"Kylian Mbappe broke the deadlock in the 30th minute with a shot that deflected on an Alaves defender and fooled goalkeeper Antonio Sivera. Mbappe, the league's leading scorer with 24 goals, hadn't found the net in a league game since February."
"Vinicius added to Madrid's lead with a long-range strike in the 50th. The Brazil forward hadn't scored in his last six games between club and country."
"Alaves, sitting one point above the relegation zone, pulled one closer with a goal by Toni Martinez in second-half stoppage time. Alaves has won only one of its last nine league matches."
Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory over Alaves, reducing the gap to league leaders Barcelona to six points. Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior scored for Madrid, who ended a four-game winless streak. The match marked Madrid's first game since their elimination from the Champions League by Bayern Munich. Despite a slow start and anxious fans, Madrid took the lead with Mbappe's deflected shot and Vinicius's long-range strike. Alaves, just above the relegation zone, scored late through Toni Martinez but could not equalize.
