Real Madrid Defeats Espanyol 2-0 in La Liga Match

Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory against Espanyol in a match that concluded the seventh round of La Liga. Despite facing difficulties in imposing their conditions at home and Cristiano Ronaldo's ongoing goal drought, Los Blancos managed to come out on top.

Played at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, Francisco Roman came to the forefront for the Merengues by scoring both goals in the 30th and 71st minutes. Meanwhile, the Portuguese player continues to struggle to find the back of the net.

Real Madrid had to work hard to overcome a resilient Espanyol side. Mario Hermoso put in an excellent defensive performance against Cristiano Ronaldo, leaving him no room to breathe.

For now, Isco's two goals were enough for Real Madrid to secure three points, placing them among the top five teams in the competition with 14 points. However, they are still far behind Barcelona, who currently leads the table with 21 points.

On the other hand, Espanyol remained on eight points but left a good impression with their performance against the reigning Spanish champions. If they continue playing in the same style, they have the potential to move away from the relegation zone.
