League, known Worldwide as "La Liga", with results, images & scorers.
REAL MADRID hosted the bottom Club OSASUNA after an intense
week that saw its President Calderon resign due to scandals already
mentioned on the posts below.The crowd & the atmosphere was tense,
plus expectant to see how the team would react.
In the end it turned out to be an extremely controversial game with
Osasuna going away with a 3-1 defeat & with a Red card to their player
Jorge who received double yellow for faking penalties, however they both
looked correct. This left Osasuna down with 10 men that allowed Real
Madrid to take over & score a goal towards the end.
Osasuna scored first in the 19th min via NEKOUNAM ( see above)
& were clearly in the driving seat & dominating the match.
Then a goalkeeper mistake by Osasuna was taken by SERGIO
RAMOS in the 50th min to equalize for Real . This & the not called
penalty (another later) frustrated & took away the concentration from
Osasuna which allowed Real Madrid to pounced via HIGUAÍN in the
63rd min from a Robbin pass to take the lead.
With Osasuna down with 10 men, ROBBEN put the nail in the coffin
of Osasuna scoring in the 93rd min. The Dutchmen put in another
notable game tonight, giving goal pass to Higuaín & scoring himself.
In conclusion, a victory & the 3º points for Real, but it was a very
suffered game for Real & very controversial.

they did just that winning second last on the ladder MALLORCA 2-0.

Fantastic game between ATHLETIC DE BILBAO & VALENCIA CF
with the former winning in the last moment 3-2. Bilbao at home are
a very difficult side & never give up in front of their loyal crowd. The
"Lions" were never nevious through the game & in the end their effort

Valencia went ahead first via DAVID VILLA in the 1st min, to see
GABILONDO equalize in the 17th min via a perfect header. Valencia
continued attacking & in the 29th min MORIENTES put Valencia ahead
from a Villa pass. However, Bilbao were in their home & drew via
JAVI MARTINEZ in the 41st min.
The 2ºhalf was end to end stuff to see towards the end of the game a penalty
be rewarded to Bilbao & LLORENTE converted it to give the victory to the
local team.
ALMERIA managed a 1-1 drew against ATLETICO DE MADRID
which is very disappointing for the latter. The string of bad performaces
from Atletico are close to taking them out of the European places on the
ladder. They cling to the 6th place with Malaga breathing on their necks,the
pressure is on Coach Aguirre who is losing points with the Club & the
fan base.
Almeria started scoring first via a defensive & goalkeeper mistake that
allowed UCHE to score in the 6th min. Then Atletico reacted from a set
piece that also saw a defensive error from Almeria that allowed
S.PONGOLLE to equalize in the 21st min. Then Almeria received an
"unjust" Red Card & were left with 10 men. Under this situation Atletico

could not take advantage as Almeria went totally defensive & built a
"wall"
From here & until the end, missed opportunities & a late red card for
At.Madrid midfielder Benegas - again! Almeria should be partly happy &
At.Madrid are sadly sliding, a situation that many cannot really explain.
