Real Madrid appeared to be at an average level and were 0-0 until Benzema cooperated well with Vinicius Jr.
The French striker sent a long pass to Vinicius, then ran to the empty space to get the ball back and shot with a touch on the homeowners net.

Vallecano goalkeeper Luca Zidane played the son of former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, and he was extremely proud that the Royals were late in swinging his net after he had saved more than one dangerous ball.
