"Kylian Mbappé broke the deadlock in the 30th minute with a shot that deflected on an Alaves defender and fooled goalkeeper Antonio Sivera. Mbappé, the league's leading scorer with 24 goals, hadn't found the net in a league game since February."
"Vinícius added to Madrid's lead with a long-range strike in the 50th. The Brazil forward hadn't scored in his last six games between club and country."
"Alaves, sitting one point above the relegation zone, pulled one closer with a goal by Toni Martínez in second-half stoppage time."
Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory over Alaves, ending a four-game winless streak.

The win leaves Madrid six points behind league leaders Barcelona. The match was marked by an anxious crowd and a late injury to defender Éder Militão, which was reported not to be serious.
