In a dominant final, Real Madrid secured a commanding 3-0 lead over Pachuca, with Vinícius Júnior adding a third goal just after the hour mark. The Brazilian star sealed his contribution with a penalty, further cementing his pivotal role in Carlo Ancelotti’s attacking lineup.
Confident as ever in these situations, Vinícius stepped up to take the penalty. He opted for a powerful, low shot to the left side, which despite a valiant fingertip attempt by Pachuca’s goalkeeper, Moreno, was too precise and strong to stop. The ball crossed the line, igniting the celebration of Madrid fans at Lusail Stadium.
This third goal essentially confirmed Real Madrid’s victory. Already overwhelmed by the Spanish side’s control and intensity, Pachuca had no answer to the relentless pressure. The penalty also highlighted Vinícius Júnior’s significance, not just as a playmaker, but as a clinical finisher in key moments.
With this performance, Real Madrid is closer than ever to securing another international trophy, reinforcing its dominance on the global football stage.
