Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo singlehandedly picked apart Málaga in La Liga yesterday with 2 goals in the first half (2:0), helping the Merengues trim the gap with leaders Barcelona somewhat, but the red card he was shown by referee Miguel Angel Perez Lasa made sure what should have been a huge gain in the FTBL system turned out as a loss.

The Portugal international went into the game in a difficult position with a high plank to beat. His two first-half goals took care of that, but then came the expulsion in the 70th minute, and Ronaldo ended up with a loss of 4.15 points in our system.

In the first game after disqualification, Ronaldo will have to try hard to avoid further falling down the ranking with a daunting plank of 32 points to beat. He now has an overall FTBL score of 172.63 points.
