The 40th min "screamer" goal from Pabon for Valencia CF possibly saved the job of his Coach Dujik as the team won 0 - 1 away to Getafe. The visitors did well to then keep out the locals which created chances but failed to convert. Important win for Valencia which will breathe easier this week although they still needed to improve, a lot.
Celebration at Atletico de Madrid which had an open day for all the fans around Spain with activities starting early. With a packed "Vicente Calderon Stadium" the team put on a show of intense Football to comfortably win Athletic Club Bilbao 2 - 0. The goals came from David Villa in the 32nd min & Diego Costa in the 40th min. The home side could have scored more but failed to finish. Bilbao went down to 10 men in the 74th min when Moran was sent off, as habitual between these two Clubs, the intensity was maximum.
Another win which keeps Atletico 1ยบ point behind ladder leaders FC Barcelona.
Levante lost in the last moment to Granada 0 - 1. The home team failed a penalty by El Zhar which was stopped by Granada goalie Roberto who was crucial in his teams victory. Roberto stopped everything fired at him throughout the game & was the "man of the match". In extra-time Granada player Piti scored the winner to give his team the three points & everyone then remembered the important work of the already mentioned goalkeeper.
Intense Andalusia regional derby between Malaga FC & Real Betis. Both Clubs are needed of points with Betis Coach under extreme pressure to improve. There was plenty of action, a serious scare - Betis defender Perquis was rushed off in ambulance after a clash of heads -, lots of pressure & goals. The first goal came from Santa Cruz with a 13th min header for Malaga which was equalized in the 32nd min by Verdu for Betis. In the 66th min Eliseu put Malaga back ahead but Betis equalized a minute later by Figueras. The emotion was taken to the end for the match when Malaga got the winner that lifted the roof off the Stadium, Samuel scored in the 93rd min. Football can be harsh & unfair as Betis experienced. Final result 3 - 2.
