Lots of 'firsts' in this round.
Murcia 0-2 Deportivo
Depor gave Murcia a lesson on how to attack & score effectively. ZZZZ...
Racing 1-1 Espanyol
Tamudo scored a late penalty to take home a deserved point.
Osasuna 0-2 Getafe
Getafe win their 1st away game against an Osasuna side who couldn't break down their defence.
Zaragoza 2-3 Valladolid
Valladolid pick up a crucial 3 points. Misery for Zaragoza faithful. Here's hoping they survive the drop- they give top sides a run for their money & play attractive football.
Levante 3-0 Almeria
Levante win their 1st game...of the season! Rigano hat-trick. They'll still be relegated, though!
Atletico 3-4 Villarreal
........
Barcelona 3-0 Betis
Barcelona win a toothless, clueless Betis.
Athletic 2-0 Recreativo
Athletic win their 1st home game.
Mallorca 0-2 Valencia
Morientes helped Valencia momentarily forget their crisis while Mallorca were left scratching their heads (they played far better, but couldn't score).
Sevilla 2-0 Real Madrid
Mandril's 2nd loss of the season & one that tightens up the top half of the table. Poor officiating. Schuster immaturely blamed the ref's region of origin (Catalonia) as the reason for some of his decisions.
1 Real Madrid 25
2 Barcelona 24
