"Madrid were on target twice in each half, with Arda Guler restoring Madrid's three-goal cushion with a superb strike from inside his own half in the dying minutes. The hosts made a slow start but got their breakthrough in the 39th minute, with Antonio Rudiger brilliantly volleying in the rebound of Federico Valverde's parried drive."
"Valverde, who scored a hat-trick on Wednesday, has now been involved in 21 goals in 46 matches for Madrid this season across all competitions (nine goals, 12 assists), his highest tally in a single campaign with the club. But without Kylian Mbappe - who remains sidelined through injury - Madrid shared the attacking responsibility, as they had 14 shots."
"With five minutes of the 90 remaining, Grady Diangana rounded Thibaut Courtois to send a low ball across the face of goal, and Manuel Angel slid in, turning it into his own net. But Guler got Madrid's fourth four minutes later with an audacious attempt from well inside his own half that easily cleared Dituro and bounced into the empty net."
Real Madrid secured a dominant 4-1 victory over Elche at the Santiago Bernabeu, closing the gap to LaLiga leaders Barcelona to just one point. Antonio Rudiger opened the scoring in the 39th minute with a volley, followed by Federico Valverde's goal five minutes later. Dean Huijsen added a third in the 66th minute after an own goal by Manuel Angel. Arda Guler capped the performance with an audacious strike from inside his own half in the final minutes. The victory demonstrated Madrid's attacking prowess without injured Kylian Mbappe, with Valverde continuing his exceptional form across all competitions.
