"Having taken in Jude Bellingham's pass in the left channel, Mbappe ran at the backtracking Alaves defence before curling a delightful effort into the top-right corner. Madrid had already gone close via Rodrygo by that point, and they thought they had a second goal shortly after Mbappe's opener, only for Bellingham to be penalised for handball when he brought down Arda Guler's cross to score."
"before Alaves goalkeeper Antonio Sivera thwarted Mbappe and Vinicius Junior with an excellent double save. And Alaves dragged themselves level in the 68th minute, with substitute Carlos Vicente finding the top corner after being played in behind by Antonio Blanco, just 43 seconds after entering the fray. But Madrid would not be denied, with Vinicius the architect of their 76th-minute winner with an explosive run down the left, with his centre being prodded home by Rodrygo."
Real Madrid ended a poor run of form by beating Alaves 2-1 at the Estadio de Mendizorroza, easing pressure on coach Xabi Alonso. Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring in the 24th minute after receiving Jude Bellingham's pass and finishing into the top-right corner. Alaves equalised in the 68th minute through substitute Carlos Vicente shortly after coming on. Vinicius Junior drove the winner in the 76th minute with a bursting run down the left and a centre that Rodrygo prodded home. Statistical notes highlighted Vinicius's frequent assists for Rodrygo and Mbappe's carrying-goal tally this season.
