Real Madrid remain two points behind joint leaders Barcelona and Atlético Madrid after a controversial last minute 1-2 victory at Elche. The locals have yet to win since getting promoted in the summer, but they didn't allow themselves to be overawed by their opponents, Diego López having to be on his toes to keep out Lombán and Carles Gil early on, and Javi Márquez firing a couple of shots wide. Ronaldo went close himself twice though and Di María finally tested Manu Herrera shortly before the break, and six minutes after the restart Ronaldo found a gap in the defensive wall to open the scoring with a well struck free kick. Neither side produced too many chances after that though until the second minute of injury time, when Boakye got on the end of Fidel's cross to head home the equalizer. But with the home fans celebrating the point, referee Muñiz Fernández surprised everyone awarding the visitors a penalty as Carlos Sánchez and Pepe tussled in the area following a corner. The final whistle should have gone before that, but once the protests died down Ronaldo stepped up to calmly drill home the winner. The win keeps Ancelotti's side in touch with their immediate rivals, and they have a chance to go second at least when they host Atlético in their city derby on Saturday.
