Football – Real Madrid claimed a 3-0 LaLiga win at promoted Real Oviedo on Sunday, with Kylian Mbappe scoring in each half before Vinicius Junior added a late third to seal the match.
Mbappe put Real ahead in the 37th minute after Aurelien Tchouameni won the ball off Leander Dendoncker in midfield and quickly fed Arda Guler, who slipped a pass to the Frenchman who turned sharply on the edge of the box and drilled a low shot into the net.
The resilient hosts nearly snatched an equaliser when Kwasi Sibo’s low drive struck the post and bounced out.
Instead, it was Real who struck in the 83rd minute, once again regaining possession in midfield. Substitute Vinicius slipped the ball through to Mbappe, who finished coolly to double the lead.
Deep into stoppage time, Vinicius found himself unmarked in the box and calmly picked out the far corner to add Real’s third and final goal.
- Juventus opened their Serie A campaign with a 2-0 home win over Parma, sealed by debutant Jonathan David’s opener and a late tap-in from Dusan Vlahovic.
There were few chances for either side in the first half and Juve’s Francisco Conceicao went closest early on with a diving header that forced Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki into a full-stretch save to keep it out.
Parma came out sharper after the break and nearly struck within minutes. Mateo Pellegrino broke through only to be denied by a superb last-ditch block from Gleison Bremer that kept Juve level.
The scare seemed to jolt the hosts into life and they soon piled on the pressure.
Kenan Yildiz and Conceicao repeatedly found space on the wings, creating several chances for Juve early in the second half, with Conceicao rattling the bar with a deflected strike.
In the 59th minute, Yildiz burst free down the flank and whipped in a pinpoint pass to David, who stole a step on his marker and coolly finished with the outside of his boot to put Juve ahead.
Yildiz could have doubled Juve’s lead minutes before the end, but his half-volley was kept out by Suzuki, who reacted sharply to palm it away from the bottom corner.
Andrea Cambiaso was sent off following a tussle with Mathias Fjortoft Lovik in the 83rd minute that ended with the Italian seemingly striking Parma’s Norwegian defender.
A minute later, Juve capitalised with a swift counter as Yildiz drove into the box and squared for substitute Vlahovic, who tapped in to seal the match.
Atalanta, under new coach Ivan Juric, opened with a 1-1 home draw against promoted Pisa, as Isak Hien’s first-half own goal put the visitors ahead but the lead was cancelled out by Gianluca Scamacca five minutes after the restart.
