Espanyol's Victor Gomez, right, runs past Real Madrid's Karim Benzema during the Spanish La Liga soccer match between RCD Espanyol and Real Madrid at the Cornella-El Prat stadium in Barcelona, Spain, Sunday, June 28, 2020.
He used a no-look pass with his heel to poke the ball through the legs of defender Bernardo Espinosa and meet Casemiro’s move into the heart of the box. Zinedine Zidane’s team took advantage of Barcelona’s 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo on Saturday by securing a fifth straight win since the league resumed following a three-month stoppage as Spain contained its Covid-19 outbreak.
But Madrid proved the more dangerous side throughout. Casemiro forced goalkeeper Diego Lopez to palm his lob from Madrid’s own half over the bar before Benzema tested him with a powerful shot in the 36th.

Rufete is the team’s fourth coach this season.Paco Alcacer and Gerard Moreno scored two superb goals to help Villarreal beat regional rival Valencia 2-0 and stay in the fight for a Champions League spot.Moreno added a second goal just before halftime off a brilliant pass from Santi Cazorla in an impressive team move.
