Mbapp\u00e9 opened the scoring from the penalty spot before Real Madrid left-back \u00c1lvaro Carreras<\/a> and midfielder Jude Bellingham<\/a> made it 3-0 before half-time. Rayo Vallecano striker Sergio Camello<\/a> pulled one back shortly after the restart, but Mbapp\u00e9 struck again in stoppage time to complete the scoring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Rayo produced the first meaningful effort, with winger Giorgi Tsitaishvili forcing Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois into a low save in the ninth minute. Madrid responded soon afterwards when Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior released \u00c1lvaro Carreras into the area and Rayo defender Florian Lejeune brought him down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 took the resulting penalty in the 14th minute and sent Rayo goalkeeper Emil Audero the wrong way to put Madrid ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The hosts doubled their advantage only three minutes later. Lejeune misplaced a pass back towards his goalkeeper and Mbapp\u00e9 collected the loose ball before finding Carreras, who moved into the area and finished with his left foot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Madrid added a third in the 35th minute. Real Madrid winger Vin\u00edcius cut the ball back from the left and Jude Bellingham was left unmarked inside the box, allowing the England international to place his finish beyond Audero.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Rayo started the second half with more purpose and Pedro D\u00edaz struck the post from distance before Sergio Camello reduced the deficit in the 51st minute. Real Madrid defender Antonio R\u00fcdiger lost possession while trying to play forward, leaving Camello free to collect the loose ball and finish underneath Courtois.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The visitors continued to threaten, with Tsitaishvili forcing another save from Courtois and later heading over at the back post. Madrid regained control as the half progressed, while Audero denied Denzel Dumfries and later kept out efforts from Arda G\u00fcler and Mbapp\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Mbapp\u00e9 added his second in the first minute of stoppage time. Real Madrid midfielder G\u00fcler helped move the ball across the pitch before finding the French forward on the right, and Mbapp\u00e9 drove a powerful shot across Audero and into the bottom-left corner to make it 4-1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
