Real Madrid have had problems against lower league opponents in the Copa del Rey in recent history, particularly against Alcoyano. However, they show no signs of giving Deportiva Minera hope and take a commanding lead early on.

Fede Valverde opened the scoring after just six minutes as he continued his run of fine goals by volleying past Fran Martinez to give Carlo Ancelotti’s side the advantage.

Another six minutes later, Real Madrid had doubled their lead, with Eduardo Camavinga also involved. After Fran Garcia made a great attempt to win the ball back high up, he then delivered an excellent cross. Camavinga rose highest to transform it.

Los Blancos have had a lot of fun so far against the fourth division team from Murcia. Carlo Ancelotti gave debuts to right-back Lorenzo Aguado and centre-back Diego Aguado, but neither has looked out of place so far.
