On Saturday, five matches of the 27th round of the Spanish "La Liga" championship were played.
The country's champions, Madrid's "Real" footballers, welcomed their neighbors - the footballers of "Getafe" at home. Zinedine Zidane's players confidently dealt with their opponents - winning with a score of 3-1.
In the 24th minute, Gareth Bale scored the first goal for the hosts, and Cristiano Ronaldo increased the advantage at the end of the first half.
In the second half, "Getafe" continued to play with ten players, but in the 65th minute they managed to reduce the deficit - F. Portillo scored from the penalty spot, although the penalty was highly debatable.
However, "Real" did not falter at all, and in the 78th minute, C. Ronaldo restored the two-goal advantage with a great header. Immediately after the goal, the Portuguese was substituted to regain strength for the match against PSG.
"Real" remains in third place with 54 points, trailing their closest opponents by 7 points.
"Sevilla" hosted Bilbao "Athletic" at home. Two goals within five minutes in the first half decided the victory for the Andalusians with a score of 2-0.
Luis Muriel and Franco Vazquez led the hosts to victory. "Sevilla" occupies the fifth position, trailing "Valencia" by 5 points.
In another match, "Villarreal" suffered a home defeat against the visiting "Girona" team.
The remaining matches ended with "Leganes" defeating "Malaga" and "Deportivo" drawing with "Eibar."
