after the Xmas week break with three top matches.
VALENCIA CF played host to ESPANYOL in a rough & tumble
game that saw it solved & won by the home team in the very last
moment by ZIGIC (above). Earlier in the 77th min Villa had hit the
"woodwork" & signalled the path for a draw, but luck & persistence
paided off for Valencia, just!. Final score 1-0
Celebration atmosphere at "Camp Nou" as FC BARCELONA showed
off their 6 piece silverware to the home crowd before their game
against VILLAREAL. The "vibe" was positive when PEDRO put
Barça ahead early in the 7th min after Henry hit the post. But the
party finished there!
Villareal slowly got back & exploited a Barça side without Iniesta,
Messi & its African midfielders on "African Cup" duties to take back
the match & eventually equalize via FUSTER in the 50th min.
It could have gone really wrong for Barça had the referee called
an apparent penalty on Villareal player Nilmar that would have
possibly poured more cold water over the "celebration" night.
Final result, & for Barça lucky at that, a 1-1 draw that gives arch
rival Real Madrid a chance to close the classification points gap
tomorrow if they win.
ATLETICO DE MADRID met a stronger theoritical SEVILLA FC
team tonight & sinned by not taking its chances; but destiny had
a surprise for everyone up its sleeve.
Atletico forward DIEGO FORLAN for example had > 4 clear
opportunities that frustrated everyone & he finally managed
& converted indirectly with an own goal by Sevilla FC
defender Dragutinovic in the 48th min to equalize for Atletico.
Earlier RENATO had put Sevilla ahead in the 44th min after
Atletico had dominated.
But the best was still to come in the 2ºhalf. Firstly Sevilla went
a surprise for everyone up its sleeve.

But the best was still to come in the 2ºhalf. Firstly Sevilla went
down to 10 men & created a defensive wall that was to drive
the visiting team in thinking towards securing a draw. But against
all odds, in the last seconds of the game in extra-time ANTONIO
LOPEZ headed a Simao free kick to give Atletico the win & a very
needed victory that tasted like a final of the European Cup. The
stadium & the Atletico bench virtually fell apart with joy & hugs as
they could not imagine beforehand the possibility of a win.
Final score: 2-1
