2ºhalf starting with DAVID VILLA (54th m), PABLO HERNANDEZ

Almeria looked early as if they would go far when Mbami hit the post
in the 11th min, but Valencia took the three points!














VILLAREAL needed a desperate win & managed to get it against last
placed MALAGA with a 2-1 result. NILMAR (above) scored first for
Villareal in the 26th min to see Malaga equalize via LUQUE in the 45th
min. But Villareal maintained calm with their play to go ahead via a
free kick from CAPDEVILA that sealed things up.




















GETAFE won ATHLETIC DE BILBAO 2-0 with disciplined & ordered
play that injects them with confidence. The goals did´nt come until the
60th min when SOLDADO scored, followed by PAREJO who converted
a penalty in the 71st min. Getafe Coach Michael had been questioned &
today managed to shut a few mouths.
























OSASUNA will be kicking themselves tonight after allowing RACING DE
SANTANDER to equalize in extra-time (95th min) when ARANA brought
the house down. Earlier in the 51st min PANDIANI put Osasuna ahead to
see that effort fizz out at the end. Result 1-1 draw

followed by COSTA in the 76th & MENDUJANIN in the 88th min.

TENERIFE managed to get away with the three points after defeating
XEREZ 1-0 in a toughly fought out clash between these lower placed
sides. ALFARO scored the winner in the 74th min.

FC BARCELONA stamped its authority on "La Liga" with a 6-1 victory
over REAL ZARAGOZA. Barça shut the critics after their Champions
League loss to Ribin Kazan last Tuesday in the best way; a demolition
job on Zaragoza.

The man of the match was an outstanding KEITA who scored a HAT-
TRICK & gave goal passes to the others. IBRAHIMOVIC scored twice
including a great free kick & MESSI got back on the scoring sheet.
For Zaragoza the consolation goal came from JORGE LOPEZ when
everything was already more than settled.

Great win & awesome demonstration of power. Tweet
