Casemiro opened the scoring for Real Madrid in Tuesday's UEFA Super Cup clash against Manchester United, getting on the end of a Dani Carvajal cross and finishing with poise ... and a bit of controversy.

The Brazilian might have been a touch offside as he rode the United backline, but still managed to slip past his markers and fool the flag-bearer before placing the ball coolly past David De Gea at the far post.

The flag stayed down and Casemiro celebrated his opening effort all the same.
