Valencia 2-3 Real Madrid: Thriller Winner
english.aljazeera.net
Real Madrid edged Valencia 3-2 to stay with Spanish leaders Barcelona, who marked their last domestic game of 2009 with a 1-0 win over cross-town rivals Espanyol.
Ezequiel Garay headed Xabi Alonso's long free kick sharply into goal in the 83rd minute for Madrid's winner that came only three minutes after Joaquin Sanchez equalised for Valencia for the second time.
Gonzalo Higuain scored twice while David Villa struck his league-leading 12th goal to cancel out the Argentina striker's 54th-minute opener.
Madrid stayed within five points of Barcelona, who couldn't have asked for a better sending off for their Club World Cup date against Mexico's Atlante on Wednesday as the European champions go for their sixth major trophy since May on the heels of a sixth straight victory.
