Garcia broke the deadlock for the visitors before Carrillo and Ponce scored in the later stages of the second half to ensure a comeback win for Elche.
The loss has pushed Vallecano out of the top half of the table as they stand in 11th place with 31 points.
On the other hand, Real Madrid returned to winning ways with a 3-0 home win over Alaves, stretching their lead at the top to 6 points.
Asensio, Junior and Benzema found the net for the hosts getting Real Madrid to 57 points.
In their last 5 matches across competitions, Real has won just 2. Hence, form has been questionable and if Madrid are gunning for the title, this has to improve.
Both sides last met in November where Real Madrid won 2-1 at home.
Kroos and Benzema’s first half efforts were enough even after Falcao pulled one back for Vallecano.
