Tabularly a top game, but on the lawn easy food. Real Madrid wins in La Liga without shining 3: 1 (0: 0) against a staunch FC Villarreal.
Against extremely defensive guests, Vinicius Junior (47th) succeeded on Saturday (04.10.2025) with a deflected shot of the goal to 1-0 and with a penalty he made it 2-0 (69.). Georges Mikautadze (73.) reduced to 1: 2, but there was nothing more for the “yellow submarine”. Especially after Santiago Mourino (77th) had to get off the square with yellow-red. After that, Kylian Mbappé (81st) makes it all clear with the 3: 1. The Frenchman also hit the seventh real game in a row.
Real, at least in terms of the coarse, has rehabiliables at least the coarse 1: 5 clap in the Madrid derby at Atletico.
Villarreal long extremely defensive
However, the spectators in Santiago Bernabeu did not receive a delicacies, although Villarreal had traveled as third in the table. The guests entrenched themselves in their own half and let the royal come. Since the team of coach Xabi Alonso lacked the last energy after the wide Champions League trip to Kazakhstan (5-0 at FK Cairat), not much happened for a long time.
And so the guests almost turned the game upside down shortly before the break when Tani Oluwaseyi (41st) ran towards the goal alone at the first real counterattack – but did not get past Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Deflected shot real brings the lead
The hosts met shortly after the break – albeit with luck. Vinicius Junior prevailed on the left in the penalty area and pulled off. Villarreal Santi Comesana tried to block the ball and falsified it into his goal for his goalkeeper to 1-0.
Afterwards, Real kept control without going on the second goal with the last pressure. This almost avoided after almost an hour when Villarreal countered again. But Mikautdaze slipped past a cross pass from Pepe. When Vinicius Junior fell in one of his typical penalty area dribbles, Real got a penalty and the converted of the Brazilians to 2-0.
Mikautadze gives Villarreal only briefly hope
What looked like a secure number became exciting again because Madrid had the reins grinding. Mikautadze was suddenly free at the penalty area and scored the connecting goal for 2-1 with a precise shot in the left corner. However, the guests took the wind out of their sails. Mourino fell behind a running duel with Vinicius Junior, grabbed the Brazilian on his shoulder.
He hit his hands in front of the face, went to the ground and called for the card shortly afterwards. Mourino would have got to do without Vinicius and had to get off the pitch with yellow-red. Real then played its greater quality in an overnent. Mbappé scored the goal for the 3-1 final score from a short distance.
Real drove home and took over the lead from FC Barcelona (19) with 21 points, at least temporarily, who is a guest at FC Sevilla on Sunday (4:15 p.m.).
