Karim Benzema opened the scoring when he turned home Cristiano Ronaldo&rsquo;s low cross after just 18 minutes to register his 13th goal of the season. Malaga &rsquo;keeper Carlos Kameni then kept his side in the game with a string of impressive saves as Ronaldo was held scoreless for the first time in the league this season.
However, Gareth Bale smashed home a second seven minutes from time and the visitors held on despite having Isco sent-off moments later and seeing Roque Santa Cruz half the hosts' deficit in stoppage time. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll get the merit for this, but I have the luck to coach a team with fantastic players,&rdquo; said Real boss Carlo Ancelotti.
Fan dies in brawl Meanwhile, a fan died of cardiac arrest following clashes near Atletico Madrid&rsquo;s Vicente Calderon Stadium before the Spanish champions&rsquo; 2-0 win over Deportivo la Coruna on Sunday, a hospital spokeswoman said. Police said 24 people were arrested in incidents that took place in the streets parallel to the Manzanares river surrounding the Calderon.
