Four minutes added on.
Hugo Duro
Comeback on? Hugo Duro could have had a hatful in the first half and he finally gets his goal in the 88th minute.
Hugo González gets half a yard on the right and curls in a fine cross which Duro gets to first, poking the ball into the corner.
Andriy Lunin gets a hand to it, but can't keep it out.

Real Madrid have scored five goals in a game for the first time since 12 September, 2021 - when they beat Celta de Vigo 5-2.
Rodrygo
That's five and a second for Rodrygo!
It's a brilliant goal. He collects the ball on the turn in the area, sits down his defender with a fine chop, and then he hammers the ball past Valencia stopper Giorgi Mamardashvili into the net.
A perfect night for Real.

Almost a fifth. Lucas Vázquez trickles the ball down the right to overlapping captain Dani Carvajal.
Having already scored one, the full-back wants another and spots a gap at Giorgi Mamardashvili's near post. He almost sneaks a shot in too but the keeper sticks out a toe to get to the ball and poke it behind.

Pass, pass, pass, win a free-kick. Real look so comfortable.

More changes. Valencia's Hugo Gonzálezis replaces Fran Pérez.

Real want a penalty as a Vinícius Júnior cross is blasted into the arm of Valencia defender Yarek Gasiorowski.
VAR checks it and says no penalty and rightly so. Not sure the defender had time to get his arm out of the way.
Real Madrid 4-0 Valencia
Ex-Arsenal defender Gabriel Paulista completely wipes out Eduardo Camavinga and is booked for his 'tackle'.
Real Madrid take the free-kick quickly and Luka Modric's speedy cross has Giorgi Mamardashvili struggling. The stopper backpedals and tips the ball over the bar.

Real play some lovely stuff don't they?
Brahim Díaz, playing in that Bellingham role, flicks the ball forward to Vinícius Júnior but Valencia stopper Giorgi Mamardashvili is quick of his line again and beats the forward to the ball.
