaz’s pass before the lateral feet on the network.
