Club World Cup 2025: Real Madrid Dominate Pachuca To Seal 3-1 Win Despite Early Red Card
Last Updated: Real faced a setback just seven minutes into the match when Raul Asencio received a straight red card for pulling down Salomon Rondon, who had a clear path to goal. Real Madrid overcame an early red card to secure a 3-1 victory over Mexico's Pachuca, taking a significant step towards the knockout stage of the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday. With the win, Madrid, led by new head coach Xabi Alonso, tops Group H with four points, while Pachuca is eliminated after two defeats. Saudi club Al Hilal, who held Real to a draw in their opener, face second-placed Salzburg later on Sunday. The Spanish giants faced a setback just seven minutes into the match when Raul Asencio received a straight red card for pulling down Salomon Rondon, who had a clear path to goal. This situation gave Pachuca hope for an upset in front of 70,248 fans at the home of the NFL's Carolina Panthers. Pachuca came close to scoring when Brazilian Kenedy's shot was parried by Thibaut Courtois, and the Belgian goalkeeper made a brilliant save on Alan Bautista's follow-up attempt. However, Real Madrid managed to control the game in midfield, slowing the pace and limiting Pachuca's opportunities. The breakthrough came in the 35th minute with a well-executed team goal. Gonzalo Garcia's clever flick released Fran Garcia down the left, who then passed to Jude Bellingham. Bellingham took the ball in stride and scored with a left-footed shot into the corner. Just before halftime, Real doubled their lead. Trent Alexander-Arnold sent a low cross from the right, and Arda Guler collected Gonzalo's deft lay-off to fire home. The outcome was sealed in the 70th minute when Federico Valverde scored following a smart exchange with Brahim Diaz. Pachuca finally got on the scoreboard when Elias Montiel's shot deflected off Aurelien Tchouameni and wrong-footed Courtois. Alonso, celebrating his first victory as Real coach, praised his team's handling of the early setback. 'We had to defend with one player less for almost the entire game, which made it intense for us. But we showed a lot of sacrifice and solidarity in our defence, which is what's needed," he said. 'We waited for our chances, so I was really pleased with the performance with a player less," he added.

We won't be as tired as we were in Intercontinental: Pachuca striker Rondon ahead of Madrid clash
Charlotte: Pachuca striker Salomon Rondon said his team will be better prepared to face Real Madrid at the FIFA Club World Cup than when the sides met in last year's Intercontinental Cup final. Madrid won that match 3-0 against a Pachuca team that struggled with a heavy schedule. "We already know what it's like to face Real Madrid, although this time we won't be as tired as we were in the Intercontinental Cup final, where it was clear we were coming off two extremely demanding matches," Rondon was quoted by Xinhua ahead of Sunday's game in Charlotte "There will be a noticeable difference in that regard, and I think it will be a great match to watch." The Mexican side must win to keep alive its hopes of reaching the knockout stage after a 2-1 loss to Salzburg in their Group H opener. Madrid, meanwhile, was held to a 1-1 draw by Al-Hilal in their first game. Rondon, a key figure in Pachuca's 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup triumph, said he is embracing his role as a mentor to his younger teammates. "I love being of help. We have a young squad, but one that's eager to progress," the 35-year-old said, adding that he is taking the tournament "very seriously". "Participating in this tournament means a lot to me. We represent Mexico and CONCACAF, but also, in my case, Venezuela. You see the level of the other participants and realize the magnitude, which is why we approach the tournament with the utmost respect," he said. Meanwhile, Real Madrid's centre back Dean Huijsen, who has joined the club for seasons earlier this month, said, 'It's a dream come true for me. I think every kid dreams of playing for Real Madrid. It's the greatest club in the world and I'm so happy and really proud to be here." 'It's a great group and there's real togetherness in the dressing room. We're thrilled to have Xabi Alonso here as well. I think he has loads of good ideas and we're going to have some great years together. We are Real Madrid. We have to win and I think we're going to do just that," he added.

Rondon lifts Venezuela's World Cup hopes
Xinhua 07 Jun 2025, 07:25 GMT+10 MATURIN, Venezuela, June 6 (Xinhua) -- Salomon Rondon scored his 47th international goal as Venezuela kept alive hopes of qualifying for its first FIFA World Cup with a 2-0 home win over Bolivia on Friday. The hosts were gifted an early lead in the eastern city of Maturin when Hector Cuellar played the ball back to Guillermo Viscarra only for the goalkeeper to misread the bounce as the ball rolled into his net. Former Everton and Newcastle United striker Rondon, who is Venezuela's all-time top scorer, doubled the lead by capitalizing on chaotic defending to smash a low 12-yard effort into the near corner. The Vinotinto is seventh in the 10-team South American qualifying group with 18 points, four ahead of eighth-placed Bolivia with three matchdays remaining. The top six teams will automatically qualify for next year's World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada while the seventh-ranked side will enter a playoff. Earlier on Friday, Colombia was held to a goalless draw in its qualifier against Peru in Barranquilla.
