Madrid wins at Mestalla

Hard-fought victory for Real Madrid at Mestalla. Our team defeated Valencia in a competitive match, securing their seventh consecutive win in LaLiga. After a goalless first half, Carreras scored the 0-1 in the 65th minute with an impressive individual effort, and Mbappé sealed the victory in the 91st minute. 

The match began with high intensity as the home side pressed, making it difficult for us to play out from the back. Arda Güler had the first chance, but his shot deflected off Hugo Duro and went wide. Later, Mbappé tried a shot aiming for the near post, but Dimitrievski cleared it with his feet. The Frenchman kept pushing and had another opportunity in the 23rd minute after receiving a good pass between the lines, but Valencia's goalkeeper managed to secure the ball.

Dimitrievski also denied David Jiménez a goal shortly after, clearing his angled shot with his foot once again. In the 40th minute, the academy player delivered a precise cross to Gonzalo, who couldn't head the ball as Copete managed to slightly deflect it to prevent the chance. The first half ended goalless.

Brilliant play by Carreras for the 0-1
After the restart, our team continued to search for a goal, which finally came in the 65th minute. A brilliant individual play by Carreras, who picked up the ball on the flank, got past the defense, entered the box, and delivered a low shot into the corner with his right foot to make it 0-1. Shortly after, Valencia had their clearest chance through Beltrán, but his shot hit the post and went wide.

Mbappé seals the win
In the 74th minute, Cömert prevented a one-on-one opportunity for Mbappé by managing to steal the ball at the last moment. The Frenchman had another chance to extend the lead minutes later, but his angled shot went just wide of Valencia's left post. In stoppage time, Mbappé capitalized on a great assist from Brahim, who had received a long pass from Huijsen. The forward scored his 23rd goal of this LaLiga season with a right-footed finish, and Madrid took all three points from Mestalla.
