Collecting the ball just outside the box, he curled a left-footed shot into the top corner, also leaving the Cadiz goalkeeper rooted to the spot. The Bernabéu erupted in celebration as Real Madrid took the lead.

Real Madrid’s defense, led by Éder Militão and Dani Carvajal, held firm. Cadiz struggled to also break through, relying on counterattacks.
