RB Salzburg 0-3 Real Madrid, FIFA Club World Cup 2025: RMA Through To Round Of 16

Vinícius Júnior scored a goal and assisted on another in Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Salzburg on Thursday night that secured the Spanish powerhouse first place in the Club World Cup’s Group H and a spot in the round of 16. Vinícius gave the 64,811 soaking wet fans at Lincoln Financial Field something to cheer for by scoring on a left-footed shot right outside the penalty box in the 40th minute. Jude Bellingham left Vinícius in position to score with a breakaway pass that took advantage of the wet field conditions caused by the rain. Eight minutes later, a deflected pass by Mamady Diambou left Vinícius one-on-one against Joane Gadou inside Salzburg’s penalty box. Having no angle to shoot, Vinícius delivered a backheel pass to Federico Valverde that left the Uruguayan wide open to score from 10 yards out.
