The Spanish League continued with Round 33 tonight with six games played with results that sets up an exciting finish run between the Top teams & the bottom sides who wish to avoid relegation. Here are the results & scorers of tonights Spanish Soccer games:

REAL MADRID defeated 2-0 VALENCIA CF to give them the 3 points & close the gap to just 1 point with reference to Spanish League leaders & arch rivals FC Barcelona.

The match saw a home team go out strong, fast & furious from the first minute with numerous shots at goal & complete dominantion of the ball & match. The reward had to come & it did in the 24th min when Guti gave HIGUAIN a superb pass which the latter fired & scored his 25th goal this season. From here Valencia CF began to improve & recomposed themselves to take the initiative & create chances until the end of the first half.

The 2ºhalf was mostly Valencia in a more aggressive mood with Real Madrid failing to find the second goal to "kill off" the match & find some ease in their play. Valencia began to achieve opportunities with a notable near miss by David Silva that could have changed the course of the game. But in the 78th min Marcelo dribbled pass the Valencia defence & passed a ball into the goal square where CRISTIANO RONALDO was waiting to fire home the second & all calming goal for his side. Special mention to Guti & Marcelo who put in fine games tonight.

A win for Madrid who ain´t giving up the Liga title just as yet.

MALAGA & VALLADOLID played out a 0-0 draw with chances that were not converted. Both are still with problems with the 2º Division threat still hanging over their heads.

DEPORTIVO & ALMERIA also played out a 0-0 draw with Deportivo now notching up 8 straight games without a win.

The chain of draws continued with ATHLETIC DE BILBAO finishing in a 0-0 result against REAL ZARAGOZA. The latter have big problems as they lag at the bottom of the table.

TENERIFE is fighting to avoid relegation & managed to defeat at home 3-2 GETAFE. The goals for Tenerife came from their "Man of The Match", NINO, who scored a HAT TRICK ( 30th, 69th & 76th min). For Getafe PEDRO LEON scored in the 10th min & CASQUERO in the 75th min. Vital victory for Tenerife!

XEREZ are certainly fighting with "tooth & nail" to stay in first Division & are a tough act to beat as RACING found out with the late 2-2 draw result. The goals for Xerez came via ORELLANA in the 6th min & VICTOR SANCHEZ in the 72nd min who managed the draw with his goal. For Racing TCHITE scored his teams two goals 43rd & 57th min.
