Villarreal hosted Madrid Getafe & managed a hard earned 1 - 0 victory. A defensive Getafe thinking more in the return match managed to keep at bay Villarreal right up to the 85th min when Bruno scored from a free-kick. Relief for the home side as they earlier missed a series of obvious goal opportunities. Getafe will be disappointed after their effort, but they are still alive for the 2º leg.
FC Barcelona won 1 - 0 Atletico de Madrid in a competitive & intense match that was broken by a 85th min penalty by Atletico defender Juanfran on Barça midfielder Busquets. It was Messi who converted for the goal after goalie Oblak got his hand on the ball but the Argentine got the rebound.
Equal game with both teams changing from being the protagonists while creating their respective goalscoring opportunities. In the end "a detail" was enough to tip the balance.
Both teams meet again next week for the return 2º leg with the tie still wide out, however with Barça currently the having the upper-hand.
Malaga FC hosted Athletic Club Bilbao & finished in 0 - 0 drew result. Both teams had little goal opportunities as their tactical set-ups finished equalizing each other out. The tie will be settled at Bilbao in the return 2º leg match next week.
Tomorrow the last scheduled 1º leg Spanish Cup Quarter- final game between RCD Espanyol & Sevilla FC.
