Real Madrid’s teenage Brazilian duo Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes sent it top of La Liga as both scored in a 2-0 win over Osasuna on Wednesday.
Vinicius ended a goal drought which had dragged on since February with a deflected effort in the first half from the edge of the box.
Striker Luka Jovic spurned two good opportunities and had a goal ruled out for offside as Real dominated, with debutant substitute Rodrygo curling home to seal the win shortly after coming on.
Real Madrid climbed to the top of the standings with 14 points from six games, one point and one place ahead of Atletico Madrid, which it faces on Saturday in the derby.
Diego Costa scored his first goal since March and Alvaro Morata was sent off as Atletico Madrid won 2-0 at Mallorca.
Costa powered home a header from Koke’s cross after 26 minutes to give a dominant Atletico the advantage at the Iberostar Stadium.
Joao Felix doubled Atletico’s lead after the break when after a scramble in the box his deflected effort looped in at the far post.

Inter Milan continued its perfect start to the Serie A season and returned to the top of the table with a 1-0 win over Lazio at the San Siro.
Danilo D’Ambrosios first-half header was enough to secure the three points as Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic made a string of outstanding saves to keep it in front.
