MALAGA FC notched up its fourth win in a row with a grand performance & 3 - 1 victory over LEVANTE. Malaga new signing JAVIER SAVIOLA scored his first goal in the 26th min which was later equalized by Levante player MICHEL with a fabulous individual run & power-driver in the 46th min.
Levante looked for the win & left spaces to which Malaga exploited & JOAQUIN scored the in the 58th min & PORTILLO the third in the 93rd min.
Cissokho |
VALENCIA CF needed a win & although they put in an average & not pretty match they managed a 2 - 1 victory over CELTA DE VIGO. FEGHOULI put Valencia ahead early in the 3rd min & KROHN-DEHLI equalized for Levante in the 15th min.
Celta had chances & made mistakes & in one of those defensive slips CISSOKHO headed a free in the 50th min that was the winner. Three points for Valencia which was the main objective with pretty Football that could wait for another day.
Messi |
Lionel Messi started on the bench but came on in the second half in place of Thiago to became the best player for Barça. GETAFE hosted FC BARCELONA & lost 1 - 4 & it could have been more had the wood-work not stopped Thiago & goalkeeper Moya of Getafe kept some more balls out of the back of the net.
ADRIANO got the first for Barça in the 31st min & then MESSI got the second via a penalty in the 74th min & later another in the 78th min. Getafe got a consolation goal that was an own-goal by MASCHERANO & the fourth came for Barça in the 90th min by DAVID VILLA.
FC Barcelona grab top spot of the ladder & already have signalled that they are as strong as last season with all the intentions of going all the way in all competitions.
Sevilla-Real Madrid |
Not the case with REAL MADRID which lost 1 - 0 to SEVILLA FC & is already 8 points behind Barcelona. The points gap is very significant & some brave observers comment that Real Madrid may have already lost this seasons Liga title. The truth is that Real Madrid played terribly & their ongoing defensive problems at set plays allowed Sevilla to score their only & winning goal via TROCHOWSKI in the 2nd min.
The only Real Madrid player with some danger was Cristiano Ronaldo who was stopped by Sevilla goalie Palop & Modric who came on in the second half & hit the post. Sergio Ramos had a golden opportunity but missed a clear header.
Good match by Sevilla which was serious, intense & very aggressive with Navas a constant threat all game. For Real Madrid Ozil is lost & non-existent, Di Maria loses his head & Marcelo is also out of sync. In a nutshell, Real Madrid have serious problems & a loss to Manchester City in Champions next Tuesday could open up a "can of worms"
