SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA - ROUND 30/ 2008 SATURDAY GAMES RESULTS

Two games played tonight of Round 30 & the race for the League
title takes another colour - yellow - as FC Barcelona lost & Villareal
won to take the latter ahead of Barça on the classification table.
























Oh Dear! FC BARCELONA played away to REAL BETIS & lost
the match 3-2, & the 2º place on the classification table. Rijkaard´s
men went in at half time 0-2 ahead & saw all that effort destroyed
at the end of the match with a marvellous Betis comeback that lifted
the stadium.

Barcelona got off the a flying start with young BOJAN ( above) scoring
again this week in the 12th min, that was quickly followed by a second
goal 2ºmins
later with a SAMUEL ETO´O header.
























However from the 45th min onwards, Barça lost control of the whole
game & were "steamrolled" by Betis with EDU (above) being the
main protagonist scoring twice.

Edu started the comeback with a goal in the 63rd min, then missed
a penalty in the 75th min. But a minute later JUANITO hooked a
brilliant shoot that equalized the game, to later see Edu return in
the
78th min with the third Betis goal & winner.

Huge loss for Barça, tough week ahead for them & coach Rijkaard.
























VILLAREAL
tramped all over ATLETICO DE MADRID to win
3-0 & take them 2º on the ladder ahead of Fc Barcelona. It was
90 mins of the Villareal show, with the Atletico defence once again
failing in this big occasion. Added to this the Aguero - Forlan team
upfront for Atletico was non-existent as they were effectively cancelled
by Villareal.

CAZORLA (above) got Villareal going with his goal in the 38th min
after an Atletico defensive mistake by Perea. Then 4 mins later Villareal
Turkish star NIHAT scored the 2º goal to set his team on sail for victory.

The Turk, NIHAT (below) again scored in the 67th min to seal the
3 points & take
his team ahead of Barça in the race for the League title.

Worthy win , excellent game from Villareal as Atletico were not in the
match at all. Now Atletico must keep at bay Racing & Sevilla for the
4th place Champions position on the classification table.
