"Kylian Mbappe scored his second goal in as many games to hand Real Madrid a half-time lead at Real Oviedo this evening. The Frenchman received Arda Guler's pass, and turned sharply before firing a low drive beyond the dive of home goalkeeper Aaron Escandell. The goal was not without controversy though with Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni crashing into home midfielder Leander Dendoncker with a crunching tackle to win the ball. The Oviedo fans demanded a free-kick but it was not forthcoming."
"After surviving a scare inside the opening minute - Thibaut Courtois almost fluffing his lines in trying to keep out Ilyas Chaira - Xabi Alonso's men were well on top. Franco Mastantuono on his first Madrid start had a good shout for a penalty turned away in the 15th minute after a tussle with Dani Calvo while, seven minutes later, Federico Valverde saw a shot comfortably saved by Escandell."
"Madrid came within inches of the lead after 36 minutes. More good work from Rodrygo saw Escandell push his cross into the area where more heroic blocking from Oviedo prevented Guler from slotting home. The hosts, playing their first game in the top flight for 25 years, could not hold out until half-time, though, as Mbappe wriggled clear to put the away side in front."

Madrid dominated the first 45 minutes despite a scare for Thibaut Courtois inside the opening minute. Franco Mastantuono had a penalty shout turned away and Federico Valverde had a shot saved. Rodrygo and Guler also threatened before Mbappe's goal. Oviedo are playing in the top flight for the first time in 25 years. Kick-off was at 8.30pm UK and the match was shown on Premier Sports 1.
