key match details
Real Madrid declared intent and found the back of the net early on . Kylian Mbappe's early opener was chalked off for offside, but the French phenom would get his pound of flesh later in the game.
Leganes managed to keep Los Blancos at bay for nearly 45 minutes. Adria Altimira's costly mistake outside his own area allowed Vinicius Jr to spring Mbappe, who coolly slotted into an unguarded net, just before half time.
Their woes deepened with 25 minutes remaining, as Fede Valverde's free-kick slipped through the legs of Miguel de la Fuente and caught Marko Dmitrovic off guard at the near post.
Leganes never regained their footing, failing to muster a single shot on target. Jude Bellingham's late strike sealed the triumph, propelling Real Madrid above into second place, four points shy of leaders Barcelona with a game in hand.
