The result ensures Real Madrid maintains a perfect start to their European campaign, securing six points from two matches.
Mbappé Takes Centre Stage
The match, played at the Ortalyq Stadion, began with an unexpected early scare as the hosts created a chance within the first minute, but Real Madrid soon established control.
The French superstar took full command of the game after the break, scoring two quick-fire goals to complete his fourth Champions League hat-trick.
• 52nd Minute: Mbappé doubled the lead with a moment of brilliance, latching onto a rare long ball from goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, outpacing the Kairat defence, and clinically chipping the advancing keeper.
• 73rd Minute: He sealed his treble in style, unleashing a thunderous strike from the edge of the box into the top corner after a dazzling run and assist by substitute Rodrygo.
Substitutes Add Late Gloss
Real Madrid's strength in depth was highlighted in the final ten minutes as substitutes contributed two more goals to complete the rout:
• 83rd Minute: Substitute Eduardo Camavinga nodded home his first-ever Champions League goal, connecting with a precise cross from Rodrygo.
• 90+3rd Minute: Fellow substitute Brahim Díaz wrapped up the scoring in stoppage time, slotting home a close-range finish following a pass from Gonzalo García.
A Powerful Response
The victory provided the perfect tonic for Real Madrid, who were coming off a disappointing league defeat. The dominant performance, particularly Mbappé’s individual brilliance and the contributions from the bench, sends a clear message about their intent in the European competition.
For Kairat Almaty, the heavy loss served as a challenging lesson in their debut Champions League season. They remain in search of their first point as Real Madrid now looks forward to their next fixture, buoyed by a prolific night in Kazakhstan.
