Real Madrid can credit their victory to the exceptional performance of Cristiano Ronaldo, the “Commander,” who netted two crucial goals in a challenging match against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday, securing a 3-2 win in the small Madrid derby. This remarkable feat came just three days after Ronaldo’s impressive hat-trick against Sevilla FC.
The game started positively for Carlo Ancelotti’s men, with Ronaldo scoring a solo goal and Benzema adding a header to give Real Madrid a comfortable lead at halftime. However, the situation took a turn for the worse after the break when Vallecano was awarded two penalties in quick succession, both expertly converted by Viera. Prior to this, Ronaldo had already capitalized on an assist from Gareth Bale, extending the lead to 3-0.
Despite facing a challenging situation towards the end of the match, Real Madrid managed to withstand the pressure and held on until the final whistle, securing a hard-fought victory. Cristiano Ronaldo’s contributions once again proved crucial in guiding his team through a potentially tricky encounter.
