La Liga: Real Madrid held off Rayo Vallecano's revival to win 2-1 on Saturday and return to the top of the table, two points clear of Real Sociedad, who face Osasuna on Sunday.
Real Madrid held off Rayo Vallecano's revival to win 2-1 on Saturday and return to the top of the La Liga table, two points clear of Real Sociedad, who face Osasuna on Sunday. Radamel Falcao gave Rayo hope late on.
"We had a lot of chances to finish the game and when they scored, we suffered," said Carlo Ancelotti. "But I'm happy. Until their goal it was our best performance of the season."
Madrid were comfortable too when Kroos and Benzema put them two ahead of Rayo Vallecano at half-time. Kroos stroked home Marco Asensio's pass before Benzema touched in an inch-perfect cross from David Alaba.
But Madrid grew slack and Rayo capitalised, Bebe hitting the post before Falcao, off the bench, headed in his fifth goal in eight appearances for the club he joined on a free transfer in the summer.
