Impact Valverde opened the scoring Saturday for Real Madrid, slotting home a free kick from well outside of the box to give his team a lead they would not relinquish en route to a 3 - 0 victory. Valverde also added three tackles (two won), two interceptions and two clearances to the clean sheet effort. The veteran midfielder scored just twice over 37 appearances (33 starts) during the previous campaign.
