back for the Spanish League title. Real Madrid won & closes the gap
with leader FC Barcelona to 4 points & they meet next Saturday at
Madrid in the big Spanish derby that may decide the title.
SEVILLA FC lost 1-3 to REAL MADRID in "topsy turby" game were
one man was the key - RAUL (above). The Real Madrid Captain
scored a HAT TRICK ( 44th, 63rd & 66th min) when Sevilla were
palying there best Football.
Sevilla were dominate in the first half - totally dominate - & scored
first via RENATO in the 15th min. However, the 2ºhalf saw a change
in attitude from Madrid & a drop of form from Sevilla that allowed
Real to get ahead with 3 goals from the "cunning" Raul, admitting
there were Sevilla defensive mistakes.
But Sevilla did´nt give in & the game turned again in their favour
with CAPEL scoring in the 80th min, but MARCELO managed to
score for Madrid in the 91st min to seal the result.
Remarkable performance with no brilliant play but effective for Real
that sets up next Saturday´s match against Barça as the "clash of the
season"
VILLAREAL put chase to Valencia in their attempts to get back into
Champions League positions. They are on course as they defeated
GETAFE 1-2 & put the latter 1ºpoint from the relegation zone
The goals for Villareal came from CAPDEVILA in the 15th min &
LLORENTE (above) in the 42nd min. For Getafe MANU converted
LLORENTE (above) in the 42nd min. For Getafe MANU converted
a penalty converted in the 82nd min
MALLORCA continue its great run of wins with its 2-4 victory away
to RECREATIVO who are second last on the table. Goals from
JURADO, ARANGO, CASTRO & KEITA for Mallorca, with SISI &
CAMUÑAS scoring for Recreativo
ATHLETIC DE BILBAO got more oxygen & jumped higher up the
ladder & away from the "dangerzone" with its 2-1 win over RACING
DE SANTANDER. Bilbao did the work in the 1ºst half with goals
from LLORENTE (above) in the 20th min & LOPEZ in the 41st min.
PINILLOS scored in the 57th min via a penalty for Racing.
Not much to say here, VALLADOLID 0 - OSASUNA 0
ESPANYOL begins its attmpts to save itself & stay in the 1º Division
with a 2-0 victory over REAL BETIS that takes them OUT of the
relegation zone. They know its only a start & that a loss can take
them back, but its a confidence booster & if they continue to play
like today they should do it.
LUIS GARCIA (above) scored in the 3rd min to ease the teams
nerves & ROMAN sealed it in the 83rd min. SFS wishes them luck!
ATLETICO DE MADRID get back into Uefa places (6th), although
not Champions as is the objective, but its a start. The bad news is
that they showed their Dr.Jackell & Mr Hyde personality while
winning REAL SPORTING DE GIJON 3- 1 & sending the latter
into the relegation zone.
Atletico dominated the 1ºst half & were justly rewarded with goals
from FORLAN ( a cracker) in the 20th min, SIMAO in the 40th min
& AGUERO in the 46th min. The last goal was in the 1ºst min of the
2ºhalf & Sporting immediately reacted by pulling one back via
BILIC in the 48th min.
Mysteriously, Atletico deteriorated & "collapsed" to play terribly
& although leading calling for the end of the match. This part of
their play does´nt lead to much confidence for the rest of the
seasons games. There is a serious problem within the team, the fans
will & need to keep their fingers crossed!
