Real Madrid returned to winning ways, which had eluded them in the previous round of the Spanish football league, by achieving an exciting victory last night in a match brought forward from the twenty-first round of the competition. The win raised Real Madrid's points tally to 46 at the top of the table from 19 matches, leading by 8 points ahead of their closest rival, Sevilla, who has played 18 matches. Meanwhile, Bilbao's points remained at 24 in tenth place.
All three goals of the match came within the first ten minutes, with Real Madrid taking the lead through two goals from their French star Karim Benzema in the second and fourth minutes, while Oihan Sancet scored Bilbao's only goal in the tenth minute.
