MADRID (Reuters) - Turkish striker Nihat Kahveci scored twice to give Villarreal a 2-0 victory at home to Getafe that meant Real Madrid will have to win away at Osasuna if they are to pocket their 31st league title on Sunday.

Nihat put Villarreal ahead late in the first half when he side-footed in at the far post after fellow striker Giuseppe Rossi had sped down the left flank and slid the ball across the face of the goal.

He took his tally for the season to 17 a minute before the break, having time to tee up his shot and pick his spot after Robert Pires had crossed the ball to the far post.

Villarreal are now seven points behind Real in the table and seven ahead of third-placed Barcelona, who host Valencia later on Sunday.

Real Murcia were relegated after they squandered a two-goal lead to lose 3-2 at Racing Santander and will now join Levante in the second division.

Javier Clemente's side ended the game with nine men after defender Alvaro Mejia and Stephane Pignol were both sent off in the space of two minutes late in the second half.

Racing's victory left them just two points behind fourth-placed Atletico Madrid and kept them in the hunt for the Champions League places.

Spanish striker Daniel Guiza went to the top of the Primera Liga scoring charts when he took his tally for the season to 24 with his double in Real Mallorca's 2-1 win at Athletic Bilbao.
