The official La Liga match record lists Mbappé's penalty in the 11th minute, Bellingham's goal in the 21st and Diomande's in the 36th. Real Madrid's club report called it the team's sixth consecutive win across all competitions.

An early lead becomes a commanding half

Mbappé converted after Prati brought him down inside the area. Bellingham then collected an Arda Güler pass behind the defense, went around goalkeeper Agirrezabala and finished for the second goal, according to Madrid's report.

Diomande supplied the third with a right-footed volley after a corner. The sequence gave Racing different problems to solve: the penalty incident, a run through the defense and a strike from a second ball outside the area.

By the interval, the question had shifted from who would find the opening to whether Racing could make a three-goal deficit competitive. Madrid had established a margin that changed the demands of the entire second half.

The score stays where the first half left it

Madrid's report described more attacking presence from Racing after the break, while the visitors continued to look for a fourth. Mbappé hit the post after the hour, but the score did not change.

The clean sheet gave the performance its completed shape. Three first-half goals would have been less comfortable if Racing had found a quick response; instead, Madrid preserved the advantage through the remaining period.

For viewers catching up from a highlight clip, the official record is the place to distinguish attempts and disallowed actions from goals that counted. The final result remained 0-3, matching the halftime margin.

A precise result, without a premature title verdict

The fixture was a league match in the 2026-27 season. Keeping that competition and date attached to the score avoids confusing it with another meeting between the clubs or an older cup result.

Madrid left Santander with three points and a sixth successive win in its overall run. That is the confirmed significance of the afternoon. Broader conclusions about the title race require the wider league picture as it develops. Read more European and U.S. coverage in Taken Social's Sports section.
