The lead didn't last long, as Xabi Alonso's men equalized in the 37th minute through Arda Guler, who nodded in a pass from Dean Huijsen.

Moments later, Vinícius Júnior put the home side ahead with a well-taken finish on his weaker foot.

Kylian Mbappé had a second goal ruled out for offside just before halftime, and the hosts continued to press in the second period, seeing another goal from Güler being disallowed due to a handball.

Despite some close calls at their own end, Madrid's defence held firm, to see out the win and maintain their 100% record to start the season.

Up next for Los Blancos is a trip to face Real Sociedad after the international break, before the visit of French side Marseille in their UEFA Champions League opener.
