Oscar Serrano and Ivan Bolado injected some life into the home side and had Arana's cross not flashed inches over Bolado's head after 71 minutes, Racing could have snatched an undeserved equalizer.

Racing Santander's Oscar Serrano Rodriguez (L) fights for the ball with Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo during their Spanish first division soccer match at El Sardinero stadium in Santander April 4, 2010.

The chance went begging and five minutes later Higuain assured the points. Guti, who had come on as a substitute hit a diagonal pass, Higuain broke the offside trap and beat Coltori to score Madrid's second.

All that was left was for Ronaldo to fire over an open goal in injury time. Real Madrid goes back to the top of the table and now all attention will be turned onto next weekend's game against Barcelona.
