The visitors were poor in their display as they could fire a single shot on target in the first half despite fielding a strong squad in the game.
Zidane's men came back for the second half with more purpose after the half-time pep talk with the manager as they saw their two goals disallowed.
Real Madrid's first attempt at goal was in the 49th minute when Marco Asensio bent a curling shot towards Sergio Herrera's goal post.
Karim Benzema did bundle home after Herrera brilliantly kept out his initial point-blank header, only for the offside flag to swiftly curtail the celebrations.
As it stands, Real are just one point behind city rivals Atletico while Barcelona thumped Granada 4-0 to close the gap on the two top teams.
