Real Madrid Wins Fifa Intercontinental Cup

Real Madrid beat Mexican side Pachuca in the Fifa Intercontinental Cup final in Qatar to record their second trophy this season. France international Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring in the first-half.

The player who has a record in the Lusail Stadium led his team to victory. Remember it’s the same venue where he scored a hat-trick in the World Cup final exactly two years ago.

Brazilian duo Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr soon scored one each to make the scores 3-0 as Real Madrid lifted the trophy. Pachuca captain Salomon Rondon came close to scoring when he put Thibaut Courtois to test.

The Madrid goalie had to stretch to save the long-range free-kick. Also, the former West Brom and Everton 35-year-old striker sent a header narrowly over the crossbar.

This victory is coming just a day after Vinicius Jr was named Fifa player of the year. Vinicius Jr scored his own goal from a penalty spot after Lucas Vazquez was brought down in the penalty box.
