The result, coupled with Al Hilal\u2019s victory over CF Pachuca, means Salzburg have been eliminated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Madrid dominated the first half and, after sustained pressure, made the breakthrough on 40 minutes. Vinicius raced on to a wonderful pass from Jude Bellingham before chopping onto his left foot and rifling a precision drive into the bottom corner. FIFA reports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Vinicius was in the mood, and he turned provider for Madrid\u2019s second on the stroke of half-time. Facing goal but tightly marked, the reigning Best FIFA Men\u2019s Player set up Federico Valverde with an impudent backheel, and the Uruguayan duly slotted home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Salzburg, to their credit, came out strongly in the second half and substitute Adam Daghim twice came close to pulling one back. First, his powerful effort forced a fine save from Thibaut Courtois, before he cracked a shot just over the bar. Bellingham then displayed his defensive smarts by making a vital block from Edmund Baidoo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Xabi Alonso\u2019s men struggled to display their first-half fluency after the break, but put the result beyond any doubt when Gonzalo Garcia netted with a cool chipped finish six minutes from time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
