Vinicius brace powers Madrid’s 5-0 hammering of Shakhtar

Vinicius Junior scored twice, including a wondrous solo goal, to lead Real Madrid to a 5-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk and put its Champions League campaign back on track. Madrid’s lead was bolstered in the 37th minute when Shakhtar captain Sergiy Kryvtsov turned a cross by Lucas Vazquez into his own net.

Vinicius lit up the start with a goal in the 51st minute. Vinicius was on target again five minutes later, cutting past Dodo and then Kryvtsov in the penalty area before striking into the net. He then set up Rodrygo to strike into the net in the 64th. Karim Benzema completed the rout after getting on the end of Marco Asensio’s cross.
