In their away game at Kairat Almaty, Real Madrid put on a remarkable display by thrashing the hosts 5-0.
The brightest star of the match was undoubtedly Kylian Mbappe, whose outstanding hat-trick played a major role in helping Los Blancos secure a spectacular victory in Kazakhstan.
From the very first minutes, Real Madrid showed clear intent to dominate. Carlo Ancelotti’s squad continuously pressured the home side’s goal with quick, sharp combinations inside the penalty area. Arda Guler came close to scoring in the 18th minute after a well-placed pass from Fran Garcia, but the young player’s easy shot narrowly missed the post.
Real Madrid’s pressure finally paid off in the 25th minute when Kairat Almaty’s goalkeeper made a critical mistake by rushing out to block but fouled Franco Mastatuno inside the box. From the penalty spot, Kylian Mbappe calmly converted to put the Spanish giants ahead 1-0.
