The hosts had the better of the first half as Real began slowly, though they were indebted to Thibault Courtois’ superb double-save on the stroke of halftime to keep the game level. However, Rice broke the deadlock in the 58th minute with his first senior goal from a direct freekick, an unstoppable shot around the wall and beyond Courtois, before he followed it up with an even better strike 12 minutes later.
