FT: GRANADA 1-4 REAL MADRID
Real Madrid enjoyed a comfortable evening against Granada at Los Carmenes in a match that saw two academy prospects, Miguel Gutierrez and Marvin Park, shine bright.
Real opened the scoring after 17 minutes when 19-year-old Miguel delivered a wonderful ball down the left flank and found Luka Modric who nutmegged Rui Silva from a tight angle.
Los Blancos doubled their lead in the first minute of stoppage time when their other young full-back Marvin got a crucial touch down the right flank, which allowed Rodrygo to run down and beat Silva from a tight angle.
Granada got back in it on 71 minutes when Jorge Molina picked up a loose save from Thibaut Courtois and hit the net.
But Alvaro Odriozola ended the hosts’ hopes of a comeback in the 75th minute when he picked up a wonderful pass by Eden Hazard from the left flank and sent the ball to Silva’s top right corner.
Karim Benzema sealed Real’s win a minute later when Granada’s keeper made a terrible run off his area and the French star dispossessed him before scoring from long range
