SPANISH FOOTBALL | LA LIGA ROUND 15 SUNDAY RESULTS

Spanish Football action today with the remaining 4 games of Round 15 of La Liga scheduled. Here are all the final results along with the goalscorers.

Madrid Club Rayo Vallecano lost to Malaga FC 1 - 2. Both Clubs need desperately points, but the loss of Rayo sends them momentarily into the bottom end of the Liga ladder. Rayo started well scoring first through Javi Guerra in the 5th min, but things then went down hill for them. Malaga equalized through Carles in the 58th min, then Cop got the winner in the 86th min. 

Eibar hosted Valencia CF & managed a 1 - 1 draw. Eibar will be unhappy as the equalizer came late in the 84th min & it was an own goal by Junca. Earlier in the 44th min Enrich put Eibar ahead & had Valencia controlled. 

Valencia under new Coach Neville still looks "lost" & Neville himself commented that he knows he is only just an intern Coach until the Club finds another candidate. Not good times at Valencia where the problem could be more an "office" issue than "field". 

Atletico de Madrid managed a suffered 2 - 1 victory over Athletic Club Bilbao. The win makes Atletico joint Liga leaders with FC Barcelona, important 3 points gained tonight. 

Bilbao did not make things easy, they had their chances & had many times At. Madrid against the ropes. Ath. Bilbao got ahead first through Laporte in the 28th min. From here Atletico had to reach within & pull out team character & inner-team strength to overcome the determined visitors.

Saul equalized for Atletico de Madrid in the 46th min, & the winner came through an extraordinary goal from Griezmann in the 66th min that blew the roof off the stadium. 

Surprise - or not surprise - result of Round 15, the 1 - 0 victory by Villarreal over Real Madrid. Missed opportunity for Real Madrid to catch up with current joint Liga leaders FC Barcelona & Atletico de Madrid, now 5 points away.

A loss that will shake again the Madrid Club & raise questions along with ongoing doubts. Fairly clear at Villarreal which had a game plan & stuck to it, with the prize coming early in the 7th min when Roberto Soldado scored. Villarreal have more opportunities in the 1 st half, but Real Madrid settled going into the 2º half.

From here, till the end, Real Madrid missed their opportunities & in Football if you forgive too much you lose.
