Real Madrid had to be patient to get the win, but the goals came in the end. The 3-0 scoreline is probably a little harsh on Alaves, who were right in the game right until the final moments, but Solari's side head into the Copa del Rey semi final against Barcelona next week in good form. Vinicius was great.
FULL TIME: Real Madrid 3-0 Alaves
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 3 (91 mins - Mariano Diaz) Alaves 0. Incredible way for Real Madrid to wrap up the points! Odriozola got to the byline and played the cross for Mariano. The former Lyon striker throws himself at it and emphatically powers a diving header into the back of the net via the inside of the post.
Goal
M. Díaz
Just two minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the match.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... NO! Odriozola believes that he has added a third for Real Madrid, slotted through by Casemiro, but the flag was up for offside. Correct call.
What an ovation that was from the home supporters inside the Santiago Bernabeu for Vinicius. The Brazilian has been the best player on the pitch this evening. He's in great form.
Here's the change and it's Vinicius who comes off and he is replaced by Isco.

Vinícius Júnior
It looks like Isco might be about to come on for Real Madrid. Of course, much has been made about how the playmaker has been frozen out of the team by Solari in recent months.
Odriozola was through! That could, and perhaps should, have three for Real Madrid. Vinicius played through Odriozola, but the Real Madrid full back couldn't poke the shot past Pacheco.
Alaves have made more of a contest of this than many predicted, but Real Madrid can probably relax now in the knowledge that the three points have been wrapped up. Game over.
And the second change from the away side sees Blanco come on for Manu.

These changes had been readied for a while, but Guidetti comes on with Alaves now 2-0 down.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 2 (80 mins - Vinicius Junior) Alaves 0. There's the goal that should wrap things up for Real Madrid! Asensio played the low cross in from the right, the defender misses it, the ball falls for Vinicius, and the Brazilian makes no mistake in sliding the finish past Pacheco! That's his first La Liga goal.
Goal
Vinícius Júnior
This game still isn't done and there is a certain tension in the Santiago Bernabeu. The home supporters are largely sitting with their arms folded. There's not a lot to get excited about.
Mariano has at least given Real Madrid some renewed energy since coming off the bench. Having missed so much of the season, the striker is desperate to make an impression.
Whoops! Swing and a miss from Mariano! That was his first involvement after coming off the bench, but the striker completely misses the ball and falls over as he goes for a shot.
There's the change and Mariano comes on to replace Benzema for the final 15 minutes.
