SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA - ROUND 23 /2008 SUNDAY GAMES RESULTS

Huge Sunday in Round 23 of "La Liga" with plenty of goals, specially
for Real Madrid & Atletico de Madrid who got back on track. Here is
the full
round up of results, scorers & images.

The big news that will overshadow all other games is REAL MADRID´s

historical 7-0 victory over VALLADOLID, which enabled them to
open up a 8 point gap over their nearest rival Fc Barcelona who could
only manage
a draw yesterday against Sevilla.
Little to add here except the steamrolling that Valladolid got, even
though
they did play a good game & even touched the post. The only
bad news
was the injury suffered by ROBINHO, which allowed
Drenthe a run who
did an excellent job & game. GUTI was excellent
& ROBBEN deserves a mentioned as he was a real protagonist on
the field & livened up the forward line. Here are the scorers;




















BAPTISTA scored first in the 8th min from a Robben pass.
























RAUL
got back onto the goalsheet with two goals, the first ( & Reals
second) in the 30min & the other from a penalty in the 38th min which
gave his team its 4th goal


















Real Madrids 3rd goal came from ROBBEN in the 32min which was also
Reals third. The Dutchmen played a great game with goal passes for fellow

teammates & was dangerous all night. Great news for the team & player.
















GUTI starred with goal passes & also managed two himself , with his
second a real beauty to be witness in the future via the numerous internet
videos that will be available. His goals came in the 43rd min & the 61st
min.
























Young DRENTHE came on for injuried Robinho in the 1ºst half &
took the opportunity
well & scored Real Madrid seventh in the 79th min.
























ATLETICO DE MADRID went to RACING & got back on course with a
0-2 victory, back into Champions League positions on the table & DIEGO
FORLAN
back in form with his teams two goals in the 55th & 73rd min.
Forlan´s second goal was a real "cracker". Also Aguero played with a
"miracle" recovery of his ankle injury, show the Atletico "spirit".


















PONGOLLE ( above) scored two goals ( 17min & 25min) to take
his side RECREATIVO to a 1 -2 victory over ESPANYOL whos
only scorer was EWERTHORN in the 39th. Espanyol slip from
Champions & loss steam.

game with 7 yellow cards over REAL ZARAGOZA who lost 1-0.
PLASIL ( above) scored Osasuna´s own goal in the 45th min.
























ATHLETIC DE BILBAO won by the minimum with a solitary,
but no less important goal by LLORENTE in the 55th min to defeat
LEVANTE 1-0.

MALLORCA played a 0-0 draw against ALMERIA


















The last game of the night, finally brought some joy to the Valencia fans

after their club VALENCIA CF defeated REAL BETIS 3-1 to give some
more
oxygen & deliver hope that the club has found the right road to
save the
season.
The other good news was the reencounter with the goal by DAVID
VILLA
who scored twice for Valencia along with SILVA. The
consolation goal
