Before tonight's event, the Spanish capital club had started the season's tournament with two wins and one loss.

Most recently, it was a 5-0 victory away against Sjachtar and today a return meeting awaited.

Then it became a new win.

Real Madrid immediately grabbed the baton and the constant pressure at the beginning of the match would pay off.

The deadlock was broken after only 14 minutes of play.

An alert Vinicius Junior stole the ball from Sjachtars Marlon, then served Karim Benzema to 1-0 - a goal that made Real Madrid celebrate twice.

In addition to giving it a step closer to three points, it was also the team's 1000th (!) Hit in the Champions League, a listing that the meringues are the first to achieve.

After the goal, however, the home team slowed down.

Shafts switched up and with six minutes left in the first half, the guests managed to equalize.

Fernando thundered, after Alan Patrick's knockdown, in 1-1.

In the 61st it was time for the same combination as in the 1-0 goal.

Vinicius Junior was again responsible for the performance to Benzema who could put in 2-1.

It was also the end result.

Real Madrid will face Sheriff Tiraspol in the next Champions League round.

Shafts are set against Inter.
