ISCO MENCETAK dua gol saat jawara Champions, Real Madrid mengalahkan Espanyol 2-0 untuk merebut kemenangan kandang pertama mereka musim ini di La Liga, Minggu.
Pesepakbola Spanyol itu menceploskan bola ke gawang lawan di babak pertama dan kedua setelah klub asuhan Zinedine Zidane tertinggal tujuh poin di belakang pemimpin klasemen sementara Barcelona.
Madrid mendominasi pertandingan namun Espanyol kerap datang mengancam dan hampir mencetak gol oleh Gerard Moreno.
Mereka juga berupaya mengejar ketertinggalan setelah turun minum tapi gol Isco yang kedua setelah 71 menit laga berlangsung mengakhiri harapan mereka.
Penampilan Isco sangat mengesankan dan memanfaatkan peluang pertama setelah pertandingan dimulai dan mencetak gol cepat padahal laga baru berlangsung 22 detik.
Espanyol bahkan belum menyentuh bola saat Sergio Ramos berhasil memberi umpan jauh dan Isco memburunya ke dalam kotak penalti untuk menceploskan ke gawang, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
ISCO STRUCK twice as champions Real Madrid beat Espanyol 2-0 to claim their first home win of the season in La Liga on Sunday.
The Spaniard found the net in each half as Zinedine Zidane's men stayed within seven points of early leaders Barcelona.
Real dominated the game but Espanyol occasionally threatened and almost got back into the game when Gerard Moreno hit a post late in the first half.
They also rallied after the break but Isco's second after 71 minutes ended their hopes.
Isco was highly impressive throughout and had his first opportunity of the game came with just 22 seconds on the clock.
Espanyol had not even touched the ball when Sergio Ramos clipped a long pass forward and Isco chased it into the box.
He tried to nudge it past Pau Lopez but the keeper reacted quickly to grab the ball. That set the tone for most of the first half as the hosts made all the running.
Luka Modric fired a long-range effort wide and Ramos had a firm header tipped over by Lopez.
