SAVED!
Eden Hazard opts to take the penalty, and Marchesin does really well to make the save to his left to keep it out! Not what the out-of-favour Madrid man wanted there.

GOALLLLL! MADRID HAVE FOUR
There is another clinical counter attack that is executed with precision! Celta have the ball in the Madrid penalty area, but Paciencia cannot get his shot away! The home side lose the ball, and Madrid break at breakneck speed.
Vini Jr. bursts down the left, before cutting it back for Benzema in the box. The forward leaves it for Valverde to hit behind him, and the Uruguayan tucks it into the bottom-left corner from the edge of the area!

NARROWLY OVER!
Celta have had their chances tonight, and there goes another one. A corner comes in from the right, which is met by the head of Aidoo, but the defender's effort narrowly goes over the bar!

GOAL STANDS
No luck for Celta there despite their appeals.

VAR CHECK
It seems the referee is now checking at the pitchside monitor if that goal should stand because of the earlier handball.

GOALLLLL! REAL MADRID STRIKE AGAIN
Vini Jr. gets in on the act, to the annoyance of the home crowd! They think they should have another penalty as the ball hit Eder Militao's arm in the area!
Moments after that, the visitors break, and Vinicius is 1 v 1 with Marchesin after a sublime through ball from central midfield by Modric. He takes an extra touch to take the ball around the keeper that is slightly too much, but he recovers and puts the ball into the net.
