Alavés cannot find a reward for their work at the Bernabéu (3-0)

The Deportivo Alaves was defeated by the Real Madrid (3-0) with goals from Marco Asensio, Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema -all of them in the second half- in a match that the team from Vitoria faced for an hour at the Bernabéu.

Thus, it was the Galician Jason who had the clearest chance of the first half for Alavés. those of Jose Luis Mendilibar were daring within their circumstances and did not give up the attack, against a local team that did not show the usual mordant at home.

In the second half, with the effort in their legs, Alavés began to suffer from their rival’s reactions but also hit when they could. Benzema forced to lejeune to take a low shot from under the sticks. However, it was the babazorros who were able to get ahead on the scoreboard with Peter Pons as protagonist. The Catalan took advantage of a bad loan from Asensio to stay hand in hand against Courtois, but he rushed into his cut and finished off when it seemed that he had everything in his favor.

A minute later came the goal of Asensio, a left-footed shot to the squad that blew up the Bernabéu. The Balearic complained about the whistles in the stands and vindicated himself in the celebration. The goal appeased the Basques, who finished the match stuck in their area as a result of the confidence acquired by the Whites. Benzema crashed the leather at the base of the post in that section.

And a little later the 2-0 in boot of Viniciuswhich culminated a masterpiece of Asensio and Benzema with two heels inside the area. A play of many carats that sentenced the entire game.

As the icing on the cake for the locals, the referee awarded a penalty lejeune on Rodrygo already in the added time that Benzema was in charge of transforming.
