Real Madrid remain the leaders despite 2-2 - Kroos scores

Madrid (dpa) - Also thanks to a goal by Toni Kroos, Real Madrid has maintained the top position in the Spanish football league, but unexpectedly lost two points against Celta Vigo.

The record champions only came 2: 2 (0: 1) against the relegation candidate. The capitals are now just one point ahead of defending champions FC Barcelona.

Vigo surprisingly took the lead in the seventh minute through Fyodor Smolov. Only after the break did Kroos then equalize, the 2014 world champion deliberately shot in after the pass from Marcelo (52.). Sergio Ramos converted a penalty kick (65.), but the guests equalized through Santi Mina (86.). Kroos failed in added time to Vigos goalkeeper Rubén Blanco from a good position.
