David Barral broke the deadlock seven minutes from the hour mark, but the hosts replied fiercely to claim all three points.

Argentine forward Gonzalo Higuain ensured the victory eight minutes past the hour mark. Real are now on top of the league table with 68 points. Defending champions Barcelona will keep pace with Los Blancos should they defeat Real Zaragoza on Sunday. The Match's goals
