Carreras shines for Oviedo v Real Madrid after Benfica exit (Video) | OneFootball

One and a half months after leaving Benfica, Álvaro Carreras has been making a name for himself among Real Madrid fans and, in the 3-0 victory over Oviedo, he again demonstrated his quality and technique on the field. The former full-back of the reds, despite not scoring any goals or assists, was important in the defensive and offensive maneuvers of the merengues.

In the second round of La Liga, the young Spaniard seemed even more integrated into his new team, after having already shone in his official debut against Osasuna, where Xabi Alonso, coach of the whites, made a point of praising the performance achieved by the former number 3 of Benfica.

At the home of Real Oviedo, which returned to the main level of Spanish football, Carreras was a starter on the left side of the defense and ended up playing the full match. In the first half, the Spaniard saw Kyllian Mbappé open the scoring at minute 37, giving a 'slim' advantage to the merengues at half-time.

In the second half, Real Madrid came out full throttle and managed to extend the lead on the scoreboard, sealing the victory against Oviedo. The second goal of the whites was signed by Mbappé, who scored twice in the duel at the 83rd minute. Just in stoppage time, Vinícius Jr., introduced during the match, made the final 3-0 at 90+3'.

With this victory, the team from the Spanish capital continues its positive debut in the competition, adding two victories in two official matches. With six points accumulated, Real Madrid is in 3rd position in the league table, level on points with rival Barcelona and the surprising Villarreal.
