Real Madrid Wins 3-2 at Elche with Late Espi Goal
Carlos Espi netted the decisive goal in the 91st minute, saving Real Madrid from a significant upset in their 3-2 victory over Elche in LaLiga.
Under Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid initially seemed headed for a straightforward win. A Matias Dituro own goal and a strike by Kylian Mbappe gave them a strong lead at the Estadio Martínez Valero.
However, Elche mounted a strong comeback. Abiel Osorio and Fer Nino scored, leveling the score and bringing the hosts close to securing a draw.
Elche’s aggressive play in pursuit of a goal left them vulnerable. In added time, a swift counter-attack saw Mbappe set up Espi for the winning tap-in, preventing Madrid from suffering another costly setback in the LaLiga title chase.
This win puts Madrid level on points with Barcelona at the league's summit. Hansi Flick's team is scheduled to play Racing Santander on Wednesday.
