# Cristiano Ronaldo's brace keeps Real Madrid top of La Liga
|
|
|
|
## Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in the last eight minutes for Real Madrid
|
|
to rally for a 3-1 win over Hercules to stay top of the Spanish league while
|
|
Barcelona romped to another home victory against Sevilla to keep pace.

|
|
|
|
Hercules went ahead after three minutes through a David Trezeguet header
|
|
before Angel Di Maria volleyed past goalkeeper Juan Calatayud for a 53rd-
|
|
minute equalizer.
|
|
|
|
Ronaldo latched onto a Karim Benzema rebound to put Madrid ahead at Jose Rico
|
|
Perez Stadium before adding his league-leading 12th goal of the season four
|
|
minutes later after converting substitute Benzema's 86th-minute pass. The
|
|
Portugal forward nearly had a hat trick, but shot high in the closing stages.
|
|
|
|
"Psychologically it is good for us to come from behind, but the most important
|
|
thing is to get the three points and stay first," Madrid coach Jose Mourinho
|
|
said.
|
|
|
|
Madrid leads with 23 points from nine games, while Barcelona trails by only
|
|
one point after Lionel Messi and David Villa scored twice each in a 5-0 win
|
|
against Sevilla. Barcelona scored consecutive 4-0 wins over the Andalucian
|
|
team in its last two visits to the Camp Nou.
|
|
|
|
"We would like the league to be more competitive, but it seems to be getting
|
|
away with only Villarreal keeping up (with Madrid and Barcelona)," midfielder
|
|
Sergio Busquets said.

The Spanish champion's win was never in doubt, and Messi confirmed Sevilla as
|
|
his favorite team to play against with his first goal in the fourth minute,
|
|
blasting a rebound that bounced off defender Antonio Luna and across the line.
|
|
|
|
Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano missed on a crossing shot in the 10th before
|
|
Barcelona poured it on as Villa snapped his more than monthlong scoring
|
|
drought by perfectly curling a left-foot shot inside the far post in the 24th.
|
|
|
|
Pedro Rodriguez caused problems for the Sevilla defense throughout and the
|
|
visitors were left to play with 10 men when Abdoulay Konko was sent off for
|
|
barging into Pedro as the first half expired.
|
|
|
|
Dani Alves added the third in the 52nd when midfielder Ndri Romaric headed the
|
|
ball back to goalkeeper Javi Varas and the Barcelona right back darted in and
|
|
tipped it over Varas into goal.
|
|
|
|
Messi scored his seventh goal of the season_ second to only Ronaldo _ and 10th
|
|
career goal against Sevilla after he robbed the ball from Diego Capel near
|
|
midfield, dribbled to the edge of the area and slotted the ball right by the
|
|
post.
|
|
|
|
Villa took his season tally to four after gliding across the front of the area
|
|
before beating Varas with a left-footed shot to close the match.
|
|
|
|
"This was one of our best games, against a difficult team like Sevilla (too),"
|
|
Busquets added.
|
|
|
|
Hercules came out more aggressively and Calatayud made clutch stops as Madrid
|
|
pressed for an answer to Trezeguet's opener.
|
|
|
|
The French striker tallied his fifth goal of the season off a long cross from
|
|
David Cortes to put Madrid behind for the first time this season.
|
|
|
|
While Hercules was the better side in the first half, Madrid took control
|
|
after the break.
|
|
|
|
"I prefer winning from the beginning instead of a comeback, but the adversary
|
|
was well organized and aggressive," said Mourinho. "In the second half we
|
|
almost played by ourselves."
|
|
|
|
The absence of Royston Drenthe _ who helped Hercules to a pair of wins over
|
|
Barcelona and Sevilla _ was noted, however, as the Alicante team lost some of
|
|
its spark. The Dutch winger could not play because he is on loan from Madrid.
|
|
|
|
Calatayud could do nothing as the Argentina winger picked the top corner of
|
|
goal to equalize before Marcelo found Benzema for a chance that Calatayud
|
|
saved but Ronaldo was perfectly positioned to bury the rebound into goal.
|
|
|
|
Ronaldo scored for the fourth straight game after sending Benzema's centering
|
|
pass into the roof of the net.
|
|
|
|
"The team is playing phenomenally right now," Ronaldo said.
|
|
|
|
Earlier, Valencia was held to 1-1 at home against 10-man Zaragoza to slip
|
|
further back of the leaders with 17 points.
|
|
|
|
At Mestalla Stadium, Maurizio Lanzaro struck for Zaragoza three minutes in
|
|
when the defender fired a spinning shot off a corner that the Valencia defense
|
|
failed to clear.
|
|
|
|
Valencia went close through Ricardo Costa and Aritz Aduriz before Lanzaro
|
|
scored again into his own goal in the 43rd as his attempt to head out a cross
|
|
ended up in the back of the net.
|
|
|
|
Valencia _ which is winless in three games _ couldn't score a winner despite
|
|
Ander Herrera's sending off in the 68th.
|
|
|
|
Zaragoza provisionally moved out of last, although it remained winless after
|
|
nine games.
|
|
|
|
On Sunday, it's: Sporting Gijon vs. Villarreal; Racing Santander vs. Osasuna;
|
|
Malaga vs. Real Sociedad; Deportivo La Coruna vs. Espanyol; Atletico Madrid
|
|
vs. Almeria; and Athletic Bilbao vs. Getafe.
|
|
|
|
Mallorca plays Levante on Monday to close the ninth round.
