Match Events
21' CHANCE! Modric's shot saved
SAVE! First opportunity of the match for Real Madrid as Modric's shot takes a huge deflection off Benzema and it requires a smart save from Olsen.
34' SAVE! Fine stop from Courtois
SAVE! A massive moment for Roma as they force their way through the Real Madrid defence. Schick pounces on a loose ball inside the box to drill an effort at goal that Courtois is forced to save with his leg, before Kolarov then drills a fierce effort from distance wide of the post.
45' WHAT A CHANCE missed by Under!
WHAT A MISS! Shick steals the ball off Carvajal and drags an inviting cross into the middle where Under is lurking. With the goal at his mercy and the ball on a plate, he somehow blazes the effort over the top of the crossbar.
47' GOAL! Roma 0-1 Real Madrid (Bale)
GOOOOOAL! 1-0 Real Madrid! A defensive nightmare for Roma! Fazio heads the ball straight into the path of Bale and he drags it onto his left foot before slotting beneath Olsen.
49' GREAT CHANCE! Bale's shot saved
SAVE! Another huge opportunity for Bale as he surges through into space but tries to lift the ball over Olsen but does not connect properly and it is a comfortable save for the Roma stopper.
59' GOAL! Roma 0-2 Real Madrid (Vazquez)
GOOOOAL! 2-0! Bale superbly curls a cross to the head of Benzema, who knocks the ball to the feet of Vazquez for an easy finish that opens his account for the season.
Match Report
Gareth Bale and Lucas Vazquez earned Real Madrid a 2-0 win away to Roma that guarantees the Champions League holders first place in Group G.
Both teams had already qualified thanks to a draw between CSKA Moscow and Viktoria Plzen earlier in the day, but top spot - and potentially an easier draw in the first knockout round - was up for grabs.
Cengiz Under produced a contender for the worst miss of the season late in Tuesday's first half, the Roma forward blasting a dreadful effort over the crossbar from close range.
Bale's third Champions League goal of the season nudged Madrid in front in an engrossing contest at the Stadio Olimpico, profiting on an error from Federico Fazio, with Vazquez then tapping in the decisive second.
