Match Report
Gareth Bale scored his first goal in 11 league matches to seal all three points for Los Blancos. The Welshman latched onto a cross from Alvaro Odriozola and volleyed superbly into the back of the net.
Bale had a chance to double his tally later on while the hosts were also denied by a save from Thibaut Courtois in the first half.
Substitute Gonzalo Melero headed wide from point-blank range in the opening seconds of the first half, and team-mate David Ferreiro had a dipping drive from the edge of the box tipped over the crossbar by Courtois.
Match Events
11' GOAL! Huesca 0-1 Real Madrid (Bale)
Los Blancos put the minnows to the sword after that bright start with a wonderful finish from the Welshman to arrest his LaLiga drought. Odriozola breaks down the right flank and squares a looping cross into the far side of the box where the striker puts a rocket of a volley straight into the bottom-right corner past Jovanovic.
25' NICE TRY! Bale's shot saved
Jovanovic with the save! It's an absolute corker of a stop as the keeper leaps to his top-left corner and pushes Bale's looping effort wide for a corner.
57' CHANCE! Ferreiro's shot saved
It's a one-handed leap to push Ferreiro's fabulous strike from the left of the box at the end of a quickfire counter-attack that keeps his side in the lead. Huesca then concede a free-kick from their own corner after some shoving in the box.
69' CHANCE! Bale's shot saved
That arguably should have been the game as the Madrid man is released one-on-one against Jovanovic but cannot find the net as his tight-angled shot takes a deflection off the keeper's arm. Corner to the visitors.
