MADRID: Vinicius Junior scored off the bench as Real Madrid beat Real Valladolid 1-0 at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano stadium on Wednesday to make it two wins and a draw in La Liga so far this season.
Federico Valverde was involved in both of Madrid's best first-half chances. The Uruguayan midfielder's shot was brilliantly denied by Valladolid keeper Roberto Jimenez, before crossing for Luka Jovic, who put a very presentable opportunity high and wide.
Jovic was unlucky not to find the net after the break with a well-placed header, and Casemiro hit the bar with the rebound. Substitute Vinicius broke the deadlock, scoring after some hapless Valladolid defending saw the ball diverted to him unmarked in front of goal. Agencies
