Cristiano Ronaldo Brace Powers Real Madrid to Dominant Win vs. Alaves

Real Madrid cruised to a 4-0 victory over Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo double and goals from Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema.

Ronaldo opened the scoring just before half-time after being teed up by a superb backheel from Benzema. Bale added a second just 28 seconds after the restart, before Ronaldo secured his brace on the hour mark and Benzema converted a late penalty.

Zinedine Zidane restored Bale to his starting lineup but also also included Lucas Vazquez out on the right of a 4-4-2.
