🎥 Bellingham opens scoring, 10-man Real 3-1, Asensio 🟥 on Ref Cam 🤯

After a very complicated draw in their debut against Al Hilal, Real Madrid beat Pachuca 3-1 despite being a man down for almost the entire game.
It's the first victory for Xabi Alonso, who is getting closer to advancing in the Club World Cup.

After just 7 minutes, Raul Asencio, who was disastrous in the previous match, gets sent off for a last-man foul. The action seen from the "ref cam" is suggestive, demonstrating the referee's good decision.
The deadlock is broken by the usual Jude Bellingham at 35' with an assist from Fran Garcia. A textbook finish from the Englishman, who scores his 15th goal of the season, to which 14 assists are added.
The doubling comes just 8' later thanks to a move initiated by Alexander Arnold, whose low cross is turned into a pass by Gonzalo Garcia. Arda Guler is lethal, scoring the goal.
In the second half, Federico Valverde leaves behind the missed penalty against Al Hilal and scores the 3-0 with a scissor kick at 70'. The service behind the defense from Brahim Diaz is enlightening.
At the 80th minute, thanks also to a lucky deflection, Elias Montiel makes the deficit less bitter with the 3-1 that deceives Courtois by taking him off guard.
Real Madrid is virtually at the top of Group H, waiting for the result of Salzburg-Al Hilal's night game.

Speaking to German broadcaster Sat1 after the full-time whistle finally brought some relief, DFB squad captain Eric Martel did his utmost to present his usual calm front. Martel narrowly escaped being the man who cost his team their tournament dream. It was the Köln man who committed the foul that enabled Italy to equalize from the dead ball situation. Martel's midfield teammate Rocco Reitz was also-visibly exhausted after 120 minutes of action, particularly after making several long sprints towards the end. Di Salvo and Röhl also registered their thoughts. Advertisement 'It doesn't matter what happens to us, we can shake it all off,' Martel told Sat1. 'I'm dead tired while also being exuberantly happy.' Reitz described himself as 'at the end of his rope' after a 'crazy game'. Di Salvo spoke of 'hectic play [preceding the 2-2]' that forced the team to 'make life unnecessarily difficult for themselves.' Röhl admitted the team 'didn't do well [enough] two men up'. When it came time to discuss rejuvenation, Reitz made the famous German Per Mertesacker 'callback' referencing the German central defender's famous interview after Germany's grueling extra time victory over Algeria in the 2014 World Cup Round-of-16. German female footballing legend Alexandra Popp also referenced the famous 'Notorious BFG: Are you not entertained?' moment when speaking after a German quarterfinal extra time victory in the Olympics tournament last sumer.
