Real Madrid shrugged off an early red card for Raul Asencio to move closer to the knockout stages of the Club World Cup after a 3-1 win over Mexican side Pachuca in Charlotte.

Asencio was sent off in the seventh minute for hauling down Salomon Rondon and things looked bleak for the Spanish giants, who had been held to a frustrating draw by Al Hilal in their opening match, and were missing Kylian Mbappe due to illness.

But after soaking up a spell of pressure, Real broke the deadlock through Jude Bellingham in the 35th minute before Arda Guler doubled the lead ahead of half-time.

Federico Valverde volleyed in a third with 20 minutes left, before the Mexicans grabbed a late consolation through Elias Montiel’s deflected effort.

The European champions went into their final Group B match at risk of elimination following a shock loss to the Brazilian side, but goals from Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Achraf Hakimi proved enough to top the group.

Atletico, thumped 4-0 by PSG in their opening match, needed to win by three clear goals to progress but a late winner from substitute Antoine Griezmann was not enough and it was Botafogo who reached the next stage.

Bayern Munich top the Group C standings with six points, having won two out of two games played.

Benfica are second on four points, having won one, drawn one, while Boca Juniors are third with one point, having drawn one and lost one – but could overhaul the Portuguese squad with a bigger win over Auckland City, who sit bottom of the pile with nil points.

The pair sit first and second in Group C with the German side already assured of progressing to the knockout rounds.

Benfica, meanwhile, need a point to make certain of advancing alongside their opponents – Boca Juniors could yet overhaul them if they secure a bigger win against Auckland City than the Portuguese side’s 6-0 thrashing.

That game kicks off simultaneously as the round of 16 line-up begins to take shape at the expanded club tournament.
