Primera Division Match day 6 highlights - La Liga Special
Real Madrid and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 also exhibited their pedigree at Mestalla. Goal scoring numbers decreased on Match day 6, but the excitement did not die down by a single notch. In this special report at Bettor.com,
we point out the highlights of the weekend games.
There were four away wins in this round of matches. Apart from the big two, Real Madrid and Barcelona, Levante and Athletic Bilbao enjoyed away wins. There were only two home wins, with Malaga and Valencia giving their fans something to cheer about. Meanwhile
Osasuna, Racing Santander, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid were held to draws, as they failed to utilize home support to full extent.
Sense of normalcy returned to Spanish top flight. Real Madrid hammered their opponent’s four goals away at Espanyol, being the exception to the rule in these fixtures. The big firing guns of Barcelona could only muster a one goal win on the road against
Sporting Gijon, versatile stopper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adriano-c3773 getting on the score-sheet.
Malaga and Getafe were involved in a high scoring encounter that resulted in a home win for the Andalusians. Luis Garcia Plaza’s men were the better team for most part of the game but failed to hold on to their lead. They let their one goal advantage slip
in the dying moments, and stood in awe as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Julio-c19950 Baptista scored from a wonderful bicycle kick.
Villarreal held Zaragoza to a 2-2 draw which was an injustice to the travelling fans. Javier Aguirre’s men did enough to earn them the three points but fell to the magnificence of Paraguayan Hernan Perez in the dying moments. The Yellow Submarine on the
other hand are continuing their lacklustre performances, rolling in mid-table obscurity at the moment.
The weekend matches saw a repeat of fortunes for Osasuna. Reyno de Navarra based outfit was held to yet another draw as they fell to two penalties. Atletico Madrid’s on loan central midfielder Raul Garcia scored twice for Los Rojillos. However, his efforts
were undone by Israeli forward Tomer Hemad. Mallorca will be happy with the share of spoils in this encounter after the departure of Michael Laudrup from the manager’s office.
Racing Santander on the other side of the table are showing their battling abilities. The outfit from Cantabria has not won a single game in La Liga thus far, but have four draws from their six games. They were the first team to stop Los Blancos take all
the points and have been involved in impressive draw since.
The Cantabrians were held to a draw against Madrid based Rayo Vallecano. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adrián-González-c3726 was the saviour for
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 in this fixture, equalizing just before the hour mark.
In other league action, Real Sociedad failed to use home support at Anoeta to their advantage and lost in the Basque derby. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468 scored
after the hour mark to equalize but in vain.
A good weekend for Spanish fans, who would have enjoyed the unexpected results and the intriguing encounters.
