In the Spanish "Primera" league, four matches of the 13th round were played on Saturday. The tournament leader, Madrid's "Real" team, clashed with "Malaga" on the road. After a tough battle, the "whites" defeated the Andalusian team with a score of 2-1. The match started successfully for the King's Cup winners, who took the lead in the 18th minute. Karim Benzema scored after a splendid pass from Cristiano Ronaldo. "Malaga" looked great in front of their fans and did not lose confidence after conceding a goal. Iker Casillas had to save the guests from an equalizer on several occasions. However, in the 83rd minute, Gareth Bale stopped Malaga's attacking play and defeated Idrissa Kameni with a great shot. In the 86th minute, "Real" defender Isco was sent off for a questionable yellow card, and the hosts took advantage of this to reduce the deficit during added time, but the match ultimately ended in favor of the visitors. For "Real" coach Carlo Ancelotti, this victory was exceptional as he became the first "white" strategist to achieve 16 consecutive wins. In other matches, Bilbao's "Athletic" and Barcelona's "Espanyol" also won with a score of 2-1.
