The capital side had little trouble against their island visitors at the Santiago Bernabeu that saw former Mallorca man Asensio find the net three times on the night.

Madrid raced to an early lead when Benzema capitalised on a Mallorca defensive error to rocket his team's first past keeper Manolo Reina in the third minute.

Asensio then scored in the 24th minute to double Madrid's lead, but Kang-In Lee pulled one back a moment later off United States youngster Matthew Hoppe's assist.

But it was all Madrid from there on out as Asensio scored again in the 29th minute and in the 55th minute.

Isco capped off the scoring barrage with a goal in the 84th minute.
