Real Madrid take a 2-0 lead into half time against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga.

Rayo could have levelled immediately after, but Saul's shot was saved by Diego Lopez. Tito then connected with a corner but directed his header wide.

Despite good pressure from the home side, it was Madrid who had the game's next half chance; however, Benzema was unable to reach Ronaldo's cross

Yago Falque then had the ball in the net for Rayo, but it was ruled out for offside.

Madrid immediately took advantage of that with their second of the night. This time Benzema was able to reach Gareth Bale's cross and headed the ball into the back of the net.
