SPANISH CUP 2008 - LAST 16 TEAMS: 1º LEG THURSDAY GAMES

SPANISH CUP matches continue with two games scheduled for tonight,
Thursday, to put an end to the 1º leg round ( see below posts for details
of yesterday´s games). Here´s is a summary of the games played with
result, scorers & images.


















ATLETICO DE MADRID played VALLADOLID & the clash finished
in a 0-0 draw, taking all the action into the all deciding 2º leg match.
Atletico start strong with chances that were later matched by Vallodolid.

The local side even hit the post via Diego Forlan & were unlucky not to
score after a series of Luis Garcia attacks.

The 2º half saw Valladolid dominate the ball & were unlucky not to have
been
awarded a penalty after Ze Castro fouled Ogbeche in the box.
Atletico reacted
calling on Sergio Aguero to put some fire up front, but
that was in vain, as both
teams finally settled for the draw to risk
everything for the 2º leg.
























The other game was the exciting clash between MALLORCA & REAL
MADRID
which finished in a 2-1 victory for the home team. Lots of
merit for Mallorca
that stood firm against a determined Real Madrid side
( Raul,Robinho & Sneidjer were on from the start to show the seriousness)
& managed to take
the game. However, Real has the chance at the tie if it
can defeat well Mallorca
at home in the 2ºleg.

Mallorca started well scoring first with a 22nd min goal from TREGO
pictured below.
























Real Madrid equalized almost immediately thanks to the goal from

HIGUAIN, as shown below.
























However, the 2º half saw Valladolid score its second via ARANGO in
the 49th
min after some good individual play. That was enough, as
Mallorca managed
to hold out the Real Madrid attacks & stand their
ground.

It will go down to the wire at Madrid with the 2ºleg. Mallorca for the
moment in
the driving seat, the tie is in their hands.
