SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA 2008/09 - ROUND 8 SUNDAY RESULTS

Great Sunday of Spanish Football in Round 8 of "La Liga". Here are
the results, scorers & images of the night.

















Great & crazy game at VILLAREAL who saw how ATLETICO DE
MADRID
with 10 men came back from the dead to equalize to see

the match finish in a 4-4 draw.

Atletico started on fire with SIMAO scoring in the 1ºst min & then
DIEGO FORLAN in the 21st. Then the disaster, when Atletico midfielder
Benegas received a Red card to leave his team with 10 men & gaps for
Villareal to exploit.






















Villareal did precisely this scoring in the 47th min via SENNA after
a goalkeeper Leo Franco fumbled. The nerves set in & LLORENTE

equalized in the 50th min to see Atletico collapse with more goals
from GONZALEZ in the 57th min & the fourth for Villareal by
ROSSI (below) in the 67th min.

Then the miracle happened when SIMAO broke out of midfield &

ran into the goal area to score his second in the 83rd min & Atletico´s
third. Two minutes later RAUL GARCIA who came on scored the
fourth & equalizer for Atletico to finish the crazy night in all square.



















NUMANCIA defeated RACING 2-1 after another crazy last minutes.
BAKERO put Numancia ahead in the 25th min & it seemed that it
would finish this way. But a 95th min penalty to Racing was converted
by TCHITE to see another penalty a minute later to Numancia in which
CISMA scored & won the game for Numancia


















Big surprise here with SEVILLA FC losing 0-1 to MALAGA who
are now 6th on the ladder. The winner was from ADRIAN in the
15th min
























MALLORCA gave ESPANYOL a good whipping with its
3-0 victory with goals from ADURIZ with two (49th &
60th min) & VARELA with a brilliant chip in the
76th min. Good win to Mallorca who needed the 3 points
to consolidate its middle table position.













VALENCIA came from behind to draw 1-1 with RECREATIVO
& keep the top spot of the classification ladder. CAMUÑAS
put Recreativo ahead in the 47th min, to later see DAVID
VILLA draw in the 62th min & save Valencia´s day.




















Narrow but important win to GETAFE by the minimum 1-0
over VALLADOLID. DIAZ ( above) headed the winning goal
in the 62nd min. Getafe consolidate themselves in the higher ladder
positions


















SPORTING OF GIJON
managed its 3ºrd straight win after winning
0-3 away to a poor DEPORTIVO. BARRAL ( above) transformed a
penalty in the 22nd min. More goals followed with CARMELO in the
26th min & D.CASTRO in the 84th, which could have been more.


















REAL MADRID won a tough game against a traditionally difficult
rival in ATHLETIC DE BILBAO 3-2. The win takes Real into 3ºrd
position on the ladder on equal points with FC Barcelona.

Real started well with a cracker from SNEIJDER in the 12th min
(above) & a second by HIGUAIN in the 28th min. Then the
concentration level dropped & allowed Bilbao to equalize with
goals from ETXEBERRIA in the 34th min & IRAOLA in the
44th min via a penalty.


















However, in the 2ºhalf , concretely in the 59th min HIGUAIN came to
the rescue with Real´s 3ºrd & his second to give the victory to Real
Madrid.
The other news of this game was the punishment handed by Coach
Schuster to Sergio Ramos by putting him on the bench after declarations
came out via the media of Ramos criticism of the teams playing system.
Ramos voiced that he was the "scape goat" to the fact that a winger was
missing on his side that he had to make up for. That did not go down well.
