La Liga Round Up 26/1/13

Written by Matthew Winter

Celta de Vigo 1-1 Real Sociedad
Celta will see today's result as dropped points as they look to move away from the relegation zone. The home side went ahead when Krohn-Dehli played a smart one two before sliding the ball in the corner. But it didn't get much better for the home side who lost Fernandez to two yellow cards just after the interval. It took only 10 minutes for Sociedad to make the man advantage count. Elustondo rose free from a corner to head home and earn the away side a point.

Levante 2-1 Valladolid
Levante moved between 2 points of a Champions League place after coming from behind to beat Valladolid. The away side took the lead after 8 minutes after Baraja spectacularly volleyed home after a poor clearence from a corner. The home side got an important leveller just before half time when Barkero curled in a wonderful free kick. It took until the 90th minute for Levante to grab their winner in fortuitous circumstances when Rukavina poked into his own goal.

Real Zaragoza Vs Espanyol
Only a point can separate the teams in the table but nothing could on the pitch today. In a particular scrappy game both teams were reduced to ten men in the final 10 minutes with Lopez and Sapunaru picking up 2 yellow cards a piece.

Deportivo 2-3 Valencia
Valencia grabbed a vital win that kept them in touch with Malaga in 6th place and Deportivo rooted to the bottom of the table. Jonas put the away side in the lead as early as the first minute but Deportivo turned the scoring round in the first half with 2 goals from Riki. But a red card early in the second half for Deportivo's Silvio put Valencia in the ascendancy. Nelson Valdez equalised and Alberto Costa won it for the away side in final minute before another red card for the home side, this time Assuncao.
