Results from round 5 of La liga

Mid-week action on Thursday night with the last two games scheduled of Round 5 of the SPANISH LIGA threw up some interesting results.

Here is a brief summary of events, with the results & the scorers.

Real Betis

In one of the games of the Round with REAL BETIS winning 4 – 3 REAL ZARAGOZA, & in doing so, leads the Spanish League table. Real Betis were down to 10 men after they lost their goalie Casto in the 69th min which allowed Zargoza to make a heroic last 20 min come back attempt that fell short for them. Here is the sequence of the events using the goal scorers as a guide:

- Roque Santa Cruz ( Betis ) – 7th min- Salva Sevilla (Betis) penalty – 12th min- Juarez (Zaragoza) – 36th min- Beñat (Betis) - 53rd min- Roque Santa Cruz (Betis) – 60

Red Card (Betis goalie Casto)

- Juan Carlos ( Zaragoza ) – 75th min- Juan Carlos ( Zaragoza ) – 78th min.

As you can see much excitement and a great game of Football. Real Betis are celebrating the fact they are “provisional” Liga leaders with 11 points.

Pandiani for RCD Espanyol

RCD ESPANYOL managed “in extremis” to defeated GETAFE 1 – 0. It was a deserved victory for Espanyol but perhaps cruel for Getafe as they watched PANDIANI score the winner (93rd min) with seconds left in the match. The visitors were heart-broken as the home side was obviously euphoric.
