Real Madrid win inaugural FIFA Intercontinental Cup

Real Madrid added another trophy to their cabinet as they ran out winners of the first FIFA Intercontinental Cup.

Scorers: Mbappé 37', Rodrygo 53', Vinícius Júnior 84' (PEN)

Mexican side Pachuca held firm for over 30 minutes, but when Vinícius Júnior sold the goalkeeper Carlos Moreno a dummy with a neat step over, it left Kylian Mbappé just to supply the finish.

Not long into the second half and Rodrygo was given too much space on the edge of the box, twisted and turned his way into a shooting position and unleashed a superb curling effort with his right foot to double Madrid's lead.

When Oussama Idrissi tripped Lucas Vázquez inside the box, a VAR check saw a penalty awarded, which Vinicius stepped up and converted.

Pachuca thought they had pulled a goal back as the match drew towards the 90 minute mark, but it was ruled out for offside.
