Real Madrid achieve a long-awaited victory
MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid ended their long wait to win the Primera Liga title by beating Real Valladolid 2-0 on Saturday, thanks to two goals in the first match of Santiago Solari's first game on the home of the struggling European champions.
The young coach Vincius gave the new coach and the angry fans in Santiago Bernabeu a shot of hope after 83 minutes from the left, and fired a shot that changed direction sharply after colliding with Kikia and Levias of Valladolid to score a goal for the visitors defender.
Real looked lucky not to score twice in the second half after Robin Karaz and Tony Pia hit the crossbar, but the hosts had their first victory in six league games after captain Sergio Ramos scored a penalty in the 88th minute.
The victory pushed Real from ninth to sixth with 17 points, four points behind Barcelona, who will meet Rayo Vijcano later in the day.
Despite the loss of focus after a humiliating 5-1 defeat at Barcelona last week at the summit, Real had a perfect start against Valladolid, who have not lost in the last six games, but the early chances for the hosts soon faded and players emerged after the break Amid booing.
Gareth Bell was specifically treated with violent treatment from the home crowd when he was substituted and the favorite of the crowd, Marco Asencio, was displeased with disappearing after Venecius replaced him as a substitute, who seldom took part under coach Yolene Loptege.
