Overview
- Kylian Mbappé netted his fourth Champions League hat-trick, opening from the spot on 25 minutes before adding two second-half goals in Almaty.
- The opener followed a foul on Franco Mastantuono by 18-year-old goalkeeper Sherkhan Kalmurza, and Mbappé’s second came from a Thibaut Courtois long clearance he chipped over the keeper.
- Mbappé completed his treble in the 73rd minute after build-up play involving Rodrygo and Arda Güler, extending his prolific start to the season.
- Substitutes Eduardo Camavinga and Brahim Díaz scored late to cap the 5-0 victory, giving Madrid two wins from two in the league phase.
- Kairat, in their first Champions League group-stage campaign and short on goalkeepers through injury, had a penalty award overturned by VAR during the second half.
