Real Madrid defeated Santiago Wanderers 3–1 to win the 2026 U20 Intercontinental Cup at the Santiago Bernabéu. Daniel Yáñez opened the scoring from a free-kick after Alexander Dubó was sent off, but Christian Silva equalised early in the second half.
The match changed again from the bench: Fran Santamaria restored Madrid’s lead in the 81st minute and Roberto Martín completed the result in stoppage time.
UEFA recorded an attendance of 52,117, a competition record. The useful lesson is not only the scoreline; Madrid’s fresh legs and late box occupation decided a match that had stayed competitive for 80 minutes.
