Madrid: Real Madrid whitewashed Cornella 5-0 in their Copa del Rey as Real forward Jese Rodriguez scored on his return after nearly nine months.
James Rodriguez scored two goals at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium Tuesday as the holders eased into the round of 16 with a 9-1 victory on aggregate, reported Xinhua.
The two sides played their first leg in October so that Madrid can play at the Club World Cup later this month.
Cornella's Xavi Boniquet missed a penalty in the 15th minute.
James Rodriguez opened Madrid's scoring a minute later. The Colombia forward set up Francisco 'Isco' Alarcon in the 32nd before he added a second in the 34th. Javier Hernandez made it 4-0 on the hour mark.
Substitute Jese Rodriguez scored in the 78th, 20 minutes after coming on for his first appearance after having two right knee operations following a leg injury March 18.
