MADRID - ATLETICO DE MADRID derby, were Real received the
"La Liga" Champions Cup for winning last season.
Things started brilliantly for Atletico with a goal in the 1º min with a
header by Argentine AGUERO. Real Madrid looked nervious,but slowly
began to get its play together & found its touch.
So much so, that RAUL scored an excellent header in the 14min
to equalize for his team. From here onwards it was a see-saw game
with Real gaining in strenght as time went by.
The 2º half was virtually all Real Madrid who were playing well
& surprising many with the change of image & play. Everything
came into place when in the 79th min new "star" signning
SNEIJDER scored to put Real ahead
Atletico could have equalized in the final moment, but the header
by DIEGO FORLAN was disallowed for offside. Final score 2-1 to
Real Madrid. Good game from Real, who deserved to win, with a
special mention to Sergio Ramos who was outstanding.
Great start!
The SEVILLA FC clash with GETAFE was affected by the double RED
cards given to Getafe players Sousa & Cortes. Although Getafe scored
first with a brilliant free kick by PABLO, it was a question of time that
Sevilla would score. That happen with JESUS NAVAS opening up his
teams 1º of 4 goals.
The other scorers came in the 2º half with goals from LUIS
FABIANO, KANOUTE & KERZHAKOV. Final score 4-1.

The fright of the night was the collapse of Sevilla player PUERTA
who was taken to hospital with a heart-respiratory attack. The
player is in intensive care & stable.

MURCIA is a new comer this season to the 1º division & played a
strong REAL ZARAGOZA at home. Murcia started perfectly scoring
first thanks to ex-Real Madrid defender MEJIA ( pictured above)
Zaragoza recovered from the early shock & in the 30m Brazilian
RICARDO OLIVEIRA scored to equalize. But Murcia were inspired
tonight & new signning, ex - Celta player, BAIANO scored the winning
goal to take his team onward to a "surprising" victory. Final score
2-1
Rest of the Round 1 games will be played tomorrow.

great start by Real Madrid. Hope they can build on it. I think Athletico is gona finish in the top four, alongside Barca, Real and Sevilla.
lets hope so Zazinho
cheers
Glad we won, but because of a Spanish media company dispute I was very upset to discover that the game was not to be televised as scheduled outside of Spain, so I had to watch the Getafe/Sevilla game instead which was good, but no replacement.
This is the same crap that happened at the beginning of last season which caused Sevilla's first opening games not shown.
...bloody Spanish, always argueing with each other!!
(harsh treatment for Getafe, they were the better team before the sendings off Laudrup will be a good manager I'm sure)
Saturday’s derby proved 2 things known by almost everybody except for Spanish sports media. Who need to increase sales of their daily soccer papers or their Radio/TV ratings. Maybe it’s because, when studying journalism, they teach them “don’t let the truth spoil you a good story”. The 2 known facts are:
1. - Real Madrid is not Vodjovina
2. - Atletico de Madrid is not Sevilla
i just hope the dispute doesn't drag on -people are suffering for gods sake! ;)
Sorry to report some bad news: The dispute drags on and next weekend will be a nightmare
Hala Madrid! It sounds like it was a great game all-around, with both teams threatening and playing well. It also sounds like Madrid's defense finally stepped up - I was nervous when I saw the midfield with both Guti and Sneijder starting. Hopefully the performances will continue.
Unfortunately I couldn't watch it - I really hope this problem gets resolved quickly. Barcelona games are also not being shown, so I can't even scope out my team's competition. Isn't this the same thing that happened with Sevilla at the begining of last season? Where can I find updates on the dispute? When can I expect it to be resolved? Anyone?
