MADRID, Dec. 15 -- Real Madrid beat Rayo Vallecano 1-0 on Saturday in their last Liga Santander game before flying out to play in the World Club Cup.
Karim Benzema's early goal following a pass from Lucas Vazquez was enough to give Santiago Solari's side all three points against the team second from bottom of the table, but poor finishing almost cost Madrid three points.

Atletico Madrid took all three points from their visit to Valladolid's Nuevo Zorrilla Stadium, although they made hard work of the visit.
Nikola Kalinic, with his second goal in two games, and an Antoine Griezmann penalty put Atletico 2-0 ahead at halftime, but Valladolid drew level in five frantic second half minutes through Fernando Calero and a Saul own goal.
The game looked to be heading for a draw before Griezmann's second goal of the game gave Atletico the win and denied Valladolid a point their deserved on the balance of play.
Jorge Molina's third minute goal was enough to give Getafe a 1-0 win at home to Real Madrid and lift them momentarily up to third place in the table.
