Espanyol 0-2 Real Madrid

After a scoreless first half where Espanyol's defence held firm, Vinicius Junior broke the deadlock in the 55th minute following a slick exchange with Gonzalo Garcia.

The Brazilian secured his brace ten minutes later, finishing clinically after being played through by a Jude Bellingham assist.

Getafe 0-2 Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano claimed a vital away win in this Madrid derby. Sergio Camello provided the breakthrough in the 38th minute with a superb long-range effort that left the Getafe keeper helpless.
