Recap
James Rodriguez and Karim Benzema scored the goals for Real, who were far from their best against a tricky Espanyol side. Real used their individual quality to decide the match with two flashes.
First, Rodriguez slid past two defenders and unleashed a great shot from long range to beat goalkeeper Diego Lopez just before half-time. Team-mate Gareth Bale was impressed:
Great goal from @jamesdrodriguez ⚽
