Real Madrid beat Pachuca 3-0 in the final of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup in 2024 at Lusail Stadium in Lusail, Qatar on the 19th (Korea time).
The Intercontinental Cup was created to replace the Club World Cup, which was expanded and reorganized after six continental champions and host champions participated. The existing Club World Cup method was introduced as it was, and it was held anew this year. Real Madrid won the 2023-2024 European Champions League and entered the tournament in the capacity of 'European Champions' and went straight to the final without participating in the lower round. Starting from the second round, Pachuca defeated Al Ahli (Egypt) to reach the final.
Real Madrid scored the first goal in the 37th minute when Kylian Mbappe pushed the ball that Vinicius Junior gave after beating the goalkeeper. In the eighth minute of the second half, Hodrigo scored an additional goal with a right foot shot from the front of the penalty arc. Vinicius, who helped the opening goal, sealed the match in the 39th minute when he calmly finished the penalty. Vinicius scored one goal and one assist on the day, becoming the star of the Golden Ball, which is given to the tournament's most valuable player.
