The Brazilian starred again for Real's 'B' team, helping them to a comfortable 3-0 victory along with Cristo's brace.
The 18-year-old didn't disappoint in just his second appearance for the team on home turf, finally getting on the scoresheet 41 minutes into the game.
The hosts won a free-kick 22 yards out and the Samba star took reponsibility, curling low into the far corner of Carlos Molina's goal, with the Unionistas stopper having been expecting the effort to come over the wall.
After that strike the game was as good as won, with the visitors never looking like overturning their three-goal deficit after the interval.
Aside from the goal, Vinicius was a threat throughout for Castilla, causing occasional havoc with his pace, close control and willingness to run at defenders.
He really ought to have doubled his tally for the day in the second period as he danged past three defenders before sitting the goalkeeper down, but his effort clattered back off the crossbar with the goal gaping.
His performance will only heighten the calls for him to be included in the first-team reckoning, with it clear that he is a standout player at Sgunda B level.
