Vinicius Junior scored and also assisted as Real Madrid plunked out a 3-0 win over Real Oviedo in a match played on Sunday.
The Brazilian forward, who did not warm up with the rest of the team in the starting lineup by coach Xabi A losango, came in the place of Rodrygo in the 63 rd minute with Madrid already 1-0 ahead courtesy of the goal scored by Kylian Mbapp at the half-hour mark.
Shortly afterwards, Vinà sais made Mbappà e score his second of the night before the former scored Madrid a third goal in injury time. His gestures were in the spotlight too – at one point he seemed to exchange words with referee Ricardo de Burgos as Mbapp 256 e intervened, and he clashed with the home crowd after his 93rd-minute goal.
Alonso was pleased with the contribution of the forward, after the game:
Vini did fine on entering named two decisive goals. We are pleased with those who started and those who came into play. There many games to play by all.
The 24-year-old was omitted after a below par game in the first LaLiga match against Osasuna. Reportes in Spain have indicated that the club is yet to reach an agreement with vinicius with his contract expiring in June 2027.
Rodrygo, who took over on the left wing in Vinicius absence is also purported to have requested more time on that wing with rumors swirling that he is under consideration to leave. Alonso stated that the Brazilian played a good game and in combination with others, Carreras, Giler, and Mbapp,e.
Captain Dani Carvajal, who came back into the starting XI instead of new signing Trent Alexander-Arnold was commended as well as newcomer Franco Mastantuono, the 19-year-old, who made his first start in the famous shirt 10 days after being presented.
Alonso evaluated the performance of the two sides in totality, saying that Madrid had played in control in the first half but Oviedo came into the game in the second half. Two late tallies though ensured that Los Blancos had a comfortable win, and continue their perfect record of the new season.
Real Madrid are thus on six points after two games they seek to recover strongly after a trophyless season last season under Carlo Ancelotti.
