In the Spanish "La Liga" championship, the last 22nd round of matches was played on a late Sunday evening.
At the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, Madrid's "Real" club hosted the "Alaves" team, who had dealt a painful blow earlier in the season as an away team. In a relatively calm match, the "white" team showed dominance with a 3-0 score.
In the 30th minute, the hosts took the lead with a goal scored by Karim Benzema, who scored his sixth goal in the last four games.
In the second half, the pace of the game dropped, and "Real" stopped pressing the opponents in their half, but they utilized their chances towards the end of the match.
In the 80th minute, the fans at the stadium were delighted by 18-year-old Vinicius Junior, who started in the lineup and scored a goal, and at the end of added time, Mariano Diaz, who returned to the pitch after many months, added the final point.
The Madrid team achieved their fourth consecutive victory in the championship and reduced the gap with "Atletico" to two points. They are eight points behind "Barcelona."
Next week, the Madrid team will compete against both "Barcelona" and "Atletico."
Result:
"Real Madrid" 3 - 0 "Alaves" 30' [1 - 0] K. Benzema 80' [2 - 0] V. Junior 90+1' [3 - 0] Mariano
