Ronaldo scores 2 as Madrid beats Celta Vigo 2-1
Sport
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to give Real Madrid a 2-1 win at Celta Vigo on Sunday, lifting Jose Mourinho's side provisionally into second place in the Spanish league.
Except for Celta's initial and last-gasp surges, Madrid had the better of the scoring chances at Balaidos Stadium despite Mourinho making several changes to his starting team following a week featuring wins over Barcelona and Manchester United.
Ronaldo was well positioned to score from a loose ball in the 61st minute. Striker Iago Aspas leveled against the run of play two minutes later, but the Portugal forward converted a spot kick earned by Kaka in the 72nd for the winner.
Levante bossed the match with Getafe and went close through strikes by Pedro Lopez and Vicente Iborra that both hit the woodwork, before Getafe goalkeeper Miguel Moya blocked David Navarro's point-blank shot in stoppage time.
On Saturday, it was: Barcelona 2, Deportivo La Coruna 0, Rayo Vallecano 2, Espanyol 0; Valladolid 1, Malaga 1; and Mallorca 2, Sevilla 1. Real Betis downed Osasuna 2-1 on Friday. Real Zaragoza hosts Granada on Monday.
