Endrick's Extra-Time Goals Lead Real Madrid to Victory over Celta Vigo in Copa Del Rey

Vinicius scored early in the second half to give Madrid the edge, but a late goal from Jonathan Bamba sparked hope for Celta in the final moments of the game.

Marcos Alonso stroked home from the penalty spot after Bamba was fouled in stoppage time to force extra-time.

Teenager Endrick put Madrid ahead again, Fede Valverde powered home their fourth and Endrick struck once more with a clever backheel to wrap up the win, which was entertaining but did little to ease concerns over their defensive frailties.

"This is Madrid, you fight until the end to win," said Endrick.

"We never go down, we're always fighting... it was a tough game, but we got the goals and we won.

"We knew that in extra-time we had to run more, do more, get upfield, and we scored three very good goals."

One of the few positives Madrid took from the Super Cup defeat was Mbappe's goal and performance in Jeddah.

The former Paris Saint-Germain star looked back to his best and again impressed for Madrid after a shaky start to life in the Spanish capital.

Mbappe took the opening goal brilliantly, although it was mired in controversy after Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin appeared to bring down Williot Swedberg in the area.

The referee gave nothing and Madrid countered, with Mbappe zipping past a defender and finishing with aplomb.

Celta hoped VAR would instruct the referee to view the penalty claim again but no such instruction followed and Mbappe's goal stood.

Vinicius added Madrid's second goal early in the second half with a cool finish after Mbappe and then Brahim Diaz combined to set him up.

Celta opened up in search of a way back in and Madrid created several more clear chances.

Mbappe headed over from close range from Diaz's cross as Los Blancos found their flow, without being able to add to their lead.

Carl Starfelt cleared off the line for Celta after Vinicius lobbbed goalkeeper Ivan Villar in search of the third.

At the other end Lunin tipped over a long range effort from Hugo Sotelo to keep the Galicians at bay.

Madrid substitute Arda Guler stroked home for the hosts but the goal was disallowed for offside against Vinicius in the build up.

Celta pulled one back in the 83rd minute after Eduardo Camavinga foolishly gave the ball away on the edge of his area and Bamba struck to create a tense finale.

The visitors got their reward when Raul Asencio clumsily bundled down Bamba in the area and Alonso dispatched the penalty into the bottom right corner to take the game to extra-time.

Madrid's 18-year-old Brazilian striker Endrick, hungry for opportunities, blasted home from the edge of the box to put his side ahead after 108 minutes.

Valverde slammed an unstoppable effort from 25 yards out past the helpless dive of Villar to extend Madrid's advantage.

Endrick wrapped up the Spanish and European champions' triumph with an improvised backheel finish from close range.

"These goals are for Antonio (Rudiger), he knows what he does every day with me," added Endrick, thanking his team-mate for motivating him in training.

"These goals are very important for me, I liked this game, this stadium, these fans, and now we have to train, there's more ahead."

Earlier Osasuna knocked out cup holders Athletic Bilbao with an entertaining 3-2 win at the San Mames, while Real Sociedad ousted Rayo Vallecano with a 3-1 victory.
