Real Madrid eased to a 2-1 win over Roma in the International Champions Cup on Tuesday, as Los Blancos continued their encouraging progress under Julen Lopetegui.
With just two minutes gone, Gareth Bale’s brilliant pass with the outside of his boot released Asensio in behind Ivan Marcano, and the attacker was left with a simple finish to beat Robin Olsen and make it 1-0.
Bale took matters into his own hands in the 15th minute, receiving a lofted pass out of defence from Dani Carvajal, cutting inside Marcano with ease and slotting past the helpless Olsen to double Madrid’s lead.
Roma responded by dropping deeper but failed to mount a consistent threat of their own, Edin Dzeko forcing a save from Keylor Navas with a long-range shot in what was one of Roma’s few first-half opportunities.
