Perfect 5 In Russia.

Real Madrid travelled to Shakhtar Donetsk for their third game of the UEFA Champions League campaign and it ended in a victory for them after they thrashed Shakhtar Donetsk by 5 goals without reply. Vinicius Junior proved to be a thorn in the flesh of their Russian counterparts as he completely dominated the attack and Madrid came out with the win.

Madrid made it look easy and Shakhtar had no way back after scoring an own goal before Vinicius scored a double and afterwards, Rodrygo and Karim Benzema added the gloss to the scoreline to give them the maximum 3 points on the night.

Vinicius started the game on the front foot for his side after his lovely shot in the 7th minute was saved by the goalkeeper. Casemiro also tried to bundle the ball into the back of the net in the 19th minute but his attempt was blocked off for a corner kick.

Shakhtar Donetsk were not without a chance of their own in the 23rs minute after a well-worked effort saw Ismaily race through on the side of the box and his ball into the box was quickly cleared off. It would have been an easy tap in for Tete had Mendy not intervened.

In the 37th minute, Shakhtar Donetsk got a shocker after a long ball that was intended for Benzema was bundled home by their captain. He was trying to clear the ball but he got his angle wrong and the ball found the back of the net in an emphatic fashion to give Madrid the lead.

In the 51st minute, Madrid doubled their advantage as Benzema's effort down the line helped as he picked out Modric whose one-time pass into the box found the movement of Vinicius who managed to get the ball beyond the reach of the goalkeeper into the back of the net with a beautiful chipped effort.

Just 5 minutes after, Benzema was at the heart of things again as he found Vinicius just outside the box. Vinicius had it all to do as he took on his markers with a brilliant twist and turns to evade them and he roofed his effort into the back of the net. What a great piece of individual brilliance.

Rodrygo got the 4th goal for Real Madrid in the 64th minute after Vinicius' brilliant cut back into the box found him and he latched on to the ball as it found the roof of the net. It was a perfect display from Real Madrid after their shock defeat at the hands of Sheriff.

In the 70th minute, despite a brilliant performance from him, he hoped he would add to the scoreline too but it wasn't to be as he managed to keep the ball in play with his head and his deft touch positioned him well but the goalkeeper denied him what would have been a wonderful goal worthy of a captain's performance after seeing the way he got involved in almost all the goals.

He wasn't to be denied in the 91st minute though as Asensio picked him out inside the box and he scored with ease and experience to make it 5-0 away from home. It was a well-deserved victory for Real Madrid.
