Real controlled the ball better than Deportivo, but the balls that caused trouble in front of goalkeeper G.Lux's goal were not many, as the home team's defense played very focused.

Despite facing many difficulties against the home team's defense, in a moment of brilliance from Ronaldo, Real scored the opening goal in the 29th minute. Starting from Arbeloa's cross from the right wing, Ronaldo jumped high and headed the ball "trickily" leaving goalkeeper G.Lux helpless as the ball flew into the net. The score was 1-0 for Real.
The opening goal helped Real's billion-dollar players play much more smoothly. Therefore, in the 36th minute, "Los Blancos" scored their second goal against the home team. This time, the player who scored for Real was James Rodriguez with a "super product" from outside the penalty area. Before the first half ended, Ronaldo scored the third goal for Real Madrid. This is Ronaldo's fourth goal in La Liga this season.

In the second half, Real continued to control the game. However, when the attack line had not scored another goal, the defense "gave" Deportivo an equalizer in the 51st minute. Before that, Ramos let the ball touch his hand in the penalty area, on the 11m mark, Medunjanin easily defeated Casillas to shorten the score to 1-3.
After being reduced to a goal, coach Ancelotti made a tactical adjustment by bringing Illarramendi on to replace Benzema and Isco and Modric. This change helped Real's midfield play more solidly and the attack play much more dangerously.
In the 66th, 74th and 77th minutes, Bale and Ronaldo scored beautiful goals to help Real raise the score to 6-1. In the 84th minute, Deportivo's rise helped them score a goal to reduce the score to 2-6.
