Real Madrid defeat Pachuca 3-1 despite playing with 10 men

Real Madrid displayed an impressive performance at Bank of America Stadium by defeating CF Pachuca 3-1 in their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Group H match.

Tension arose when Raul Asencio received a straight red card in the seventh minute — however, this did not hinder Los Blancos’ dominance on the field.

Jude Bellingham opened the scoring in the 35th minute, followed by Arda Guler’s goal eight minutes later. Federico Valverde extended the lead in the 70th minute — before Elias Montiel scored a consolation goal for Pachuca ten minutes before the final whistle.

This victory proved crucial following their 1-1 draw against Al Hilal in the previous match, while Pachuca, who had lost 0-1 to RB Salzburg earlier, suffered another defeat.
