Real rallies to extend win streak

REAL Madrid survived a scare ahead of its Copa del Rey clash against Barcelona as it came from behind to win 2-1 at Mallorca in the Spanish league on Saturday.

Real's seventh straight away victory in league play extended its advantage over second-place Barcelona to eight points.

Jose Mourinho's team almost got caught looking ahead to this season's fourth clasico as Mallorca went ahead through Tomer Hemed's 39th-minute header. But halftime substitute Gonzalo Higuain snapped Madrid out of its lackluster effort with an equalizer in the 72nd, and forward Jose Callejon netted the winner in the 84th minute.
