Bellingham’s Two Key Moments Shape Real Madrid’s 4–0 Win

The real madrid vs málaga cf result ended 4–0 to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu on August 30, with Jude Bellingham shaping the match before half-time. The club’s official report said Bellingham scored in the 19th minute and was involved in the second goal seven minutes later, when Málaga defender Alfonso Herrero deflected the ball into his own net.

Bellingham’s opener came after he recovered possession in the opposition half and carried the ball through the defence before finishing between the goalkeeper’s legs. The move gave Real Madrid the lead in the 19th minute and changed the tempo of a match in which Málaga had begun with an attacking approach.

The second goal also started with Real Madrid’s pressure. Kylian Mbappé received a pass and tested the goalkeeper, who saved the initial effort. The ball then reached Bellingham, whose header stayed inside the area before a clearance attempt from C. Puga struck Herrero and went into the net. The official match report recorded the own goal in the 26th minute.

Mbappé added the third four minutes later. Trent Alexander-Arnold supplied the cross from the right, and the France forward finished inside the box with the inside of his right foot. The early three-goal lead meant Real Madrid had effectively decided the contest during the opening half hour, although Málaga continued to create moments before the break.

Cadena SER’s match report also described Málaga’s positive start and noted that the visitors had a chance to reduce the deficit when Rafa Rodríguez’s shot hit the post in the 43rd minute. The outlet reported an attendance of 74,799 at the Bernabéu. That account presented the result as a heavy defeat for Málaga but also recorded periods when Juan Francisco Funes’s side played with the ball and closed spaces effectively.

Real Madrid had another important moment late in the match when a penalty awarded for a handball was overturned after a VAR review. The official report said referee Juan Martínez reviewed the incident on the monitor and withdrew the decision. That left the score at 3–0 until stoppage time.

Arda Güler completed the scoring in added time after starting a counterattack and finishing it himself following a pass from Vinícius Júnior. The victory gave Real Madrid its third win in three LaLiga matches and continued the club’s perfect start at the Bernabéu. For Málaga, the return to the stadium ended in a four-goal loss despite the visitors’ early periods of resistance.
