- La Liga - with both Madrid teams in action with mixed results.
REAL MADRID went into tonights game with certain tension
after being knocked out of Champions & the teams coach Schuster
being questioned. The best way to cure any doubts is with a win over
a dangerously 5th placed ESPANYOL with a 2-1 scoreline.
Espanyol started well with the first goal thanks to VALDO ( above)
in the 28th min, thus setting in doubts within the home team.

Then Real began to regain control of the reigns & unsettle the
opponent, until Argentine forward HIGUAIN ( above) equalized in
the the 42nd min & allowed his team to go into the dressing room with
certain calmness.
It was´nt until the 72nd min that the "grid-lock" was broken when
a penalty was rightly given to RAUL who took the penalty himself

Atletico attacked from then on, but the excellent game from
MATUZALEM ( back from injury & pictured above), OSCAR &

Three vital points to Zaragoza, another blown opportunity by Atletico.
