The visitors spurned a golden opportunity when Torres had a feeble penalty attempt saved shortly before he turned provider.

Ronaldo marked his return to the starting line-up after being sidelined since the summer with a simple back-post tap-in after just six minutes when Gareth Bale rolled the ball to him.
