Real Madrid Vs Pachuca Highlights, FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Ten-Man Los Blancos Punish Tuzos 3-1 To Grab First CWC Win

We바카라™re back with another live blog, and this one바카라™s a big one, it바카라™s Real Madrid vs Pachuca! Stay tuned for all the live updates, key moments, and full-time drama from the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Group H clash.

The Real Madrid vs Pachuca Group H clash at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will not be televised in India. However, fans can catch the action via live streaming on the DAZN app and website.

Real바카라™s only previous meeting with Pachuca came in the Intercontinental Cup final last December, where they cruised to a 3-0 win.

Kylian Mbappe is set to miss Real Madrid바카라™s Group H clash against Pachuca at the FIFA Club World Cup as he continues to recover from illness. The forward did not take part in the team바카라™s collective training session on Saturday and will remain at the team hotel, a Real Madrid spokesperson confirmed.

The club also stated that Mbappe, who had been admitted to a hospital in the Miami area earlier this week with acute gastroenteritis, will not travel to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the match. The Frenchman had already been ruled out of Real바카라™s tournament opener against Al Hilal, which ended in a 1-1 draw. That result left RB Salzburg on top of the group with three points following their 2-1 win over Pachuca.

Real Madrid and Pachuca meet again just over six months after their 3-0 clash in the Intercontinental Cup final, but this time in a crucial Group H battle at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.

With Mbappe sidelined, Real will look to bounce back from their opening draw against Al Hilal, while Pachuca, under interim boss Jaime Lozano, hope to overcome a winless record against European sides. History favours the Spanish giants, but Pachuca will be aiming to flip the script.

Here we go! The stage is set at the Bank of America Stadium as Pachuca take the field in their dark navy blue kit, while Real Madrid step out in their iconic all-white. The atmosphere is electric, and with the referee바카라™s whistle, we바카라™re underway, Real Madrid vs Pachuca has officially kicked off! It is Real Madrid who get us underway here.

Pachuca apply early pressure with back-to-back corners. Rondón forces Asensio into a mistake to earn the first, then nearly scores with a sharp swivel shot that deflects off a Madrid defender. The second corner is swung in from the right, but Madrid바카라™s backline clears it with ease.

Raul Asencio has had an absolute shocker. Just seven minutes into the game, the Real Madrid defender finds himself walking off the pitch after a moment of complete recklessness.

As Pachuca바카라™s Rondón burst through the middle with pace, Asencio panicked and grabbed him from behind, dragging him down just outside the box. The referee didn바카라™t hesitate, straight red. A needless foul, a poor decision, and Los Blancos are now down to ten men.

Pachuca are looking to capitalise on their early advantage and are piling the pressure on the undermanned Madrid defence. With an extra man on the pitch, they바카라™re pushing higher up and committing numbers forward. Real Madrid, meanwhile, are trying to settle down, stringing together short passes as they search for a way to break quickly and catch the Mexicans off guard.

Real Madrid win a free kick after Alan Bautista brings down his man in midfield, and it바카라™s Trent Alexander-Arnold who steps up to deliver. He swings in a hopeful cross from deep, but it lacks pace and precision, there바카라™s no real target in the box, and the Pachuca goalkeeper collects it comfortably. No trouble at all.

The tide seems to be turning in Charlotte. Even with Asencio sent off early, Real Madrid are starting to settle and dictate the pace of the game. They바카라™ve tightened up defensively and are beginning to move the ball with purpose, forcing Pachuca to retreat and absorb the pressure.

The Mexican side, who looked aggressive in the opening minutes, are now playing more conservatively, with goalkeeper Moreno seeing more of the ball as Real push forward in search of an opener.

Agustin Palavecino picks up the first yellow card of the match in the 18th minute after a clumsy challenge in midfield, leaving the referee with little choice. Just two minutes later, Real Madrid push forward with intent as Vinicius Junior unleashes a fierce shot from just outside the box, but a Pachuca defender gets in the way with a well-timed block to snuff out the danger.

Palavecino finds himself on the end of another promising Pachuca move, arriving in space as the Mexican side build through the middle. He takes a shot from distance, but it바카라™s a poor effort, lacking power and direction, and it sails well wide of the target. No trouble at all for Real Madrid.

Drama in the box! In the 25th minute, Alexei Dominguez hits the deck after a challenge, and suddenly every Pachuca player within shouting distance is screaming for a penalty. The referee isn바카라™t buying it at first, waving it away like a waiter dismissing a bad order.

But wait, he makes the dreaded VAR signal and trots over to the screen. Tension builds, the crowd holds its breath, and it's no penalty. After a quick look, the original decision stands. Pachuca can't believe it, but play goes on.

The referee blows his whistle as Kenedy gets a little too physical while battling for possession. The Pachuca winger charged in aggressively, but overstepped the mark, and Ramon Abatti quickly calls the foul against him. Free kick to Real Madrid.

Madrid are starting to find their rhythm again, and the ball rolls out to Arda Guler lurking just outside the box. He wastes no time, unleashing a low drive with his laces, clean strike, decent power, but it whistles just wide of the right post. Pachuca breathe a sigh of relief as it rolls out for a goal kick.

Moments later, the referee signals for a much-needed cooling break. Time for players (and fans) to catch their breath in this heated clash.

Against the run of play and down to ten men, Real Madrid strike first, and it바카라™s Jude Bellingham who delivers. It all starts with Fran Garcia on the left flank, who picks out Bellingham with a smart pass across the pitch. The England midfielder takes a touch, creates just enough space, and buries a low shot into the bottom-right corner.

The crowd erupts, and Bellingham soaks it all in with his trademark arms-outstretched celebration.

Ten men? No problem. Real Madrid are putting on a clinic in efficiency. In the 43rd minute, Gonzalo Garcia displays brilliant vision to unlock the defence, slipping a clever pass into the box for Arda Guler.

The youngster doesn바카라™t hesitate, a calm, first-time finish rolled perfectly into the bottom left corner. Despite being a man down, Los Blancos now hold a commanding 2-0 lead just before half-time.

It바카라™s a hot and sunny afternoon in Charlotte, with temperatures touching 33°C and no wind or rain in sight. A severe heat warning is in effect, with highs expected to reach 36°C in the coming days. It must be especially tough on the players out on the pitch, staying hydrated is absolutely crucial.

Four minutes of added time here in Charlotte. The first half isn바카라™t over just yet, a bit more action still to come.

Down to ten men but firmly on top, Real Madrid have made the most of their chances, scoring twice from just two shots on target. Despite Pachuca racking up 11 attempts, it바카라™s Los Blancos who are in command, thanks to goals from Bellingham and Guler. Asencio바카라™s early red could바카라™ve derailed them, but Xabi Alonso바카라™s side have shown grit and class. Pachuca need a big second half to get back into this.

The second half is underway in Charlotte, with Pachuca kicking things off as they look to mount a comeback. The Mexican side make a double change at the break, Alexei Dominguez and Alan Bautista make way for Gustavo Cabral and John Kennedy. Real Madrid also tweak their setup, bringing on Brahim Diaz in place of Gonzalo Garcia.

Pachuca have come out with intent and urgency, looking far more active since the restart. They're pressing higher and pushing numbers forward in search of a way back into the match. John Kennedy, one of the fresh legs introduced at half-time, charges through the midfield but ends up fouling Bellingham in the process.

Real Madrid win a free kick deep in their own half to relieve the pressure.

John Kennedy does brilliantly to bring down a loose pass on the edge of the box, showing quick control under pressure. He wastes no time and fires a shot toward the right side of goal.

Courtois is slightly out of position, but the veteran keeper recovers just in time, springing across to make a superb save and keep Real Madrid바카라™s two-goal cushion intact.

Real Madrid are controlling the game rn, even as Pachuca remain on the front foot in this second half. The Mexican side are pushing hard for a breakthrough, but Real are standing firm at the back, showing discipline and defensive maturity despite being a man down. Xabi Alonso바카라™s side look composed, soaking up the pressure without panicking.

Diaz delivers a delightful chipped ball from the right, perfectly weighted into Valverde바카라™s path. The Uruguayan times his run to perfection and meets it with a cheeky toe-poke finish, slipping it past the keeper and into the net. It바카라™s a calm, clever goal, and a hammer blow to Pachuca바카라™s hopes.

Pachuca respond to Real Madrid바카라™s third goal with a quick change, hoping to shift the momentum. With the deficit now at three, Agustin Palavecino is taken off, and Victor Guzman comes on to add fresh legs and creativity in midfield.

Pachuca hit back, and we might just have a comeback brewing!

Montiel picks up the ball outside the box, turns sharply, and lets loose with a strike toward goal. It takes a wicked deflection off Tchouameni, completely wrong-footing Courtois as it spins into the bottom-right corner. The Pachuca fans finally have something to cheer about, and with ten minutes plus stoppage time to go, this match might not be done just yet.

Just moments ago, Sanchez nearly carved out a second for Pachuca with a threatening run down the right. Cutting inside the box, he fires a sharp effort toward Courtois바카라™ near post. The Belgian keeper reacts quickly, getting his hands to it despite spilling the ball on the first attempt. He recovers just in time to smother it, that바카라™s his 10th save of the match, keeping Real firmly in control.

Five minutes of stoppage time have been added here in Charlotte, giving Pachuca a sliver of hope to push for a late surge. They win a corner from the left almost immediately, but the Real Madrid defence stays composed and clears the danger without much fuss.

That바카라™s a wrap from Charlotte! Thanks for joining us for all the action, we바카라™ll catch you soon with another live blog. Until then, stay cool and take care. Bye bye!
