Round 6 kicked off with the Friday Night game between Real Betis & Malaga FC. The final score 1 - 0 to Betis with a goal header from Joaquin in the 24th min. Malaga was not happy with the referee decisions as they claimed a penalty not called.
Eibar hosted Real Sociedad & won 2 - 0. Good match from both but the luck seemed to be on the side of the locals. Goals from Bebe in the 56th min & an own goal from Real Sociedad midfielder Illaramendi in the 65th min. Pedro Leon missed a penalty for Eibar early in the match.
FC Barcelona travelled to Real Sporting de Gijon without Messi who is injured. Barça did fine without the Argentinian astro winning 0 - 5. FC Barcelona was superior to Gijon & was even more so after Sporting de Gijon went down to 10 men in the 2º half when Lora was sent off with a red card. Goals fell in the following order:
- Luis Suarez 28th min
- Rafinha 31st min
- Neymar 80th min
- Arda Turan 84th min
- Neymar 87th min
Athletic Club Bilbao defeated Sevilla FC 3 - 1. Its the 4th straight win for Bilbao which are on a roll. Bilbao deserved the win as Sevilla FC were below past performances. Their only goal came from on-loan player Nasri in the 54th min. The Bilbao goals came from San Jose in the 25th min, Balenziaga in the 65th min & a penalty coverted by Aduriz in the 89th min.
Las Palmas drew 2 - 2 to Real Madrid in a very entertaining match. Las Palmas do put forward a very confident Football style. Touch Football which is pleasing to the eye & very effective in execution as they took their limited chances.
Real Madrid on the other hand created multiple goal occasions & missed the majority, something they later paid for as the Madrid Club could not shut the match. Las Palmas comeback twice with a lax Real Madrid defensive line when they were ahead.
Cristiano Ronaldo was taken off in the 70th min after the Real Madrid second goal & his face was a picture, more so after Las Palmas scored the equalizer.
The goals came in the following order:
- Asensio 33rd min, 0 - 1
- Tana 37th min, 1 - 1
- Benzema 66th min, 1 - 2
- Araujo 84th min , 2 - 2
Great result for Las Palmas which was rewarded for their bravery & consistency, while a big slip for Real Madrid which allows FC Barcelona to shut them on the ladder after they won their game earlier today against Gijon. The difference is now just 1º point between Real Madrid & Barcelona.
More Round 6 La Liga games tomorrow.
