Second-half strikes by Federico Valverde, Brahim Diaz and Endrick gave feeble Real Madrid an unconvincing 3-0 win over lowly Real Valladolid on Sunday, earning the defending champion its first win of the La Liga season.
Although Real dominated possession, it struggled to breach Valladolid’s ultra-defensive approach until breaking the deadlock from a free kick in the 50th minute, with Valverde slotting in a thunderous strike from the edge of the box.
Late strikes by substitutes Diaz, in the 88th minute, and Endrick, six minutes deep in added time, secured Real a win that failed to tell the full story of their lacklustre performance.
Real Madrid is third in the La Liga standings with four points from two games, two points behind leader Barcelona and Celta Vigo.
