Valencia’s striker David “El Guaje” Villa scored for the team’s first goal at 60 minutes of the game but after 5 minutes, Higuain made another goal. Valencia’s right winger Joaquin Sanchez Rodriguez tied the match at 80 minutes of the game but after 3 minutes aa goal coming from Real Madrid’s central defender Ezequiel Marcelo Gara put an end to the game.
It was a hard-fought battle for Real Madrid but they were able to control their previous games. Though Zaragoza is not a threat to them, key players of Real Madrid were out. Zaragoza might use this opportunity to win. Brazilian football midfielder Kaka still has groin injury while Pepe (Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira) underwent a knee surgery and he will be sidelined for about 6 months. Defensive midfielder Raul Albiol will be out as well because he has injured arm while Xabi Alonso is suspended.
“I think we’ve got nothing to lose and we have to be bold.”
