New Delhi, Dec. 18 -- Kylian Mbappe scored twice and Real Madrid beat third-division club Talavera 3-2 in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.

Mbappe converted a 41st-minute penalty and sealed the victory late in the second half with a shot from outside the area for his 10th goal in his last six matches in all competitions with Madrid. Mbappe also was involved in the play that led to an own-goal by Manuel Farrando in first-half stoppage time.

"He was decisive," Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said. "Kylian has that knack for scoring. The third goal was key, which is why we kept him on the pitch and why he started."

Talavera cut Madrid's lead with goals by Nahuel Arroyo in the 80th and Gonzalo Di Renzo in second-half stoppage time...
