After the break, the hosts played with more confidence. Ten minutes into the second half, Vinicius opened the scoring with a right-footed strike.
The second goal was even more spectacular. Bellingham backheeled the ball to Vinicius, and the Brazilian forward placed it into the top corner.
Real Madrid had several more favorable opportunities. The goalkeeper saved shots from substitute Gonzalo Garcia and Bellingham.
If the team fails to win the El Clasico scheduled for next Sunday, they may lose the title race.
