Real Madrid put in a professional performance to beat Cadiz 2-1 in our final game before the World Cup.
Madrid were five points behind Barcelona before this game, but the win slashed the gap to just two points.
It wasn’t an easy game for Madrid, especially in the first-half which nearly ended goalless until Eder Militao headed in a 40th minute goal from a Toni Kroos cross.
In the 70th minute, Toni Kroos went from provider to goalscorer, as he whipped in a shot from 25 yards to beat a helpless Jeremias Ledesma.
Madrid missed a couple of chances before Lucas Perez scored for the away side in the 81st minute to seal a nervy end to the tie.
Madrid head into the World Cup break, two points behind Barcelona.
