REAL ZARAGOZA watched how a wounded ATLETICO DE MADRID managed to come back to life & draw the game in the 92th min via youngster IBRAHIMA, & with an Atletico team with just 10 men. We all know by now that Atletico is not a team for anyone with heart problems.
Zaragoza got ahead early in the 7th min via JAROSIK & had the match under their control with very tight marking that was physical & frustrating for the visitors. The constant fouls, especially on José Antonio Reyes was to lead to the Atletico player taking "justice" with his own hands & be sent of with a Red card in the 70th min. Very disappointing from a player we all thought was back to his best thanks to his "clear" head, but tonight he lost it & further put his team under stress. However, Ibrahima who come on for Assuncao in the latter part of the 2ºhalf saved his team from defeat with his late equalizer.
Real Zaragoza will be really disappointed with this result & game, while Atletico although glad will be worried by the return of old playing vices & the lack of discipline from Reyes.
MALAGA let slip a victory over last placed XEREZ, who won their first away match this season 2-4. The game finished with both teams down to 10 men each due to red cards but Malaga felt the negative effects more with Xerez over running Malaga with three late goals.
MOMO put Xerez ahead first with a penalty in the 5th min, that wasn´t equalled until the 40th min by Malaga player DUDA which was followed by another in the 55th min via VALDO. Malaga was in control & with a numerical advantage until they too suffered a loss of a man in the 70th min. From here it went terribly wrong for the home team with goals from Xerez player MOMO for his second in the 72th min, GIODA in the 76th min & ORELLANA in the 94th min.
OSASUNA played a draw against GETAFE with a final result 0-0. Not much to add except both failed the little chances they managed to construct.
MALLORCA gave a Football lesson to SPORTING DE GIJÓN with a 3-0 win that puts them in 5th place & with a Champions place a possibility. ALVAREZ scored first in the 12th min, & it wasn´t until the 75th min with a second from VICTOR, that the visitors lost all gas to see a third scored in the 89th min via WEBO.
TOQUERO (pictured) had his day & gave his team their only two goals ( 27th & 36th min) for their win. ATHLETIC DE BILBAO won 2-0 VALLADOLID to keep the later still in their positional crisis.
ESPANYOL drew 0-0 against VILLAREAL, but the best players were the goalkeepers of both sides - Kameni & Diego Lopez - who stopped everything thrown at them. There was chances, posts & good play that should have been prized with goals.
