Like Barcelona, Real Madrid had to get rid of a third division team. Eden Hazard was again given a starting spot against Alcoyano, Thibaut Courtois was given a rest.
Hazard was well in the game and combined smoothly. When Militao broke the spell just before half time, the way seemed open for Real. But Dani Vega gave Alcoyano courage again with the equalizer.
Fifteen minutes before the end, Marco Asensio took care of the liberation with the help of Hazard, who had prepared the ball. Isco sealed the fate of the third division team with the 1-3, which disappeared into the goal via Alcoyano’s goalkeeper.
