SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA 2008/09 - ROUND 17 SATURDAY GAMES RESULTS (VIDEOS)

The Spanish League - "La Liga" - got back into action tonight with two
great games in Round 17 that SFS will now give in form of a resume &
with results: includes two videos of goals scored.

FC BARCELONA hosted bottom positioned MALLORCA & in the end

managed to dominante & steer home a 3-1 victory. Barça started without
Messi & Alves & felt the lack of dominance in the right side. In fact,
Mallorca was standing firm & scored first via ADURIZ as the below video

shows:

(Aduriz 14th min - goal Mallorca)



Barça reacted & managed to score the equalizer via HENRY as the below
video illustrates, a great goal:

(Henry 30th min - goal FC Barcelona)



Then for the 2ºhalf Coach Guardiola put on ALVES & INIESTA who
cameback from injury, & that transformed the side to give it more
attacking power & ball control.

















INIESTA put Barça ahead in the 75th min.
























TOURE scored the third in the 92th min & stamped his team dominance
to continue
were they left off last year. FC Barcelona look strong & are
THE team so far this season.

















VALENCIA CF needed to win to keep up with the Barcelona train &
ATLETICO DE MADRID had a golden chance to create a gap against

its followers. However, Atletico again disappointed with a "strange"
move by Coach Aguirre to keep Maxi Rodriguez & Maniche out for the
Spanish Cup match against Barcelona next Tuesday. They paid
dearly for this decision as they lost to a resistent Valencia CF 3-1 & a
brilliant DAVID SILVA who cameback from injury.

After Valencia dominanted early on, they were rewarded with a penalty
in the 33rd min which DAVID VILLA (above) converted.
























Then the DAVID SILVA show continued with his goals in the 38th min
& the 69th min, the latter a brilliant cracker from outside the area that
halted an Atletico attempted comeback after being awarded a penalty at
the end of the 1ºst half that stopped them dry.



















Atletico had their chances, one as mentioned converted by DIEGO
FORLAN
via a penalty in the 45th min, & the rest stopped by the

Valencia goalkeeper in the 2ºhalf.

Deserved win for Valencia who were the better team, with Atletico

doing its habitual one step forward, two steps back routine. Their minds
- or at least Coach Aguirre´s - seemed to be on next Tuesday
Spanish Cup clash with FC Barcelona, something the SFS frankly can´t

really understand why so much importance over their League aspirations.
