Cristiano Ronaldo struck a last-gasp winner as nervy Real Madrid
kept their Primera Division hopes alive in dramatic fashion against
Osasuna.
Ronaldo headed home his second goal of the game in the 89th minute
as Madrid, who twice trailed to battling Osasuna, moved back to
within a point of leaders Barcelona with three games remaining.
This was Madrid's 17th win in 18 league encounters at the Bernabeu
this season, but they had to do it the hard way after Osasuna went
ahead through first-half goals from Carlos Aranda and Krisztian
Vadocz.
However, Manuel Pellegrini's men hit back both times through Ronaldo
and Marcelo to go into half-time at 2-2 and then, having rode their
luck on occasion after the break, claimed the points when Ronaldo
netted his 22nd league goal of the season.
