trap. The Madrid team lost the match in the 95th min to a penalty
that leaves them dangling at the bottom of the table. The Club has
enter a worrying spiral that fans hope they can pull themselves out
off.

SERGIO AGUERO put Atletico ahead with a brilliant individual goal
in the 3rd min, but slowly Deportivo pulled back the game to their
advantage when COLOTTO equalized in the 20th min. Both teams
then were fairly equal & when everyone thought it would finish with
shared points, Atletico defender Pablo makes a penalty that
GUARDADO converted in the LAST moment. Final result 2-1 to
Deportivo. A SFS question - how can you convince Aguero to stay at
Atletico after seeing this - again?

At the opposite band of the spectrum, SEVILLA FC travelled to
TENERIFE & continued on their merry way with a 1-2 win that
could have been more had they not taken the foot off the
accelerator. In form PEROTTI scored first for Sevilla FC in the
31st min followed by RENATO in the 48th min. The consolidation
goal for Tenerife came via NINO in the 75th min.

REAL MADRID had Raul starting on the bench again with Drenthe
getting a run in the midfield, to end up winning 1-0 RACING DE
SANTANDER with a goal from HIGUAÍN. Real Madrid dominated a
fairly ordinary Racing that gave Madrid a serious scare late in the
game when Canales scored & was disallowed for an off-side that
was questioned. The same occured with Benzema who had his
goal disallowed in the 2ºhalf for off-side as well.
However, Real Madrid still look lost on the field & out of place.

However, Real Madrid still look lost on the field & out of place.
Their defence also looked sloppy & raised the whistles of the home
crowd throughout the match. Overall, a sour victory with the only
sweet element being the 3 points, but they still do not bring on
confidence.

ATHLETIC DE BILBAO drew 1-1 with FC BARCELONA in an intense,
physical & exciting end to end game. At.Bilbao are always difficult
with their home crowd cheering them on & they put in a great

2º half after DANI ALVES put Barça ahead in the 53rd min from a
fabulous Xavi pass. But Bilbao are a tough nut & substitute TOQUERA
brough the roof down when he equalized in the 62nd min. It could

have gone more Barça´s way as they failed to put in a bag full
of opportunities, to which Bilbao had few & were more effective
with their "valuable" goal.
Barça now passes top ladder spot to Real Madrid (1 point more) who
will meet each other next week in the "BIG CLASSIC", but before its
Inter Milan on Tuesday. A tough week!
