FOOTBALL – La Liga this weekend saw some surprises, but has there been any change at the top of the table?
Cadiz had a surprise win at home against Atletico Madrid. The home side had goals from one end of the game to the other. The first came in the initial minute of the match.
Less than one minute into the game
Just 27 seconds into the game, and Espino runs to stop the ball going out of play and passes to Bongonda who scores. Then, at the other end of the game, Sobrino scored with 9 minutes of added time after the full 90 minutes.
However, in between all that, Fernandez scored after 81 minutes. A superb goal, just tipped by the Atletico keeper. This put the home side 2-0 up against Atletico.
Atletico´s Felix managed to equalise. He scored a double with goals after 85 and 89 minutes. The first of his goals was an amazing overhead kick into the net. The second was equally spectacular as the sub drives the ball home and into the bottom corner of the goal.
But the decider came with Sobrino who scored the late goal. Cadiz took the well-deserved 3 points.
