Cristiano Ronaldo scored two first half penalties as Real Madrid defeated Valencia 4-1 at the Mestalla on Saturday, January 27, in a battle between third and fourth in the La Liga.

By converting the two penalties in the first half, Ronaldo has now scored over 100 penalties across all competitions for club and country.

He has taken 120 penalties in his career and has scored 101 penalties, missing 19 in the process.

Ronaldo's first strike from the penalty spot came in the 16th minute after he was fouled when played through on goal.

Benzema was then bundled over in the box in the 38th minute by Valencia's Martin Montoya after jumping for a header. Ronaldo again step forward to take and dispatch with utmost perfection.

The first half ended 2-0 in favour of Real Madrid but it was all Valencia at the start of the second half

Thee home side finally pulled one back through Santi Mina who headed home from a corner from the right.

But Madrid restored their two goal lead with six minutes to go as Marcelo made no mistake with his strike at goal, placing his effort past Neto into the bottom corner, after exchanging passes with Asensio.

Toni Kroos put the icing on the cake as his strike in the 89th minute was too hot for Neto to keep out.

The victory sees Madrid cut the deficit at the top to 16 points as Los Blancos move to 38 points on the log. Ronaldo also takes his La Liga tally to eight goals but it is a far cry from the 29 La Liga goals he scored in 29 matches last season.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity.

The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
