---

In a high-octane LaLiga match at Estadi Montilivi, Real Madrid prevailed over Girona with an impressive tally of 4-1.

With only 16 minutes on the clock, Borja Garcia opened the scoring for a gritty Girona side. It was Anthony Lozano who first drove a low shot goalwards that was blocked, but the ball ricocheted off the defender and reached Garcia who drilled a wonderful finish into the top corner.

Then, a few minutes prior to the half-time, Real Madrid were awarded a much-needed penalty after Asensio was fouled by Muniesa. For that, Real's skipper Sergio Ramos stepped up and scored a beautiful panenka to make it all square for Los Blancos.

In the second half, the away side was once again given the penalty following a clumsy foul from Pons on Asensio. This time, Karim Benzema took the spot-kick and comfortably converted it to hand Real Madrid the lead.

Soon after, Gareth Bale cemented the lead for the Spanish giants. The Welshman made a beautiful run before receiving the ball from Isco, and slotted it into the bottom left corner past Yassine Bounou.

In the 80th minute of the fixture, Karim Benzema registered his brace as he placed the ball into the back of the net following a low cross from Gareth Bale.

Consequently, Real Madrid secured their second La Liga victory to walk away with all three points in hand.

Here's how Twitter reacted to the thrilling encounter.

Sergio Ramos is going to finish this season as Real Madrid’s topscorer and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Two penalties and an offside goal despite the use of VAR. Just a typical Real Madrid match.We know most officials in @LaLigaEN are either bias or corrupt, it's just some don't even try to hide it.

FT: Girona 1-4 Real MadridMuch better second half. Benzema & Bale will be promising this season. Isco needs a couple of slaps. Keylor is here to fight. Dani is back. Ramos is a boss. We move on.

Madrid would’ve drawn or lost this type of game last season, encouraging how they brought it up a gear in the 2nd half and defensively were far more organized. Really liked Asensio’s performance in the 2nd half.

— Matt Wiltse (@MattWiltse4) August 26, 2018

FT Girona 1-4 Madrid. Girona very good to start with, Madrid suoerb after that. When games open, Asensio is superb. Bale and Benzema excellent. Stay fit and Bale will fly this year, I’m convinced.

Ronaldo leaving Real Madrid was the best thing to ever happen to Sergio Ramos... watch him shine now 🤞🏾

You get the feeling we’ll have to get used to Keylor Navas save/TV cameras cut to Courtois reaction on the Real Madrid bench (or vice versa) this season...

The result might not have went their way but there were plenty of positives to take away from that Girona performance.
