Carlos Espi's Late Goal Secures Victory for Real Madrid
In a La Liga match at the Mario Martinez Valero stadium in Alicante, Real Madrid faced Elche, who had previously lost 5-0 to Barcelona this season. Real Madrid, managed by Jose Mourinho, took a 2-0 lead with an own goal from Matias Dituro following an Arda Guler free kick at the 25-minute mark, and Kylian Mbappe scored the second goal eight minutes later with an assist from Yan Diomande.
However, Elche equalized with two goals in 12 minutes from Abiel Osorio and Fer Nimo. Teenage summer signing Carlos Espi, who came on as a substitute, initially missed a chance to regain the lead but ultimately scored the winner by slotting into an empty net from a pass by Mbappe, following a setup by Jude Bellingham.
With this victory, Real Madrid moved to second place in the La Liga table with 15 points from six matches, tied on points with leaders Barcelona, who have a superior goal difference.
