VALLADOLID managed to draw 1 - 1 against an inconsistent VALENCIA CF & take a valuable point. Valencia opened the scoring with CISSOKHO in the 14th min, but Valladolid won a penalty in the 63rd min that was converted by VICTOR PEREZ.
ATHLETIC CLUB BILBAO found their play & in doing so calmed the local nerves & possibly saved the "head" of their Coach Bielsa after defeating SEVILLA FC 2 - 1. Bilbao is having a horror season & are being Beverly criticised, the win today gives the team oxygen. The goals came from DE MARCOS in the 27th min & SUSAETA in the 46th min. Sevilla reacted & won a goal which NEGREDO converted from the penalty spot in the 79th min.
REAL MALLORCA lost 2 - 4 to FC BARCELONA in a great game of Football, with Mallorca nearly pulling off a comeback after Barça relaxed in the second half. The saviour for Barça was again Lionel Messi who managed to score in the vital moment to halt the ambitions of the home team.
Barça was three goals up at the end of the first half thanks to XAVI ( 27th min) , MESSI ( 43rd min ) & TELLO ( 44th min). The second half was a different matter as Mallorca played better 6 put Barça on the back foot. PEREIRA scored for Mallorca in the 55th min & CASADESUS a second from a penalty in the 58th min. Just when Mallorca was on a roll & looked like equalizing, LIONEL MESSI pulled a "rabbit out of the hat" & scored in the 70th min. Mallorca never recovered.
City of Madrid derby this afternoon/night between ATLETICO DE MADRID & GETAFE with the home team back to their winning ways with a 2 - 0 final result. Worthy victory that could have been much bigger had Atletico been more accurate with their opportunities.
The two goals for Madrid came from ADRIAN in the 24th min & Turk TURAN in the 42nd min. The second half was even in most part but Atletico missed their numerous goal opportunities.
Tough call for REAL MADRID which visited LEVANTE under rain & with a waterlogged pitch that made it very difficult to play Football. It was not pretty stuff at all, while Real Madrid was without true forwards - injuries - Levante was sticky & physical. So physical that early on CRISTIANO RONALDO received an elbow not seen by the referee that cut open his eyebrow & was substituted half-time. However before that, the Portuguese forward managed to open the scoring in the 21st min.
The second half saw both teams make some tactical changes & in the 61st min Levente equalized via ANGEL. Frustration then crawled in with posts included for Madrid & a missed penalty by Xavi Alonso in the 71st min that surprised by how bad it was taken.
Real Madrid via Coach Mourinho then showed his last card. He put on young MORATA & minutes later headed the winner in the 84th min. The youngster become the hero.
Real Madrid under Mourinho wins for the first-time at the Levante ground. Hard worked victory & three valuable points. Final result 1 - 2.
