The Spanish Football - Soccer - League (La Liga) celebrated 6 games tonight as the mid-week schedule & action continues; with still two more games to b played tomorrow.
FC BARCELONA defeated 2-0 OSASUNA but were pushed to limits by a competitive visitor who had clear chances in the 1st half. So much so, that Coach Guardiola reacted substituting Henry for Pedro at the start of the 2ºhalf & it seemed to work.It was a Pedro action that allowed IBRAHIMOVIC to finally score in the 72nd min even if it wasn´t estetically pleasing. From here Barça slowly gained back its authority & BOJAN sentenced in the 88th min. FC Barcelona take back top spot in the classification table with Real Madrid to play tomorrow its game.
VILLAREAL drew its game against TENERIFE away 2-2, & allowed the home team to rise from the dead & nearly take the game. Villareal dominated throughout & NILMAR scored first in the 46th min to put the visitors ahead. From here the home side turned things around with two quick goals by NINO (60th min) & CULEBRAS (76th min) which rocked Villareal. But ROSSI saved Villareal in the 88th min to equalize & allow his side to take a point. 
ALMERIA continue with their winning ways & defeated REAL ZARAGOZA 1-0 with goal by UCHE in the 61st min. A disputed game of Football with chances that will leave Zaragoza with some frustration in their body.
Two teams fighting for 1º Division survival, VALLADOLID & ESPANYOL, finished in a 0-0 draw with both behaving on the the field conservative & not thinking at risking at all. The cost of a loss are just too high for both at this stage.
RACING DE SANTANDER also struggling in the lower classification levels were brave & showed "grit" to keep at bay REAL MALLORCA with a 0-0 draw. Lots of chances in an intereting match that unfortunately finished without goal.
VALENCIA CF won 1-0 MALAGA thanks to the solitary goal from DAVID VILLA in the 13th min. Valencia CF were far better tonight but could not manage to break away from Malaga who nearly equalized if not for the Valencia goalkeeper Cesar who saved his side. A win for Valencia, with a scoreline that they gladly take & along with it the 3 points
Tomorrow more mid-week Liga action with 2 games:
Getafe - Real Madrid
At Madrid - At Bilbao
