SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA 2008/ 09 - ROUND 35 GAMES RESULTS

Good to be back after some rest this weekend. Lets get into the
summary of Round 35 results starting with the 3 games of Saturday
& the 7 matches of today.

























VALENCIA CF who are fighting to secure the last Champions table
place
out-played & ran over REAL MADRID defeating the latter 3-0.
Real Madrid
have their heads now in the future with the 2ºplace
table position secure.The goals from Valencia came from MATA
( 27th min), SILVA (31st min) & BARAJA ( 68th min).


















SEVILLA consolidate their 3ºrd place on the table with a conviencing
3-1 victory Over MALLORCA. The latter scored first via ADURIZ in
the
15th min, but Sevilla took over totally to have KANOUTE score
in the 32nd min, followed by L.FABIANO in the 60th & JESUS NAVAS
in the 76th min

























ATHLETIC DE BILBAO gear up for the Spanish Cup Final this
Wednesday with a 1-0 victory over REAL BETIS that secures their
place in the "Liga" & send Betis near the relegation zone. The goal
for Bilbao came thanks to VELEZ (above) in the 28th min












FC BARCELONA could have secured mathematically the LIGA title
had they won tonight , but VILLAREAL scored in the last minute
to equalize
the final result 3-3. The bad news is the injury to
Andres Iniesta (torn muscle) that cancels him from the Spanish
Cup Final & may also stop him participating in the European Cup
Final.

Barcelona started well with a goal by KEITA in the 11th min, which
spurred on Villareal to equalize via LLORENTE. But Barcelona wanted
to secure the title today & ETO´O scored in the 36th min & ALVES a
third via a free kick in the 45th min. Barça were "blowing" the party
balloons when MATI FERNANDEZ scored Villareal second in the 78th
min & then LLORENTE scored the equalizer in the last moment.
Barça will have to wait until next week to celebrate the "Liga" title.















MALAGA played a boring game against RACING DE SANTANDER
to see ALBERT LUQUE score the winner in the 87th min. Final
Result 1-0
























Another "boring" game with VALLADOLID & last placed NUMANCIA
with a 0-0 draw result. Aranda above missed numerous chances
for Numancia.


















GETAFE
are fighting to stay clear of relegation & managed a big
step forward
tonight with a 3-0 victory over OSASUNA. Goals
came from GRANERO (25th & 50th min) & UCHE (54th min)



















DEPORTIVO
won 1-2 RECREATIVO to get close to the Uefa places.
Recreativo is second last on the table & their future in the 1ºDivision
looks dim. VERDU (16th m) & ALVAREZ (49th m) scored for
Deportivo & COLUNGA (43rd m) for Recreativo.















ALMERIA won REAL SPORTING DE GIJON 3-1 & keeps the
latter in the relegation zone & makes their next games a fight
for survival. Sporting started well scoring first via CARMELO
in the 15th min. But it all fell apart, Almeria reacted with goals
from NIETO (26th m), UCHE (55th m) & PIATTI (91st m).


















A cliff hanger with ATLETICO DE MADRID making a comeback &
winning in the last minute
3-2 ESPANYOL. Atletico now is 1ºpoint
behind Valencia who is 4ºth & with a Champions position, & both
teams play in the next round to decide the last European Cup
place.

Espanyol are fighting to stay out of the relegation zone & started
well
today with goals from NENE ( penalty) in the 37th min &
JARQUE in the
39th m. Then the comeback, DIEGO FORLAN scored
in the 53rd m followed by AGUERO in the 60th & in the last moment
DIEGO FORLAN again to give Atletico the points. Forlan has 27
goals
for the season &
is only one behind Spanish League Top scorer
FC Barcelona Eto ´o
with currently 28 goals.
