Real Madrid is back in first place (temporarily).
1: 2 over Elche was enough for today's guest (Saturday) to take 3 important points and once again pass Real Sociedad, who will try to return to the top tomorrow, when they host Athletic Bilbao.
Vinicius was the game man of the Blancos.
The Brazilian continues to prove week after week that he is one of the hottest players in Spain and in the whole of Europe, with a pair of goals winning for Real in the game.
The first came in the 22nd minute after Mariano's cooking, with the latter leaving Vinicius alone in front of the goalkeeper.
The Brazilian did not get confused and put the ball in the net.
In the 73rd minute the second came.
Luca Modric cooked, Vinicius artfully bounced over Cassia and arranged for Real the second. Pre Mila still had time to shrink for Elche in the 86th minute, but the Blancos did not let the game slip out of her hands - and picked up the 3 points.
