SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA 2008/ 09 - WEDNESDAY MID-WEEK GAMES RESULTS

Round 32 of the Spanish League continued tonight with its mid-week fixture
with four great games played, tomorrow the last four matches will be decided.

















VALENCIA CF are back in form at the right moment as they have their
eyes firmly set on cementing a Champions League table position. They
won tonight 1-2 REAL BETIS & have taken back 4th place from Atletico
de Madrid who play tomorrow.

However there is another "fight" in the Valencia camp, Spanish
International striker DAVID VILLA is giving chase to Barça´s current
League goal scoring leader Samuel Eto´o & tonight scored his teams two
goals
. The 65th & 79th min "bull-eyes" take his personal season tally to
25 goals, just 2 behind Eto ´o. Both Valencia & FC Barcelona meet next
Saturday in Round 33 & it is going to be a match not to miss.

For Betis there only goal was scored by RICARDO OLIVEIRA in the
87th min to give them the consolidation prize.


















MALAGA
jump to 5th position & have a Uefa place with their solid 2-3
comeback over lower side OSASUNA. Malaga got ahead first via
APOÑO with a penalty in the 4th min, but Osasuna pulled it back
with two goals from PLASIL in the 17th min & NEKOUNAM in the
32th min. Then in the 2ºhalf Malaga began its comeback with pure
dominance & two goals from LOLO in the 73rd min & SALVA in the
77th min
















DEPORTIVO
also have Uefa as an objective & got closer tonight with a
great victory over ALMERIA 2-0. Their goals came via VERDU in the
49th & LASSAD in the 68th min.

Deportivo are 8th on equal points with Villareal & Atletico who play
tomorrow.
























FC BARCELONA
may have Valencia on Saturday & Chelsea next
Tuesday
but they are at maximum level & "ran over" SEVILLA FC
tonight 4-0. It could have been more had it not been for Sevilla goalie &
that Coach Guardiola began resting players. By the way, Messi & Puyol
did´nt play.

From the start it was all dominance, touch Football & 1-2-3s that ended in
fabulous goals. INIESTA started the party in the 2nd min with a superb
shot, then ETO´O scored in the 16th to take his personal season tally to
27 goals.

In the 2ºhalf it continued, XAVI scored in the 49th min & later HENRY
in the 54th min, to then see the side "slow" down a wee-bit, something
Sevilla would have appreciated.

Barça are not cracking under the Real Madrid pressure, for the moment,
& maintain their 6ºpoint advantage. Everything is pointing to the big
Derby at Madrid to happen soon ( beginning of May) as its going to
be THE game!
