Zinedine Zidane gave Brahim Diaz another opportunity to show what he can do, with the January signing playing for the Frenchman for the sixth time.
It didn't take long for the Spaniard to repay his coach's faith in him, as he chased down Santi Cazorla to win the ball for his side after just 80 seconds of play.
This set up Mariano for the opening goal, as Real Madrid went on to earn a 3-2 victory.
Brahim played 74 minutes of the match and impressed throughout, with the 19-year-old unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.
