"However, Madrid found their feet and took the lead just shortly before the half-hour mark. Franco Mastantuono was brought down in the box by goalkeeper Sherkhan Kalmurza, and Mbappe made no mistake from the penalty spot. The 26-year-old doubled his tally six minutes into the second half, running onto a long ball from Courtois before lobbing the ball over Kalmurza."
"And he secured the match ball with an impressive finish into the bottom-right corner from the edge of the box. Camavinga managed to flick Rodrygo's cross past the goalkeeper at the near post to make it 4-0, before Diaz fired home in the third minute of additional time to complete a successful trip for Xabi Alonso's side."
Real Madrid defeated Kairat Almaty 5-0 in the Champions League as Kylian Mbappe scored a first-half penalty and two second-half goals to complete a hat-trick. Kairat threatened immediately but failed to convert early chances. Franco Mastantuono was fouled in the box and Mbappe converted the spot-kick before adding a lob and a composed finish from the edge of the box. Eduardo Camavinga flicked Rodrygo's cross past the goalkeeper and Brahim Diaz scored in stoppage time. Thibaut Courtois registered a rare goalkeeper assist, and Madrid produced 3.32 expected goals (xG) versus Kairat's 0.36.
