On Wednesday evening, nine matches of the 17th round of the Spanish "Primera" league were played.
At the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, Madrid's "Real" and San Sebastian's "Real Sociedad" footballers clashed. Rafael Benitez had to sweat, but the "Whites" celebrated victory with a 3-1 result.
In the 24th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo could have put "Real" ahead, but failed to convert a penalty from 11 meters, which he rarely misses. Nevertheless, at the end of the first half, a Basque defender played with his hand in the penalty area and immediately C. Ronaldo didn't miss.
The second half started very successfully for "Real Sociedad" - in the 49th minute, Bruma equalized the score. After this episode, the hosts were a bit shaken, but C. Ronaldo managed to put "Real" ahead again with a great shot, and Lucas Vazquez sealed the match at the end.
In other matches, at the end of a fierce battle, Madrid's "Rayo Vallecano" defeated Madrid's "Atletico". The scorers for the winners were Andre Correa and Antoine Griezmann.
"Barcelona" returned to the first place after recently winning the FIFA Club World Cup. Luis Enrique's team defeated their opponents from Seville with a 4-0 result.
The scorers for the winners were Lionel Messi, Heiko Westermann (own goal), and Luis Suarez who scored twice. It is worth mentioning that L. Messi played his 500th match in the "Primera" league.
The remaining games ended with victories for "Malaga", "Sevilla", "Eibar", and Bilbao "Athletic", while the "Getafe" - "Deportivo" match ended in a draw.
