Real Madrid overpower Oviedo 3-0 in La Liga as Mbappe scores twice

Real Madrid claimed a 3-0 La Liga win at newly-promoted Real Oviedo, with Kylian Mbappe scoring in each half before Vinicius added a late third to seal the match.

For Oviedo, returning to Spain’s top flight after an absence of almost a quarter of a century, the arrival of the 15-time European champions on Sunday was a gala occasion, and the Asturian fans made their presence heard.
Coach Xabi Alonso made a couple of notable changes to his starting lineup from Madrid’s opening 1-0 win against Osasuna, dropping Vinicius and Trent Alexander-Arnold for Rodrygo Goes and club captain Dani Carvajal, returning from injury.

But the dropped Vinicius responded by producing an assist and a goal in his half-hour cameo.

Argentinian teenage sensation Franco Mastantuono made his full debut in another change for Los Blancos.
The 18-year-old showed his explosive dribbling ability early on when he burst past two defenders into the Oviedo box before going down and looking appealingly at the uninterested referee.
