Valencia 0–3 Real Madrid: Valverde, Güler and Mbappé Secure the Mestalla Win
The Valencia vs Real Madrid result was 0–3 at Mestalla on Saturday, 7 November 2026. Federico Valverde opened the scoring, Arda Güler doubled the lead before half-time and Kylian Mbappé added the third in the second half.
The official LaLiga match centre records the game as a completed Matchday 12 fixture. The goals came in the 28th, 36th and 75th minutes, giving Madrid a two-goal lead at the interval and a clean sheet at full-time.
The confirmed scoring timeline
| Minute | Scorer | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 28 | Federico Valverde | Valencia 0–1 Real Madrid |
| 36 | Arda Güler | Valencia 0–2 Real Madrid |
| 75 | Kylian Mbappé | Valencia 0–3 Real Madrid |
Three different scorers contributed, and Madrid did not need to overturn an early deficit. The eight-minute interval between the opening two goals was the first decisive stretch: Valencia moved from a level game to a two-goal disadvantage before the break.
Valencia had an opening before Madrid scored
Valencia’s own match report describes an early chance for Mayol, whose effort forced Courtois into a save. It then records Valverde’s opener from a rebound following a free kick and Güler’s second eight minutes later.
That sequence is useful context for the final score. The hosts had an opportunity while the match was still level, but Madrid were the side to turn the next phase into goals. A 0–3 result does not mean Valencia went through the entire evening without a threatening moment.
The home club’s match sheet confirms Mestalla as the venue and Francisco Hernández as the referee. It also records Gayà’s dismissal, alongside the scoring details. Those disciplinary events belong to the match record; they do not change the fact that Madrid had already established their lead.
Mbappé supplied the third before Gayà’s red card
In Real Madrid’s report, Güler set up Mbappé for the 75th-minute finish. Gayà was sent off in the 79th minute after a foul on the French forward. The order matters: the third goal preceded Valencia being reduced to ten players.
Madrid’s account also describes a series of saves by Dimitrievski after half-time, including attempts from Güler, Mbappé and Bellingham. The goalkeeper’s interventions delayed the third goal, but Valencia could not turn that period into a scoring response of their own.
What the win adds to Madrid’s recent run
The away club identifies this as its eighth consecutive victory across LaLiga and the Champions League, heading into the international break. It also says Mbappé has scored in seven consecutive matches. Those streaks describe the scope given in the club report; the eight wins should not be relabelled as eight league victories.
As a reading of this match, Madrid’s advantage came from combining two first-half goals with another after the interval. They had a margin to protect without having to rely on it alone. Adding the third before the dismissal made the closing phase less dependent on a single incident.
Valencia’s immediate problem in the match was the size of the recovery required. At half-time, one goal would still have left them behind; after the 75th minute, they needed three just to level. That simple progression explains why the timing of Madrid’s goals is more informative than treating the final margin as three isolated scoring events.
How to read the result without overstating it
The score establishes a three-goal away win and a clean sheet. It does not, on its own, establish the league title outlook or Madrid’s position after every other Matchday 12 fixture. A live league table can change as the round continues, so a result report should be kept separate from an assumed final weekend ranking.
For supporters catching up in India, the fixture date is 7 November in the official competition record, even if they read the result on Sunday morning. The completed sequence is clear: Valverde and Güler put Madrid ahead before half-time, Mbappé extended the advantage, and Valencia finished without a goal.
