Bellingham’s Brace Secures Victory for Real Madrid against Almería
Real Madrid orchestrated a remarkable comeback against Almería in an eventful match that saw them triumph with a 3-1 victory. The team’s successful La Liga start continued as they secured their second consecutive win, propelling them to the top of the league standings, albeit temporarily.
The battle at the Power Horse Stadium was anything but straightforward, as Real Madrid had to overturn an early goal conceded from Arribas. However, they managed to shift the momentum in their favor, with Bellingham’s double and a Vini Jr. strike proving pivotal in sealing the win.
The journey to victory was an uphill climb from the very beginning. Merely three minutes into the game, Almería capitalized on a swift counter-attack that culminated in Arribas’ close-range header finding the back of the net. Real Madrid had their chances to level the score, most notably when Maximiano’s safe hands thwarted Tchouameni’s forceful header from Kroos’ corner on the 7-minute mark.
The turning point arrived in the 19th minute, when Valverde’s attempt on goal triggered a scramble in front of the net. Bellingham’s persistence paid off as his effort struck the inside of the post before trickling across the goal line. This marked the beginning of Real Madrid’s ascendancy in the game, during which they exhibited their most dominant phase. Rodrygo came close to securing the lead for the team, but his shot narrowly missed the target.
Almería responded with a fierce strike from Baba that demanded an acrobatic save from Lunin to keep the scoreline level. The first half concluded with a disallowed goal for Kroos, who found the back of the net only to have it invalidated due to a foul by Carvajal in the buildup, as confirmed by VAR.
The second half commenced with an intense pace, though clear-cut chances were scarce until the 60th minute. At that juncture, Kroos delivered a precise pass to Bellingham, who skillfully timed his header to find the net, securing his brace and propelling Real Madrid ahead at 2-1.
With 73 minutes on the clock, Vini Jr. displayed finesse as he controlled the ball with his back to the goal, executed a swift spin, and fired a shot from outside the box. The ball took a deflection off Chumi before evading Maximiano, extending Real Madrid’s lead to 3-1.
Despite further opportunities, the scoreline remained unchanged. Real Madrid expertly managed their advantage, securing their second La Liga victory on the road. The team could have widened the margin in the 89th minute, but Almería’s goalkeeper denied Carvajal’s attempt. Fran García also came close to adding another goal in injury time.
