Real Madrid's standing in their World Cup group after defeating Pachuca

Great victory for Real Madrid against CF Pachuca (3-1) in a match that puts the white team as leader of Group H. The whites, who played with one less player after Asencio was sent off in the 5th minute, clearly outperformed the Mexicans. Bellingham, Güler, and Fede Valverde scored the goals for the Madrid side.

This way, Real Madrid adds four points to the standings and is already the leader of its group. However, the white team could lose that spot tonight if RB Salzburg beats Al-Hilal. If so, first place would be decided in the last matchday against the Austrians.

Huijsen and Gonzalo, the two standout notes for Real Madrid

Without a doubt, the match left two big names. In addition to Bellingham's great performance and Güler's goal, Dean Huijsen and Gonzalo keep showing the great future they have.

In his second match wearing the Real Madrid jersey, Dean Huijsen didn't leave anyone dissatisfied, showing off his ability to play the ball out from the back. He delivered a wonderful pass to Vinícius that would end with the 3-0 on the scoreboard. However, he is a player who shows great strength defensively, is well positioned, and has sensational ball control.

Meanwhile, Gonzalo García started again in the absence of Kylian Mbappé, who could return for the match against Salzburg. In his first opportunity this season, he scored and was chosen as the best player of the match.

Xabi Alonso, to reward him, decided to start him again. With a great backheel, he set up Fran García so he could assist Bellingham for the 1-0. Just minutes before the end of the first half, and again with a one-touch play, he left Güler alone to score the second goal.

Precisely, the Turk was another player who excelled in the match against Pachuca. He scored a great goal that was the result of a very good team play. In addition, he showed he was a step ahead of Rodrygo, who didn't get any minutes.
