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

The Spanish League & Round 32 goes mid-week with two games played
tonight. The rest will be spread out over the next two upcoming nights.

REAL MADRID came back from the dead - they nearly lost the 3 points -
to win in the very last moment GETAFE 3-2. They are now 3º points
behind League leaders FC Barcelona who play their game tomorrow in
a difficult clash against third placed Sevilla FC. Now the pressure is on
Barça not to fail!










GONZALO HIGUAIN saved his team with two goals, the last being the
winner in the 93rd min. He is without doubt the man of the match & if
Real Madrid go on to over take Barça, the man that took them there.

Before the crazy last 15 mins, Getafe got ahead via SOLDADO in the 9th min,
to later see HIGUAIN equalize in the 45th min. Then Getafe got ahead again
in the 64th min via ALBIN & Real were looking real bad. However, Real
managed to equalize in the 86th min via a brilliant free-kick by GUTI, but
there is more!

Pepe in the 88th min fouled in the goal area & that earned him a Red Card &
a penalty to Getafe. The miracle happened when Casquero of Getafe missed
the penalty in the 89th & the winning goal. Real Madrid down with 10 men
managed to pull the victory in the 93rd min when HIGUAIN scored a "beauty"
to bring the house down, grab the 3º points & keep Real Madrid alive in their
chase for the League title. Absolutely increidible that will be the talk of the
town here & at Barcelona tomorrow.

















The other match saw last placed NUMANCIA go further into the
relegation hole after losing 1-2 to ATHLETIC DE BILBAO who have
their own problems in avoiding the dangerzone. This victory give
Athletic some oxygen as they prepare their upcoming Spanish Cup Final
against Barça.

Numancia got ahead first via CISMA in the 9th min & Athletic managed
to equalize thanks to TOQUERA (above) in the 29th min. Athletic then
took control & managed to score a second & eventually the winner in the
48th min thanks to LLORENTE

The game was a tough affair with 8 yellow cards & 2 red as both were
playing for their 1º Division lives. In this case & this match, Athletic came away
with the victory. There can only be one winner. Tweet
