KEY MOMENTS:

9' - WHAT A CHANCE! Jodlowiec pounces on a Kroos error, bursts into the area but his low shot from close range is blocked by Navas. He really should have done better from there.

12' WOODWORK! The ball is played to the edge of the area for Odjidja-Ofoe whose low shot hits the inside of the post with Navas beaten.

16' - GOAL! Madrid 1-0 Legia: Bale collects a pass on the right flank, cuts inside and fires a curling effort into the bottom corner. A brilliant strike.

20' - GOAL! Madrid 2-0 Legia: Benzema tees up Marcelo who drives the ball into the box, it takes a wicked deflection off Jodlowiec and wrongfoots the keeper and goes in. That is cruel.

22' - GOAL! Madrid 1-2 Legia: Radovic wins a penalty after a poor challenge by Varane. The strike takes the spot-kick and sends Navas the wrong way to make it 2-1. Game on!

37' -GOAL! Madrid 3-1 Legia: Danilo fires in a low cross Ronaldo who does brilliantly to tee up Asensio who drives the ball into the corner on his Champions League debut.

68' - GOAL! Madrid 4-1 Legia: The long punt downfield from Navas finds Morata who bursts down the wing and sends in a great ball for fellow substitute Vazquez to fire the ball under the keeper.

84’ - GOAL! Madrid 5-1 Legia: Kovacic with a good ball to Ronaldo who tees up Morata in the space and the Spaniard hammers the ball in.
