Real Madrid cruised past Sporting Braga at the Bernabeu to reach the last 16 of the Champions League.
Brahim Diaz got on the end of Rodrygo’s cutback and fired into the roof of the net to open the scoring.
Vinicius Jr slotted into the bottom corner after skipping past the Braga defense.
Vinicius Jr would then turn from scorer to assister. He set up Rodrygo with a fine pass, who then dinked the ball over the onrushing goalkeeper Matheus for the third.
Real advanced to the knockout stages for the 26th consecutive season.
Braga missed the chance to go ahead when Alvaro Djalo’s penalty was saved by goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. The penalty had been awarded after Lucas Vazquez fouled Cristian Borja in the area.
Diaz also had a goal disallowed, with Vinicius committing a foul in the build-up.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side are now unbeaten in their last nine home games in the Champions League.
Jude Bellingham was on the bench for Real because of a shoulder problem. This is the first time since joining the club that Bellingham has not started a Champions League match.
