Spanish La Liga News :: Real Madrid beat Valencia 1-0 for much needed victory

Posted on 2008-12-20 by Gooner

Gonzalo Higuain's early goal earned stuttering champions Real Madrid a morale-boosting victory on Saturday night against 10-man Valencia.

Madrid had lost four of their previous five league matches and slumped 12 points adrift of leaders Barcelona in the process, but Higuain's fine left-footed strike brought some early Christmas cheer to the Bernabeu.

Juande Ramos' side also hit the woodwork twice but second-placed Valencia might consider themselves unfortunate not to have earned a draw after more than matching Madrid up until the point Carlos Marchena was sent off midway through the second half.
