Real Madrid has passed a chaotic start to their second match of the FIFA Club World Cup against Pachuca in North Carolina.
After opening with a 1-1 draw against all Hilal in a sizzling hot Miami, Xabi Alonso remained with ten of the same starters, where only Arda Guler Rodrygo replaces in attack.
Los Blancos, however, suffered a nightmare start in the Bank of America Stadium, via another error from Center Back Raul Asencio.
Asencio left for the US on the back of signing a contract extension in Madrid, but he admitted a penalty against Al Hilal, who converted Ruben Neves to seal a draw for the Saudi Pro League side.
His mistake against Pachuca, however, was even more harmful, with Real Madrid reduced to ten men after just seven minutes after his resignation.
A long ball from the defense was not read well by Asencio or his defensive partner Dean Huijsen, where the last Salomon Rondon played on the side, and the first to clearly pulled him down just outside the penalty area of ​​Thibaut Courtois.
Match referee Ramon Abatti Abel immediately produced a straight red card for Asencio for refusing a clear goalscore opportunities to deny Rondon.
It dives a bad start of the competition for Asencio and his manager Alonso as Real Madrid struggle for a place in the last 16 knockouts.
The 2-1 victory of RB Salzburg over Pachuca places them top of group H, where Alonso needs something special to prevent their fate from going to a collision with the Austrians in Philadelphia on 27 June.
