Rodrygo played a pivotal role in securing a vital 2-1 victory for Real Madrid over Deportivo Alaves on Sunday in LaLiga, marking an end to the team’s recent spell of poor performances. This win is particularly significant as it keeps Madrid just four points behind league leaders Barcelona.
The match saw Real Madrid, facing mounting pressure after suffering two consecutive losses in all competitions, take the initiative when Kylian Mbappe scored a breathtaking goal in the first half. However, Deportivo Alaves demonstrated their resilience by equalizing in the 68th minute through Carlos Vicente.
Not deterred by the setback, Real Madrid quickly regained the lead just eight minutes later. A rapid counter-attack, orchestrated by Vinicius Jr, culminated in an assist to Rodrygo, who converted to seal the victory.
As a result of this win, Real Madrid holds on to the second position in the LaLiga standings with 39 points, while Deportivo Alaves finds themselves in 12th place with 18 points. This positive outcome not only boosts Real’s confidence but also positions them well for the upcoming challenges in the league.
