Despite being underestimated, Girona had the first dangerous chances with Bryan Gil and Donny van de Beek, but they could not capitalize. Real Madrid quickly regained control and continuously pressed Girona. The first goal came in the 36th minute when Bellingham took advantage of a chaos in Girona's penalty area to score.
In the second half, Real Madrid continued to attack strongly. Arda Guler scored the second goal in the 55th minute after a delicate pass from Bellingham. This was Guler's first goal of the season.
Not stopping there, Kylian Mbappe also spoke up, scoring the third goal for the Spanish Royal team in the 62nd minute. After a sharp counter-attack and an accurate pass from Luka Modric, Mbappe finished delicately from a narrow angle to defeat goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga. This was Mbappe's ninth goal in La Liga this season.
In the end, the match ended with a 3-0 victory for Real Madrid. The three points earned helped Mbappe and his teammates have 36 points, narrowing the gap with the top-ranked Barcelona to 2 points.
As for Girona, the defeat continues their poor run of form. The Catalans are currently eighth in La Liga after 16 games and will need to bounce back quickly as they prepare to host Liverpool in the Champions League next week.
