Real Madrid beat Real Valladolid 2-0 on Saturday in caretaker manager Santiago Solari's first La Liga game in charge of Los Blancos, thanks to a Kiko Olivas own goal and a Sergio Ramos penalty.
Los Blancos began the game brightly but fizzled out quickly against an organised visiting side. Enes Unal and Toni Villa both had sights of goal for Real Valladolid in the opening 45 minutes but couldn't find a way past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
The hosts improved slightly after the break but needed a slice of luck to open the scoring on 83 minutes.
