Real Madrid secured a narrow 3-2 victory over Elche during Matchday 6 of the Spanish La Liga season on September 15, 2026. The win kept the Spanish giants at the top of the standings despite a dramatic late challenge from their opponents.
French forward Kylian Mbappé was instrumental in the three-point haul, contributing both a goal and an assist. His performance highlighted the attacking threat he continues to pose for the Madrid side as they navigate a competitive campaign.
Although Real Madrid controlled much of the contest, Elche mounted a significant threat in the closing stages, forcing the visitors to weather a nervous period before securing the win. The result underscores the challenges of maintaining consistency in La Liga, where even dominant performances can be tested by resilient opposition.
Top of the table still looks comfortable though. Three points is all that matters in this league.
I’m just glad we survived. Keeping clean sheets won’t happen if we concede late goals like this.
Elche should be embarrassed dropping two leads at home. Some call this Real Madrid’s weakness again.
Mbappé is already blending in so well! Two goal contributions in six games is an incredible start.
Another gritty win, but that defensive lapse in the final ten minutes is worrying. We need to tighten up.
