League with FC Barcelona keeping its 5 point gap over Real Madrid
at the Top of the classification table.
One of the Best Center Forwards to have gone through Real Madrid,
Dutchman RUUD VAN NISTELROOY, was given a standing ovation
minutes before the Real Madrid vs Malaga game as he said goodbye
to the fans before flying off to Hamburg to join Stuttgart.
Those same fans witnessed a REAL MADRID 2 - MALAGA 0 victory
that included two goals from CRISTIANO RONALDO (36th & 38th
min),along with a Red Card that the Portugues star received after
"slapping" a Malaga player in the face while fending him off midway
the 2ºhalf. A sending off that was "over exaggerated" as a yellow
card would have been more appropriate: Ronaldo missed next
weeks Liga match
Other details worth mentioning is the great work from Sergio Ramos,
Albiol & Guti who showed magic before been substituted in the 2º half,
& the worrying form of Kaká & Benzema, the latter is not taking his
opportunity to show that he deserves to start ahead of Higuaín.
GETAFE defeated a terrible ATLETICO DE MADRID 1-0 to make
Club History with the best start after 19 Rounds & defeating it´s
City rival for the first time in their home stadium since being in
1º Division. MANU DE MORAL scored the winner for Getafe in the
38th min.
The only thing left to say about this game is that Atletico is
currently a "basket-case".
VILLAREAL defeated REAL ZARAGOZA 4-2 after the latter
attempted a comeback that did not happen. The goals for Villareal
came via CAPDEVILLA (3rd min), NILMAR (19th min), ROSSI
(25th min) & IBAGAZA (87th min). For Zaragoza ELISEU scored
in the 75th min & LATIFA lifted some hope with the second in the
82nd min.
XEREZ watched how OSASUNA got the victory towards the end with a
1-2 scoreline. Osasuna defender MONREAL put Osasuna ahead early in
the 9th min to see BERMEJO scored for Xerez in the 22nd min to
equalize, but CAMUÑAS grabbed the winer for Osasuna in the 83rd
min.
ESPANYOL managed to equalize thanks to OSVALDO in the 89th
min after VARELA scored first for MALLORCA in the 80th. A tough
match with the points being shared. Final score 1-1.
SPORTING DE GIJON lost 0-1 against RACING DE SANTANDER
after GEIJO scored in the 4th min. Sporting played better &
deserved more, but Football works in mysterious ways.
Another mystery was the TENERIFE 0 - VALENCIA CF 0 scoreline.
Valencia played well but could not finish off the job. They will be
disappointed as they let Real Madrid open a further gap on them in
the ladder.
