Malaga FC hosted Deportivo A Coruña & the end final result of a 1 - 1 draw doesnt do much for each. Malaga was lucking for the 3 points to give them some chance of the Euro ladder positions, while Deportivo needs desperately points to get out off the relegation zone. The goalscorers were Amrabat for Malaga in the 46th min, & Riera in the 59th min for Depor.
Vital victory by Almeria 2 - 0 over Eibar with the 3 points gained taking them out momentarily from the relegation zone of the La Liga ladder. The goals came from Thievy in the 8th min & Verza in the 68th min when he converted a penalty.
Eibar drops & now must be weary of avoiding slipping into danger if they are not careful.
Sevilla FC keeps looking towards the European ladder positions ( & even Champions League awaiting tomorrows Valencia CF result) winning 2 - 0 Madrid Club Rayo Vallecano. The goals came from Iborra in the 17th min & Carriço in the 43rd min converting a penalty. Rayo Vallecano had goal opportunities but - as with all season - was not effective enough upfront.
Celta de Vigo pushed & nearly put "La Liga" title definately away from the Real Madrid grasp after palying a fabulous match but losing 2 - 4. Real Madrid scrapped through this encounter & mantains the Club in second place & just 2 points away from current Liga leaders FC Barcelona.
Celta showed iniciative from the kick-off & troubled a "weak" Real Madrid defence that was not coordinated with their midfield at all. Young Illaramendi will be again put under the microscope as he was not up to the occasion , while Isco is going through a minor slump in form.
Celta opened & surprised the visitors in the 9th min through a Nolito goal, but Real Madrid answered with a Toni Kroos equalizer in the 15th min. It would be the trend for Real Madrid , the individual talents of their top players would save the day on repeated occasions tonight.
Real Madrid Mexican forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez again started & took his opportunity in big style. This is his week & he put Real Madrid ahead with his teams second goal in the 23rd min. But Celta untroubled equalized in the 28th min when Santi Mina split the Real Madrid defence & scored. Celta kept attacking & against the grain James Rodriguez whipped a ball that touched a Celta defender in the 44th min to put Real Madrid back ahead & go off half time with some tranquility.
The second half was Celta mostly attacking & putting the visitors continously on the back foot. It was looking more like Celta would score for a draw & wipe clear the Liga title hopes for Real, when Chicharito controlled a Ramos pass in the 73rd min & scored the fourth & the sealer.
Real Madrid Coach Ancelotti put on Pepe placing him with Marcelo in the midfield to secure the result & limit the Celta attacks. Real managed to do so & took the 3 points from a game that saw Celta perform better. Close call for Real Madrid who remains "alive" in Liga
