Real Madrid continued their perfect start to the 2025/26 La Liga season with a commanding 3-0 away victory over newly promoted Real Oviedo at the Nuevo Carlos Tartiere stadium. French superstar Kylian Mbappé scored a decisive brace, while Brazilian winger Vinícius Júnior added a stoppage-time strike to seal the result.
With this victory, Los Blancos made it two wins from two to open the campaign, while Oviedo suffered their second consecutive defeat since returning to Spain’s top flight.
Real Madrid started the match with confidence, controlling possession and pushing Oviedo deep into their defensive third. The breakthrough came in the 37th minute, when Kylian Mbappé capitalized on a quick Madrid counterattack. A perfectly timed pass split the Oviedo defense, and the Frenchman slotted calmly past the goalkeeper to give Madrid a 1-0 lead. Oviedo held firm for much of the second half, showing resilience and energy in front of their home crowd. But as the game wore on, Real’s superior quality shone through. In the 83rd minute, Mbappé struck again. This time, he showcased his trademark movement inside the penalty area, shaking off his marker to finish clinically and secure his first La Liga brace in a Madrid shirt.
The double underscored why Mbappé is regarded as one of the best players in the world. His pace, finishing, and ability to rise in decisive moments made the difference once again for Los Blancos.While Mbappé’s brace was enough to ensure victory, Real Madrid were not finished. In stoppage time (90+3’), Vinícius Júnior capped off the night with a well-taken goal. Cutting inside from the left flank, the Brazilian beat his defender with a burst of acceleration before calmly slotting the ball into the net. For Vinícius, it was a reminder of his growing importance to the team. With defenders forced to focus heavily on Mbappé, he found more space to exploit and made full use of it. The combination of Mbappé and Vinícius is quickly shaping into one of the deadliest attacking duos in world football.For Real Oviedo, the match was another harsh introduction to life in La Liga. After losing 2-0 to Villarreal in their opening match, they faced the ultimate test against Real Madrid and came up short.
Despite the defeat, Oviedo showed moments of determination, particularly in their pressing during the first half. However, their lack of cutting edge in attack and inability to contain Madrid’s world-class forwards highlighted the gap between La Liga newcomers and the league’s elite. Still, the fans at the Nuevo Carlos Tartiere gave their team passionate support throughout the 90 minutes. The club will hope to regroup quickly and target more realistic fixtures as they look to secure survival in Spain’s top division.For Real Madrid, the win represents another step toward reasserting domestic dominance. In the opening round, they edged Osasuna 1-0, and with this convincing 3-0 away win, Carlo Ancelotti’s side have made a statement of intent.
Two games, two wins, four goals scored, none conceded — Madrid look sharp and organized at both ends of the pitch. Mbappé has already delivered the firepower fans expected when he signed, while Vinícius continues to prove himself as a world-class partner in attack. Looking ahead, Madrid will face tougher challenges, but the balance of their squad suggests they are ready to fight on multiple fronts — both in La Liga and in Europe.
Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory over Oviedo showcased the firepower of their star-studded attack. Mbappé’s brace and Vinícius’ late goal reflected the individual brilliance that has long defined Los Blancos. For Oviedo, it was another difficult lesson in their return to La Liga, but for Madrid, it was a night that reinforced their status as title favorites.
If Madrid’s first two games are any indication, the partnership of Mbappé and Vinícius could light up La Liga all season long. With momentum building and confidence high, Los Blancos appear ready for another campaign of dominance both domestically and abroad.
