Madrid Club Rayo Vallecano hosted Sevilla FC & lost 0 - 1. Another heavy blow to Rayo Vallecano which is in the relegation zone, & on top today they could not do much more with Sevilla FC down to 10 men after Iborra was sent off. Sevilla FC got their only goal & the eventual winner in the 57th min when Coke scored. From here onwards the visitors defended their advantage.
Real Betis lost 0 - 2 to Athletic Club Bibao & their relegation nightmares continues. Today the saying "...when things go wrong, everything goes wrong" became as real as Football life itself. Betis is under extreme pressure & the nerves turn into frustration & despair quickly. Real Betis had reasons to be unhappy today as the referee did not call to their favour two clear penalties. The frustration that exploded from all this was two red cards ( Perquis & L.Reyes) that left Real Betis with 9 men.
Athletic Club played to their game plan & their two goals came from a 34th min penalty scored by Muniain, & the 81st min goal by Guillermo.
Valencia CF won 2 - 1 Granada in an entertaining game of Football. The action all occurred in the 2º half after the 1ºst 45 minutes were very even with little opportunities to both sides. The first goal went to Granada after Piti scored in the 47th min, but Valencia lifted & equalized in the 63rd min through Alcacer who had come on from Keita & the winner came in the 90th min thanks to Vezo.
Valencia get their victory in the last moment & continues improving week by week.
Surprise result with Osasuna defeating Atletico de Madrid 3 - 0. Atletico once again failed to convert the opportunity to stay on top of the Liga classification table & now falls behind Real Madrid which has opened up a 3 point. The situation gets more complicated because next week Atletico de Madrid plays Real Madrid in Liga & another loss here will put the City rivals ahead by 6 points.
Osasuna put up a brilliant first half were they did all the damage. Atletico de Madrid had their minds on Real Madrid & left on the bench regulars like Miranda, Koke & Arda. All three Osasuna goals came in the first half & all were Atletico de Madrid defensive mistakes. Cejudo opened the scoring in the 6th min, the second came from a "power driver" from Armenteros in the 21st min & the third in the 41st min from Roberto Torres.
In the second half Atletico de Madrid improved & put on Koke & Arda to attempt to save the night but Osasuna held out all the Atletico attempts to earn themselves 3 valuable points. The big winner after Round 25 of Spanish Liga was Real Madrid which opens up a 3 point gap over FC Barcelona & Atletico de Madrid.
