SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA - ROUND9/2007 SUNDAY RESULTS

Here are the images & results of games played today as part of Round
9
of the Spanish 1º Division League, also known as "La Liga".


















REAL MADRID hosted DEPORTIVO & managed to break the
shackles, as is custom lately, in the last 15 mins & finish winning the
match 3-1 to retain the league leader tag
.
Deportivo shocked early with a goal in the very 1ºst min thanks to
XISCO ( seen above celebrating), but Real reacted 6mins later &
was awarded a penalty after a challenge on
VAN NISTELROOY
(seen below) who also converted it into goal.






















The game was in a stalemate, until GUTI took control of the midfield &
RAUL came on to attempt to lift the forward line. Two elements that
changed the game, as Guti gave 2 majestic passes to RAUL who scored
in the 78th min, & to ROBINHO who pounced to score the 3rd in the
89th min.
Once again the individual skills out did the group/team effort, a balance
that still needs to be corrected.
























Great game at OSASUNA who drew in the last quarter of the game
2-2 against VALLADOLID. The latter started well & scored in the 35th
min thanks to RUBIO which was followed with a 2º goal by SESMA
(pictured above celebrating).
Osasuna was heading for defeat when DADY turned around & saved
his team with 2º quick goals in the 73th & 78th min.
























MURCIA won RECREATIVO with the solitario goal from REGUEIRO
in the 46th min with his header. Valuable 3º points for Murcia.
























RACING won 2 - 0 GETAFE & managed to grab the valuable 3 points
& sink further Getafe who are not going as well as expected in the local
competition. Maybe they are concentrating too much on Uefa.
SERRANO ( pictured above) opened the scoring for Racing in the 39th
min & JORGE LOPEZ sealed the victory in the 74th minwith an excellent
.
Getafe were disallowed a goal for off -side during the game.
























REAL ZARAGOZA got back into winning form & put VILLAREAL
back on the ground with an excellent 4-1 victory.
OLIVEIRA scored first in the 36th min with a header, followed by
OSCAR in the 49th, DIEGO MILITO with a penalty in the 66th &
SERGIO GARCIA in the 78th.
For Villareal PIRES pulled back their only goal in the 81st min


















ATLETICO DE MADRID travelled to LEVANTE & suffered to win
a match that will surely count at the end of the season. The only goal
came from DIEGO FORLAN in the 26th min & gave the team 3º
points, & that
is the objective to keep in mind.






















FC BARCELONA
won ALMERIA 2-0 in a game were Barça passed
unexpected resistance & controversy with a claimed penalty not given
to Almeria.
It was not until the 37th min that HENRY manage to score Barça´s
1º goal. From there the local side was´nt able to sentence the game
until Barça was awarded a controversial penalty for fouling Giovanni
that was doubtful
for the normal angles . The penalty was scored by
MESSI (as pictured below) & that took the
fight out of Almeria.














SEVILLA FC
played VALENCIA CF under new coach MANOLO
JIMENEZ ( ex player of Sevilla ) & defeated a "worrying" Valencia
3-0.

















KANOUTE ( pictured celebrating ) started things rolling with an early
9th min goal. The game got "rough" & very competitive with yellow cards
being handed to both side. Then Sevilla Danish International POULSEN
scored his team 2º goal in the 74th min, followed by the nail in the coffin
by FABIANO with his goal in the 85th min.

Valencia fans & directives may begin to further question its coach Sanchez
Flores. There is a rumour that Mourinho may have offered his services.
