On Saturday evening, in the matches of the 28th round of the Spanish "Liga BBVA" championship, Madrid's "Real" football players celebrated another victory. In a calm match, Jose Mourinho's team, in front of their own fans, beat Alacant's "Hercules" team 2-0, reducing the gap from the leading "Barcelona" team in the championship to four points, at least for one day. Both goals for the 'royal' club were scored by the excellent French national team forward Karim Benzema, demonstrating great athletic form. In another match, Marius Stankevicius' "Valencia" suffered an unexpected 4-0 defeat in Zaragoza. For the Lithuanian, the match did not go well - in the second half, due to a defender's mistake in the penalty area, the referee awarded a penalty kick to the 'white-blue' goal, and Marius himself received a second yellow card and was sent off the field. "Almeria" and Madrid's "Atletico" drew 2-2. Results: "Almeria" 2 - 2 Madrid's "Atletico" 39' [0 - 1] S. Agüero 49' [1 - 1] A. Crusat 61' [1 - 2] S. Aguero 77' [2 - 2] H.
