Overview

• Kylian Mbappé converted a 25th-minute penalty won by Franco Mastantuono after 18-year-old goalkeeper Sherkhan Kalmurza fouled him, chipped a second in the 52nd from Thibaut Courtois’ long clearance, and sealed his treble in the 73rd with a low strike after a Rodrygo break and Arda Güler touch.
• A Kairat penalty given for a Dani Ceballos challenge on Valery Gromyko was overturned on VAR review, preserving Madrid’s clean sheet.
• Substitutes added late gloss as Eduardo Camavinga headed in a Rodrygo cross in the 83rd minute and Brahim Díaz scored in stoppage time.
• Courtois notched the assist for Mbappé’s second and made saves after Kairat’s bright opening, including early efforts within the first minute.
• The victory gives Madrid two wins from two in the league phase after a near 4,000‑mile trip for Kairat’s first home match, with coach Xabi Alonso lauding Mbappé’s decisive influence.
