Enzo Zidane Scores First Goal With Real Madrid in 6-1 Win Over Cultural Leonesa

Enzo Zidane has already managed to do something his famous father and current manager, former Real Madrid star Zinedine Zidane, never did with the Spanish club: he scored on his debut.

Enzo Zidane Scores First Goal With Real Madrid in 6-1 Win Over Cultural Leonesa

Zidane jr. came on for Real Madrid in the second half of the team’s 6-1 home victory over Cultural Leonesa on Wednesday, the second leg of Copa del Rey Round of 32 game.

The 21-year-old midfielder scored Real’s fourth goal in the 63rd minute on his first shot with the club, a low, 20-yard strike.

With the win, Madrid have now defeated their third-tier opponents 13-2 on aggregate to reach the competition’s last 16.

Norwegian teenager Martin Odegaard, who signed as a 16-year-old in January 2015, also made his full debut.

Former France midfielder Zidane senior, 44, played 227 matches for Real after joining from Juventus for a then-world record £45.8m ($57.6 million) in July 2001, famously scoring their winner in the 2002 Champions League final.

Zidane junior, nevertheless, said his goal just 18 minutes into his first match with the club is just the beginning for him.

He told the official Real website: “To score on your Real Madrid debut is always a dream, and I’m really happy it’s come at the Bernabeu and with a win. It’s been a very special night. I’ve had to wait for my chance and now it’s here. This is the beginning, and I have to keep working to get more chances and help the team.”

Enzo played in two preseason friendlies and has made 15 appearances for the reserves this season.

The youngster also added that he is constantly learning “just from watching the best players in the world,” and that Real Madrid’s players treat him and all the other young players well.

Mariano Diaz stole the spotlight on Wednesday with a hat trick on his fourth senior appearance for Real.

Cesar Morgado scored Real’s sixth goal in second-half stoppage time. James Rodriguez also scored for Madrid in the first half.

Real Madrid will next visit Barcelona on Saturday in a La Liga matchup.
