Real Madrid survived a late scare as goals by Lucas Vázquez, Kylian Mbappé and Rodrygo gave them a 3-2 home win over Deportivo Alavés in La Liga. Carlos Benavídez and Kike García scored in the 88th and 89th minutes for Alavés but Real held on to win a match they had mostly dominated.
Real opened the scoring a little over a minute after kickoff when Vinícius Júnior took a long Federico Valverde pass in his stride and ran up the left channel before setting up Vázquez, who fired home from close range.
