Real Madrid defeated Alavés at the Bernabéu, earning three new points in LaLiga. Mbappé and Vini Jr., with two long-range shots, scored the goals for our team in a match filled with constant chances in the box. The Frenchman opened the scoring at the half-hour mark with a shot from outside the box that deflected off Jonny and surprised Sivera. Two minutes later, the same protagonists were involved again. The Frenchman shot, this time inside the box, and the goalkeeper made a brilliant save to prevent Arbeloa's side from extending their lead.
Militão hits the crossbar
The Frenchman tried again just before halftime. A cutback pass from Vini Jr., who had reached the byline, and Mbappé's left-footed strike narrowly missed the target in the 42nd minute. Two minutes later, it was Bellingham who crossed from the right flank, and the somewhat awkward attempt by Militão inside the box struck the crossbar. On that play, the Brazilian felt discomfort and was replaced by Rüdiger. In added time, Alavés responded with a double chance for Toni Martínez. His first effort hit the post, and the second, a volley from the edge of the box, was met with a great save by Lunin.
Vini Jr.'s stunning goal
After the halftime break, another clear chance to extend the lead arrived. Arda Güler took the corner in the 49th minute, and Tchouameni's header didn't result in a goal thanks to an impressive reflex save by Sivera. Real Madrid deserved a bigger margin and achieved it a minute later with a long-range, precise strike from Vini Jr.. The third goal could have come in the 62nd minute. Brahim, positioned wide and with his back to the goal, received the ball in the box, turned, and beat Sivera with a beautiful curling shot, but Tenaglia cleared it off the line with a header.
The minutes ticked by, and in the 77th minute, Lunin once again showcased his skills, stopping another shot from Toni Martínez inside the box. The Ukrainian had a great game, and where he couldn't reach, the post came to the rescue. This happened in the 82nd minute with Parada's header following a backheel pass from Toni Martínez. In added time, Toni Martínez himself scored the final 2-1 by deflecting Guevara's shot from the edge of the box with his heel.
