SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA - ROUND 16/ 2007 SUNDAY GAMES RESULTS

Eight games, of the ten, are down this Sunday in Round 16 of "La Liga"
with its usual dose of goals, excitement & surprises that SFS summarizes
with its weekly resume of results, images & scorers.
























Kanoute´s face (above) says it all, near miss & frustration, added to
which his team SEVILLA FC went down to 9º men with "Red Cards"
to Luis Fabiano & Fazio. The end result was a 0-0 draw away at
VALLADOLID, a reverse for Sevilla in their local competition
aspirations.
























It was a different story from Sevilla´s other Football team REAL BETIS
who managed its second straight win over ALMERIA win a 3-1 scoreline.
Almeria started early & well with a quick goal in the 9th min via NEGREDO,

but it was equalized via EDU ( pictured above ) in the 27th min & PAVONE
added 2º more goals for Betis in the 50th & 82th min.
Good win & more needed oxygen for Betis.




















VILLAREAL visited GETAFE & needed a win to keep in touch at the
top of the ladder, & they did not disappoint with a 1-3 victory. NIHAT
got things rolling with Villareal´s first in the 15th min & he managed
the 2º goal in the 78thmin , with CAZORLA grabbing the 3rd in the
83rd min.
Getafe managed to score a goal in the 85th min via KEPA & they also
missed
a penalty.
Correctly won by Villareal, who stay high on the Liga table.
















The MALLORCA 0-0 draw with ATHLETIC DE BILBAO was a
goalkeeper affair during the whole game. Goalkeeping saves galour
that keep the scoreline free from any goals.

















DIEGO MILITO ( above) scored REAL ZARAGOZA´s first & only
goal to see later in the 52nd min DEPORTIVO equalize via
COLOCCINI. The game finished 1-1.
























REAL MURCIA surprised the "revelation side" at home with a
2-1 victory over RACING DE SANTANDER. It was´nt until the

56th min the GOITOM scored first for Murcia, & that was quickly
equalized by Racing via SMOLAREK five minutes later.
However, veteran BAIANO secured the victory for Murcia with a
83rd min goal.
A much needed win for Murcia.



















The picture above says it all, ATLETICO DE MADRID ran into the
RECREATIVO wall & their match finished in a 0 - 0 draw. The

problem was neither team knew how to finish off the plays & convert
them into goals.
This draw was not exactly the scoreline Atletico was looking for, as they

are attempting to consolidate their place up at the top of the ladder. They
are lucky to stay 3º for another week as Espanyol & Villareal are hot on
their
heels, they need to play better.

















Against the backdrop of the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium 60th Anniversary,
REAL MADRID
maintains its leadership & 4ºpoint advantage over
second placed team & rival FC Barcelona, after beating OSASUNA 2-0.
VAN NISTELROOY who tonight played his 50th match for Real, scored
his teams
first goal from a Sneijder free-kick when he managed to header
the ball into the net in the 16th min.
The 2º half saw Osasuna play well & take control until SNEIJDER
scored the second & final goal in the 75 min, to knock the wind out of the

Osasuna sails. Real Madrid go into next weeks "clasico" against Barça with
the confidence
of being the Liga leader. A handsome advantage!
