Eden Hazard scores his first Real Madrid goal as Spanish club beat Salzburg (Match Report)

Former Chelsea talisman Eden Hazard scored his first goal for Real Madrid shirt in a pre-season friendly against against Salzburg at the Red Bull Arena in Austria.

The Belgium netted the only goal in the match as Los Blancos recorded their second consecutive win in pre-season friendlies, having been emphatic in their 5-3 win over Fenerbahce last Wednesday.

Hazard put in an impressive performance up front with Karim Benzema before he made way for fellow new signing Luka Jovic around the hour mark.

Benzema released him on the break down the left, dribbled forward to draw his defender, before cutting inside and curling a shot from distance into the right corner to give Madrid the lead after 19 minutes.

Salzburg came close to equalizing soon after Hazard’s goal. But Japanese winger Minamino, unmarked and just five yards out, managed to put the ball wide of the near post when it would have been easier to score.

Madrid looked dangerous on the break throughout and put together a few stunning passages of play in a game that will be mainly remembered for the performance and debut goal of Eden Hazard.
