Ronaldo served the first half of a 2-match ban as Real Madrid took on Deportivo La Coruña.  Despite Madrid’s mythic stature in La Liga, they hadn’t beaten Deportivo once in 19 years.  Granero opened up the scoring, but it was Guti’s classy playmaking and Benzema’s game winning goals that broke the curse at La Coruña.

Good game, 3-1 to Real.
