Real Madrid ascended to the top of the Spanish league on Sunday thanks to a 3-0 victory over Cadiz, thanks in large part to two goals scored by Rodrygo and an assist from Jude Bellingham, who was brought on as a substitute at the last minute.

With goals in the 14th and 64th minutes, as well as an assist for Bellingham’s goal in the 74th minute, Rodrygo sped by Cadiz defenders and scored the top corner.

Girona, who will visit Athletic Bilbao on Monday, fell behind Madrid by one point. Atletico Madrid, who were in third position, defeated Mallorca 1-0 at home on Saturday thanks to an Antoine Griezmann goal. Madrid was four points ahead of them. The game is in Atletico’s hands.

Bellingham scored his fourteenth goal for Madrid in all competitions with this strike. After recovering from a shoulder injury, the England international is now the league leader in Spain with eleven goals.

After Brahim Díaz became sick with stomach difficulties, Rodrygo was substituted into the starting lineup in the final minute, even though he was supposed to start the match on the bench.

The game was decided by Rodrygo, according to Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.

After last week’s revelation that he had been the victim of racist online abuse after Brazil’s 1-0 loss to Argentina in South American World Cup qualifying, Rodrygo made his return to action with this match.

In his past three games for Madrid, the Brazilian striker has netted five goals. During Sunday’s goals—one from inside the area and one on a breakaway—he composedly handled with defenders.
