SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA 2008/09 - ROUND 17 SUNDAY GAMES RESULTS

Todays Round 17 Sunday games have given fans relatively low scores,
however with debuts, surprises & last minute comebacks. Here is a brief
summary of games, scores & scorers.



















REAL MADRID hosted VILLAREAL & put on from the start their
two new signings, HUNTELAAR & LASANA DIARRA. Both played
well, Huntelaar nearly scored & contributed to their teams 1- 0
victory. A vital win which gives them 3 points as they begin the difficult
task
of attempting to catch up to leader & rival FC Barcelona who has
a 12 point gap lead.
























While the new signings need more games & rhythm, ROBBEN is
on fire & blitzed in the first half. So much so that he scored a brilliant
outside shot goal to give Real Madrid the victory tonight in the 31st
min.

The second half had another saviour, IKER CASILLAS secured the

victory for Real with brilliant & amazing saves. They can kiss his glooves.

Hard days work for Real Madrid tonight, but the objective has been

gained: the 3 points.


















RECREATIVO won 3-1 NUMANCIA to jump out of the relegation zone,
but they were lucky as Numancia failed TWO penalties. The scorers for
Recreativo were, JAVI FUEGO ; CAMUÑAS & AITOR. The scorer for
Numancia was BRIT ( who failed earlier a penalty) in the last min.




















MALAGA
took advantage of a injury stricken SPORTING to win
by the solitary goal scored by LOLO in the 33rd min. Final score
1-0, & deserved win to Malaga















Ex Real Madrid goalscoring leyend, Mexican Hugo Sanchez (above)
started his new carreer in Spanish Football as ALMERIA Coach with
a 1-0 victory over REAL BETIS. However, Almeria were lucky as
Real Betis hit the post twice & played better. But CORONA´s goal
