In the Spanish "La Liga" championship, four matches of the 13th round were played on Saturday. Madrid's "Real" team had a great deal of difficulty at home against the "Malaga" team. Zinedine Zidane's players managed to defeat the Andalusians only after a tough battle with a score of 3-2. Karim Benzema put the capital team ahead in the 9th minute, but the opponents equalized the score already in the 18th minute. Shortly after, "Real" regained the lead - Casemiro scored with a header two minutes later. However, in the second half, "Real" was penalized again - Chory Castro's strong shot made Kiko Casilla make a mistake. "Real" did not intend to settle for a draw and attacked the opponents much more aggressively. In the 76th minute, a penalty kick was awarded to "Malaga," which "Real" received for the first time this season in Spain. Cristiano Ronaldo failed to score from the penalty spot, but the ball bounced conveniently to the Portuguese player and he scored the winning goal. After the victory, "Real" reduced the gap from "Barcelona" to seven points, and from "Valencia" - to three. In other matches, "Eibar" won away against "Alaves," and Seville's "Real Betis" extended their unbeaten streak against "Girona." In the last matches of the evening, Madrid's "Atletico" finally felt the taste of goals, defeating Valencia's "Levante" away. In the last five games, where "Rojiblancos" did not score more than one goal in Spain, the footballers finally showed real hunger for goals - they crushed the opponents with a score of 5-0. The two Frenchmen, Kevin Gameiro and Antoine Griezmann, led the winners to victory by scoring twice each, while the opponents added another goal themselves.
