Real Madrid booked their place in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey with an emphatic 5-0 win over fourth-tier Club Deportiva Minera on Monday, with striker Arda Güler scoring a superb double.

Madrid took an early lead when Federico Valverde volleyed home in impressive style within five minutes. Eduardo Camavinga doubled the lead just eight minutes later with a bullet header, while Guler added a third goal before the half-hour mark.

Luka Modric's superb finish into the far right corner after a clever combination with Brahim Díaz brought the crowd to their feet 10 minutes after the break, and Guler sealed the win with his second goal of the night two minutes from time.

Cartagena's Deportiva Minera are currently top of Group 13 of the Segunda Federacion. Madrid lead LaLiga on 43 points, two clear of Atletico Madrid.
