SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA 2008 / 09 - ROUND 32 MID-WEEK THURSDAY GAMES RESULTS

Round 32 of the Spanish League finished tonight with the last 4 games
giving us results & hope for some of the bottom Clubs struggling not to
be pulled in by the relegation "black hole".

















One team that has created its on hole is ATLETICO DE MADRID which
said practically goodbye to Champions & possibly Uefa as well after losing
5-1 to RACING DE SANTANDER. The Madrid team is 7th on the ladder
& the above teams are opening up a gap, in anycase with their play they
don´t deserve to be in Europe. A real disaster that will have earthquake
results in the coming weeks.

The goal scorers for Racing were CHRISTIAN ( above - 8th min), GARAY
(15th min), TCHITE (37th min), MUNITIS (65th min) & ZIGIC ( 86th min)

Atletico managed a consolation goal thanks to a penalty that DIEGO
FORLAN converted in the 61st min & takes his season tally to 22 goals.
A great personel effort that really deserves more, but...

VILLAREAL got back into its winning ways with a good 2-1 victory over

second last placed RECREATIVO who are being sucked into the relegation
"back hole". Scorers for Villareal were LLORENTE in the 39th min with a
brilliant looped goal & CANI in the 67th min. Recreativo got ahead first via
CAMUÑAS in the 1st min, but that is all they really did. Villareal go into 5th

place & are 1º game away from Valencia who are in a Champions League
position.

MALLORCA continue their excellent string of victories & breathe
comfortably at mid-table after their 2-0 win over VALLADOLID.
KEITA scored both of Mallorca´s goals in the 65th & 82nd min

ESPANYOL keep their hopes alive of escaping relegation after defeating
SPORTING DE GIJON 0-3. They are now 1º point away from getting out

of the dangerzone, however Sporting are now 1º point away from getting

in themselves. The three "oxygen" goals for Espanyol came from NENE
in the 24th min, ROMAN in the 73rd min & CALLEJON in the 75th min
