MADRID, Spain -- Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in the second half to give Real Madrid a hard-fought 2-1 away win at Elche in the Spanish league Wednesday. In a lacklustre, strategic match, Elche defender Eduardo Albacar struck a free kick that David Lomban back-headed toward goal, forcing an athletic save from goalkeeper Diego Lopez in the 10th minute. Ronaldo scored from a direct free kick in the 50th minute which bounced just in front of goalkeeper Manuel Herrera, who got a touch but was unable to deflect the ball. "It was a very difficult match in which our opponents played very well and caused us some problems, and there was that goal near the end that we shouldnt have conceded," said Lopez. Ghanaian striker Richmond Boakye who is on loan to Elche from Juventus, headed a perfectly-aimed shot into goal from an Albacar cross in injury time. Madrid was then awarded a much-argued penalty one minute later as defender Pepe wrestled with Elche midfielder Carlos Sanchez in the penalty area during a free kick. Ronaldo stepped up to convert the shot, six minutes into injury time. "We have to be realists, but they have scored two goals against us from two actions that from my point of view should not have gone against us," said Albacar. "I end up with the sensation that they have robbed us. From having got a draw against a very good team, I go away feeling weve been mugged." Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said that as a general rule he did not like talking about referees decisions. "Its difficult to comment because my position from the bench is not so good, but I spoke to Pepe and he told me the penalty was clear." Madrids recent star signing Gareth Bale was sidelined due to a left thigh injury sustained during training last week. Elsewhere, two goals each by Ivan Rakitic and Carlos Bacca gave Sevilla a 4-1 win over nine-man Rayo Vallecano. Adrian Gonzalez pulled one back for Rayo in the 55th Rayo lost defender Alejandro Galvez in the 65th minute on a second yellow card offence and forward Jonathan Viera in the 81st on a straight red card. An injury time goal by Brazil midfielder Jonas gave Valencia a 1-0 win over Granada. Barcelona leads the standings with Atletico Madrid second-place, also on 18 points after six matches, but on a worse goal differential. Real Madrid is third on 16 with Valencia seventh on nine, while Granada is 14th on five, Elche is 18th on three and Rayo is bottom, also on three.

Dylan Larkin Jersey .com) - Quarterback Cardale Jones will return to Ohio State next season.Bloomington, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - The 22nd-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes go in search of their third straight Big Ten Conference victory when they pay a visit to the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday. Ohio State suffered a surprising 71-65 home loss to Iowa in its Big Ten opener on Dec. 30, but the team has bounced back to thwart the upset bids of both Illinois (77-61) and Minnesota (74-72 OT). The Buckeyes, who are 13-3 overall, are playing only their true third road game here, their second in a row, and they have split their first two. Indiana has won 11 of its first 15 bouts, but it is 1-1 in conference after beating Nebraska (70-65) on the road in the opener, and then getting whipped at Michigan State this past Monday, 70-50. The Hoosiers are 9-1 at home this season, with the lone setback coming in a shocking 88-86 setback to Eastern Washington back on Nov. 24. Indiana leads the overall series with the Buckeyes 102-76, but the Buckeyes have won eight of the last 11 meetings, including four of the last six in Bloomington. Indiana won the only meeting a year ago, 72-64, and this bout marks the third consecutive game in the series played on the Hoosiers home floor. DAngelo Russell nailed five 3-pointers en route to 27 points, as Ohio State slipped by Minnesota in overtime last Tuesday. Marc Loving added 13 points, while Shannon Scott came close to notching a triple-double as he finished with nine points, seven rebounds and 10 assists. As a team, the Buckeyes converted 50.8 percent of their field goal attempts, while allowing 45.0 percent success to the Golden Gophers. Amir Williams logged five blocks for OSU, which outscored UM in the paint, 46-40. Russelll has been Ohio States most consistent scorer this season, as he averages 18.dddddddddddd3 ppg to go with 82 assists. Scott has 121 helpers, as he is one of the top playmakers in the country. Loving nets 12.3 ppg, and Sam Thompson 10.1 ppg for a team that generates 82.8 ppg behind typical shooting efforts of .522 overall, .405 from beyond the arc, and .712 from the foul line. The teams defensive effort yields only 60.3 ppg, with foes struggling to hit 38.7 percent of their total shots, which encompasses a 31.3 percent showing from downtown. Favorable margins in both rebounding (+4.5) and turnovers (+5.6) continue to keep the Buckeyes heading in the right direction. Poor shooting and a dismal showing on the glass proved to be Indianas undoing in its recent clash with Michigan State. The Hoosiers connected on only 28.3 percent of their field goal attempts, missing the mark on 19 of their 24 3- point tries along the way, while they were beaten badly in the rebounding battle by a ridiculous 50-28 margin. Yogi Ferrell was the only IU player to reach double figures in the 20-point loss, as he tallied 17 points. The other three starters combined for only 17 points. Indiana is scoring with the best teams in the conference, as it puts up 82.9 ppg thanks to shooting efforts that come in at .482 overall, .393 from 3-point land, and .719 at the charity stripe. Conversely, the teams defensive effort allows for 71.5 ppg, and foes are having trouble converting at the stripe, doing so just 59.4 percent of the time. James Blackmon, Jr. (16.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg), Ferrell (16.3 ppg, 4.9 apg) and Troy Williams (12.5 ppg, 5.6 rpg) are the teams top offensive weapons.
