Score
Real Madrid: Valverde (5′), Camavinga (13′), Guler (28′, 88′), Modric (55′)
In this match, coach Carlo Ancelotti left the trio of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe on the bench. However, the remaining names of Real Madrid still appear to be too strong compared to Minera.
Despite having to be a guest at Municipal Cartagonova Stadium, it only took “White Vultures” less than 5 minutes to concede the home team’s goal with Valverde’s impromptu volley.
Not long after, Minera had to go into the net to pick up the ball for the second time. This time, midfielder Camavinga headed powerfully to double the gap for Real Madrid after an assist from left-back Fran Garcia. In the 28th minute, Guler tried to break through in the penalty area before putting his name on the scoreboard. The gap increased to 3-0 for Real before the break.
Leading by 3 goals, Real Madrid played comfortably in the second half. Real continuously bombarded Minera’s goal, causing the home team to only crouch on defense. In the 55th minute, veteran Modric put his skill into the far corner, leaving goalkeeper Martinez helpless.
With the home team leading by 4 goals, coach Carlo Ancelotti then sent Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe onto the field at the same time to increase their attack power and let them “warm up”, preparing for the match with Mallorca at the weekend. This.
In the 88th minute, Guler completed his own double after a good cross from Diaz. Winning decisively, Real Madrid won the right to enter the 1/8 round of the Spanish King’s Cup.
