La Liga: Dominant Real Madrid claim win at Osasuna with Vinicius brace

MADRID: Runaway La Liga leader Real Madrid continued its march towards the title with an easy 4-2 victory away at Osasuna on Saturday, with Vinicius Jr scoring a brace.

Vinicius put the visitor ahead after four minutes, but Osasuna’s Ante Budimir levelled the score three minutes later by slotting in a close-range shot following a corner.

Dani Carvajal restored Real’s lead after 18 minutes, using the outside of his foot to steer a curving shot into the far corner.

Brahim Diaz scored the third goal for the visitors in the 61st minute before Vinicius got his second three minutes later with a low finish from a tight angle inside the box.

Osasuna got its second goal in stoppage time when Iker Munoz received a cutback inside the box and sent a powerful shot into the net. Agencies
