The Portugal star lashed out late on yet the Wales winger won a punishment and scored it himself to grab every one of the three focuses

Gareth Bale was the legend for Real Madrid as his punishment grabbed a 2-1 win over Cordoba on Saturday after Cristiano Ronaldo had been sent off.

Ronaldo was given a straight red card for kicking out at a Cordoba protector with the score stopped at 1-1 eight minutes from time at the Estadio Nuevo Arcangel on Saturday.

On the other hand, Bale saved his colleague's reddens when he changed over from the punishment spot in the 89th moment after his own particular free kick had been took care of - with Cordoba's Federico Cartabia accepting a second booking for that offense.

Genuine subsequently move four focuses clear of Barcelona in front of the Catalans' excursion to Elche later on Saturday, yet Carlo Ancelotti will be concerned by his side's execution and the actuality Ronaldo - who cut a disappointed figure all through the conflict - could now confront a three-amusement boycott for rough direct.

Genuine persevered through an unpleasant begin as Nabil Ghilas unhesitatingly changed over from the punishment spot after Sergio Ramos took care of Bebe's shot only three minutes in.

Cordoba's certainty kept on growwing after they had led the pack, with Bebe, Ghilas and Cartabia looking especially undermining on the counter.

Manchester United failure Bebe practically put the hosts two objectives to the positive qualities in the eighteenth moment, terminating simply wide of the post taking after a driving run into the punishment range.

Notwithstanding showing up to some degree shaken by Cordoba's strong methodology, Real inevitably restored equality through Benzema just before the half-hour mark.

The France striker wounded home from short proximity after James Rodriguez's corner was flicked on by Bale.

Genuine attempted to expand upon their equalizer, nonetheless, with their ritzy cutting edge having little fortunes cutting out obvious chances against a decently composed Cordoba guard.

Ancelotti neglected to move a change with his half-time words, as Cordoba stayed pretty much as undermining going ahead.

Indeed, the hosts showed up the more made out of the two sides in assault and went close twice in speedy progression in the 56th moment.

Cartabia initially crushed a furious exertion simply wide of the upper left corner from 25 yards, before Bebe let go directly at Iker Casillas after a solid solo run.

Their most obvious opportunity came after 12 minutes, however.

Florin Andone jumped on Raphael Varane's powerless header and circled an exertion over the approaching Casillas, yet the ball skiped up and hit the bar.

Cordoba seemed set to procure a merited moment that Ronaldo was rejected soon after - the Ballon d'or victor responding furiously to close consideration from his markers amid a free kick - however Bale was available to scratch each of the three focuses with his late, late punishment.
