Real Madrid claimed their first win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Celta Vigo in a La Liga match on August 17, 2019, at Abanca-Balaídos.
Los Blancos' Karim Benzema opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a close-range finish, assisted by Gareth Bale.
However, Celta Vigo's Brais Mendez equalized for the Célticos at halftime, but the goal was disallowed due to Iago Aspas being offside.
After the restart, Real Madrid's numerical disadvantage was compounded when Luka Modric was sent off for a reckless tackle on Denis Suarez.
Despite this, Real Madrid doubled their lead with Toni Kroos scoring from distance, and Lucas Vazquez added the third goal with a cool finish from close range.
Celta Vigo managed to net a consolation goal in stoppage time through Lozada's powerful strike, but it was too little, too late for the Célticos.
Real Madrid's victory marked their first win of the season, and they will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming matches.
