finished being played & have given some surprising results, although its
obvious that the mayority of teams still need matches to get into form.
RACING OF SANTANDER received at home FC BARCELONA with
much expectation to see all the new Barça stars. The fielding of the "4
Fantasticos" ( Henry, Messi, Eto´o & Ronaldinho) did not happen from the
start, as Henry stayed on the bench.
The game saw a perfectly disciplined Santander in defence, with a Barça side
lacking ideas in attack. Barça insisted in playing long balls & going through the
center to only find the Santader wall.
Thiery Henry came on for Messi in the 2 half to see if he could lift the side, but
with missed chances & little control of the ball by his team, the objective was
difficult : Final score a 0-0 draw
RECREATIVO DE HUELVA & REAL BETIS played a solid & toughly
fought out game which ended in a 1- 1 draw, thanks to PONGOLLE
for Recreativo & NANO for Real Betis.
MALLORCA could not have started better after steamrolling over
LEVANTE with a 3-0 victory. The man of the match was Argentine
IBAGAZA who scored 2 goals for Mallorca. His teammate & new
signning from Getafe, GUIZA, got on the scoring sheet with a goal
for Recreativo & NANO for Real Betis.

Newly promoted ALMERIA gave a lesson of Football to a lost
DEPORTIVO DE A CORUÑA with a fabulous 0 - 3victory

& CRUSAT all scoring for Almeria.

Northern Spain clash that ended in a 0-0 draw.
VALENCIA CF played VILLAREAL at home & it all turned
sour for Valencia with 2 RED CARDS - Villa & Joaquin. Villareal
won 0-3 thanks to goals from TOMASSEN ( pictured above),

a few surprizes in there Valencia and only nil-nil draw for Barca
Valencia looked terrible - although the officiating looked a little biased in the second half. Villa's performance didn't warrent his childish attitude, replete with diving and having temper tantrums. Very poor behavior from one of Valencia's most important players. Now two of their stars will be missing for their match against Almeria, who looked like real competitors over the weekend.
So how about the newly promoted teams! I wouldn't be suprised if Valladolid finishes top ten this season, given their performance in the Spanish Segunda last season.
