Both teams started on the front foot with Madrid controlled the exchanges better and got their reward after Ronaldo's less-powerful free-kick deflected off Varane to wrong-foot the impressive Jan Oblak. Before then he had saved a goal-bound efforts from all of Isco, Modric and Ronaldo.

Aftre the interval, the Rojiblancos came out stronger with Carrasco curler almost saving the point after Vazquez gave the ball away. And Griezmann was thwarted by Navas twice before Ronaldo who has also been profligate in front of goal made them rue their missed chances.
Cristiano converted a 70th-minute low-drive penalty to the left after he was felled by Savic sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. He then completed his hat-trick on a night that would have been his seventh Madrid derby without a goal. A sensational run from Bale on the counter meant his cross was finished off by Ronaldo into the empty net to make it three losses in four matches for Simeone's men and 21 matches unbeaten for Real.
It also means Los Blancos won their 1st away La Liga Madrid derby since 2013.
