Espí Saves Real Madrid in 91st Minute | MLS News

Real Madrid clawed back from a shaky 2-0 halftime lead to snatch a dramatic 3-2 win against Elche, thanks to Carlos Espí’s 91st-minute heroics. The team’s complacency in the second half allowed Elche to tie it, but Espí’s late strike saved the day — though manager Mourinho won’t be pleased with the defensive lapses. Yan Diomande made his first start count with an assist for Mbappé and showed versatility, while Mbappé continued his scoring streak with four goals in three games. Midfielders Arda Güler and Tchouaméni struggled under pressure, but Güler dazzled with a stunning free kick. Despite dominating possession, Real Madrid’s sloppy defending let Elche sneak in two goals — a worrying sign ahead of their next big derby.
