Download Video: Roma 0 vs 2 Real Madrid (Champions League) Highlights & Goals
Gareth Bale and Lucas Vazquez earned Real Madrid a 2-0 win away to Roma that guarantees the Champions League holders first place in Group G.
Real Madrid claimed top spot in Group G with a 2-0 win at Roma secured thanks to second-half goals from Gareth Bale and Lucas Vazquez.
Fazio’s backpass was sliced high by Robin Olsen, with the defender’s attempted header back to the goalkeeper seized upon by the Wales star, who drilled into the bottom-left corner.
Bale should have added a second moments later after racing through but he fired straight at Olsen, but Vazquez’s first goal since March wrapped up the points for Madrid.
A fine team move from Santiago Solari’s side ended with Karim Benzema nodding the ball into the path of Vazquez for a simple finish, with Olsen making a string of saves to keep the scoreline respectable.
Both teams had already qualified thanks to a draw between CSKA Moscow and Viktoria Plzen earlier in the day, but top spot – and potentially an easier draw in the first knockout round – was up for grabs.
