As Real Madrid win first Copa del Rey since 2014, Vinicius Jr. earns spotlight with brilliance and controversy

A brace from Rodrygo Goes lifted Real Madrid to a 2-1 win over Osasuna in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday, securing Real Madrid's third trophy of the season.

Rodrygo put Madrid ahead in the second minute after Vinicius Junior had opened up the Osasuna defence. Karim Benzema -- again set up by Vinicius -- was denied by goalkeeper Sergio Herrera, and at the other end Dani Carvajal cleared an Abde effort off the line, while David Alaba hit the crossbar before halftime.

Osasuna levelled early in the second half, midfielder Lucas Torro shooting low into the bottom corner, but 12 minutes later Rodryo restored Madrid's lead -- after another Vinicius dribble -- to secure the win.
