Xabi Alonso hopes to mark his Real Madrid debut with a victory, and but his side has been fed back by Al Hilal in their opening match of the Club World Cup 2025.
Real Madrid has been poor in the first half in Miami, but they managed to endure the storm of Al Hilal to take the lead just after half hour, with the goal thanks to the young striker Gonzalo Garcia. But as soon as Los Blancos had continued, they have now withdrawn into a stalemate.
Debutant Dean Huijsen was assessed to have committed an error in the penalty area, and that enabled Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves to find the back of the net from 12 Yards.
