Mbappe Discharged From Hospital After Gastroenteritis Treatment

Real Madrid secured their first win of the Club World Cup to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive when they defeated Pachuca 3-1 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Spaniards got off to the worst possible start when Raul Asencio brought down Salomon Rondon as the last man and was shown a straight red card just six minutes into the game.

Pachuca then dominated as Real lacked mojo and rhythm through the opening half an hour. Things changed when Jude Bellingham made a run from midfield and guided home the opener in the first half.

Arda Guler, brought into the starting XI for this match, netted a second in a similar move as Real went into the break two goals up.

Federico Valverde’s second-half volley added a third to put the icing on the cake and Elias Montiel’s consolation goal wasn’t enough to spark a comeback from the Mexican side who now exit the competition in the group stages after two defeats from two.
