SPANISH FOOTBALL - "LA LIGA" - ROUND 24 RESULTS

Round 24 is characterized by plenty of drawn matches & a
Madrid derby which was emotional & controversial at the
sametime.

Yesterday the long awaited derby between ATLETICO DE
MADRID & REAL MADRID finished as traditionally derby´s
do, with a draw , a 1-1 draw.

FERNANDO TORRES got his 1º ever goal in against Real &
set his team on the road of a seemimg victory.

It was a whitewash after the 1º goal & Atletico got the ball
into the net again via PEREA, the was unjustifiably disallowed.
Real were playing terrible & its defence - excepting Higuera -
was a mess.
Then a mental lapse by Atletico allowed debutant HIGUAIN

to score his first ever goal in Spain & draw the match.















The 2º half continued with the Atletico dominance & thanks
to Casillas - who stopped it all - kept the match drawn.
Cannavaro had a horrible game & should have been given the
red card earlier than in the last moments of the game.
In summary, Real were left off the hook, thanks to missed chances
& some very controversial referring.
Here is the VIDEO , excuse the music put on by the unidentified
creator!



The other Saturday game finished in a 0-0 draw between
LEVANTE & ZARAGOZA

DEPORTIVO managed to go back home with the valuable 3
points thanks to the only goal of the match by ARIZMENDI
pictured above. REAL SOCIEDAD are in trouble, in the relegation
zone of the ladder

VILLAREAL are uncomfortably close to the "danger area"
of the ladder & their victory today will give them some
breathing space. MATIAS FERNANDEZ above played well
& set up the 1º goal for Villareal for TOMASSEN to score. The
match finished 2-1 against MALLORCA; FUENTES scored the
2º for Villareal & PEREYRE scored for the visitors

ESPANYOL continue on their winning run with another victory
over OSASUNA 0 - 2. TAMUDO , pictured above, scored along
with CORO

an interesting BAMOGO celebrating Celta´s 2º goal in dedication
to his child.

But in the 91ºmin , Nastic drew thanks to CASTRO.
