Crowd turned angry at ATLETICO DE MADRID Coach Aguirre
after ATHLETIC DE BILBAO handed them a painfull 2-3 defeat

Atletico defender Dominguez in the 50th min & then scored himself
in the 66th min.

Atletico managed a cosmetic late goal by DIEGO FORLAN from an
Aguero pass in the 91st min. Conclusion, worrying times ahead for
Atletico!

cancelled out by a brave & gutsy comeback from ESPANYOL who
are fighting to get out of the relegation zone. The comeback began
with ROMAN in the 62th min & a last moment goal from PAREJA
in the 95th min. Almeria wont be happy to see the victory slip
away. Result 2-2 draw

to take their team to a 2-3 victory.

SAMUEL ETO´O, the leading Spanish League goalscorer opened things
with his 44th min goal from a Messi pass.

Then Osasuna reacted & surprised Barça with iniciative that payed off with

However, then the Barça stars did the job. XAVI equalized in the 80th min &
LEO MESSI put in a brilliant goal to clinch the victory in the 84th min. This
is Barça´s 15th straight win, & they are currently unstoppable.
