Real Madrid stretched their winning-streak to seven games after beating Atletico Madrid 2-0 in Madrid on Sunday night. Raul Gonzales opened the score after only one minute and Ruud Van Nistelrooy secured the victory three minutes before the break. The Merengues clinch their 50th point of the season and are now 10 points ahead of second-placed Barcelona who are going to play against Racing Santander. Both sides had their best XI on the pitch as Atletico lined up Diego Forlan, Sergio Aguero, Simao Aguero, Maxi Rodriguez. While Schuster had his star-studded squad except injured Arjen Robben and Mahamadou Diarra who is away with Mali. Atletico's defender Pablo Ibanez struggled and lost the ball to Robinho who sent it to Raul to break the deadlock after just one minute. Pepe was injured and had to leave the game for Michel Salgado who failed to reproduce his brilliant performances of three years ago. Van Nistelrooy connected with Sneijder's free kick to double his team's lead just three minutes before the break. The second half was as good as the first but both sides couldn't change the score. And just before the end of the game, Schuster became more cautious to secure the full points of the game.
