At the Bernabeu, Real Madrid overcame a deficit to defeat Mallorca and keep their perfect season record intact. Federico Valverde's excellent shot from the edge of the area gave Real Madrid an equalizer in the last seconds of the first half. Following a run by Rodrygo, who scored an outstanding individual goal, Vinicius Jr. gave them the lead with a composed finish, and Antonio Rudiger added a fourth with a volley. The German defender's goal in the third minute of stoppage time was his first since joining Real Madrid on a free transfer in the summer when his contract with Chelsea expired.
Karim Benzema, a forward for the defending Spanish champions who have 15 points from five games, was sidelined because of a thigh injury he sustained during the team's 3-0 Champions League victory at Celtic.
