The game began with the visitors on the front foot, and Rodrygo, starting in Vinícius’ place, tested Oviedo’s Aarón Escandell early, but clear chances were scarce, in a tense opening period.

Xabi Alonso's men eventually broke the deadlock as Mbappé’s sublime turn and finish from Arda Güler’s pass set Los Blancos on their way.

Oviedo held possession after the restart but rarely threatened, settling for shots from range.

Federico Valverde missed a chance to extend the lead, but Mbappé’s second, a clinical finish from Vinícius’ pass, sealed the points.
