The capital club thus maintains the gap of eight points to arch-rival Barcelona in 2nd place.
Real Madrid got off to a dream start to the match when Rodrygo tapped the ball into the crossbar from outside the penalty area after just eight minutes.
– Great scoring. Magnificently done by the Brazilian, exclaimed TV 2 commentator Robin Grov.
However, it would take 65 minutes for Rodrygo to score his second goal of the night after being played in by Jude Bellingham.
– It is a world-class counter game, concluded Grov.
The 23-year-old thus has ten goals this season. He has also recorded five assists.
Bellingham’s assist was also his 10th. He is thus the first to have double-digit goals (16 goals) and assists in La Liga this season, according to Eight.
The home fans also got a happy reunion with Eder Militão, who has been out injured since the opening victory in August. The Brazilian was substituted in overtime and only got two scant minutes on the pitch.
