On Sunday, in the matches of the 11th round of the Spanish "La Liga" championship, the players of Madrid's "Real" achieved a hard-fought victory away.
Due to two match suspensions, the "royal" club's coach Jose Mourinho watched the match from the stands and witnessed a tough and nervous duel, after which his players triumphed with a minimal result of 1-0.
The only goal of the game was scored by Argentine Gonzalo Higuain in the 82nd minute, being the first to reach the ball rebounding off the goalkeeper.
By earning three points, the capital team returned to the top spot of the tournament table, which they had temporarily relinquished to the "Barcelona" club for a day.
In another match, "Valencia" defeated Madrid's "Getafe" team with a dry result of 2-0 in front of their own fans. Lithuanian Marius Stankevičius was not registered for the match.
