Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off for punching Cordoba defender Jose Angel Crespo but Real Madrid still picked up all three points thanks to an 89th Gareth Bale penalty in a 2-1 win
It was a miserable afternoon for Ronaldo in which he was overshadowed by former Manchester United winger Bebe for much of the game. His frustration got the better of him in the second half but was redcarded as it meant Bale was allowed to take both free-kicks and penalties. Benzema equalized for Madrid in the first half to make it 1-1 .More pics from the incident below:
