WATCH: Kylian Mbappe strikes again as Real Madrid go 2-0 up against Kairat Almaty | OneFootball

Real Madrid are on their way to making it two wins from two in the Champions League, having doubled their lead against Kairat Almaty in the first half of their league phase clash at the Ortalyq stadion.

The hosts almost took the lead inside the opening 10 seconds, but a header effort was straight into the grateful hands of Thibaut Courtois. Real Madrid were shellshocked in the minutes after that, but they have since regrouped – and in the last 10 minutes, they have piled the pressure on, with their reward having came when a poor defensive header allowed Franco Mastantuono to nip in ahead of 18-year-old Kairat goalkeeper Sherhan Kalmurza, who brought him down for a penalty. Kylian Mbappe stepped up and made no mistake.

And minutes into the second half, Mbappe has got his and Real Madrid’s second of the evening with a delightful finish over the onrushing Kalmurza, having been played in by Courtois.

Real Madrid have breathing space in this one, and they will be confident in seeing this one out with any complications.
