Match Review

Real Madrid kept up their pursuit of the LaLiga title with a 2-1 win over Cadiz on Thursday night.

Los Blancos took the lead thanks to a first-half header from Eder Militao before German midfielder Toni Kroos provided a rocket of a strike to double their lead. Former Arsenal forward Lucas Perez grabbed a late goal for the visitors.

The result sees Madrid go two points behind long-term rivals Barcelona at the summit of the LaLiga table. They'll now break for the World Cup.
