Alcoyano 1-3 Real Madrid: Los Blancos Player Ratings as Madrid survive Alcoyano scare | Copa Del Rey 2021-22

Real Madrid beat Alcoyano 3-1 to advance to the next round of the 2021-22 Copa Del Rey.

Eder Militao opened the scoring for the visitors in the 39th minute, heading past Jose Figueras to break the deadlock. Alcoyano stunned their illustrious hosts when Dani Vega scored a fabulous equaliser midway through the second half.

However, their joy proved short-lived, as Marco Asensio restored Real Madrid's lead 13 minutes from time. His shot took a heavy deflection before ending in the back of the net. Moments later, substitute Isco put the result beyond doubt, scoring Real Madrid's third of the night.

On that note, here's take a look at the Real Madrid player ratings for the game:
