After winning the UEFA Super Cup in August, Real Madrid have now won their second trophy of the 2024-2025 season. On Wednesday they secured the Intercontinental Cup after a comfortable 3-0 win over Mexican side Pachuca.
It took until the 37th minute for Real Madrid to open the scoring, but it was worth the wait. A nice team move was completed by Vinicius Junior rounding the goalkeeper before playing in Kylian Mbappe to score his third goal in three games.
Eight minutes into the second half, Real Madrid would get their second goal thanks to Rodrygo Goes. The Brazilian winger did a wonderful job of holding the ball on the edge of Pachuca's penalty area and managed to create enough space to fire beautifully into the far corner.
Late in the afternoon, Vinicius scored his fourteenth goal of the season from the penalty spot after Lucas Vazquez was fouled. It ensured a very good victory for Real Madrid, who will now focus on more trophies until the end of the season.
