After two consecutive unsuccessful matches, Madrid's "Real" significantly thinned out a celebration victory - on Saturday they defeated the also recently struggling "Betis" team 0-2 in Seville, and within the ranks of the Royal club, the most expensive summer purchase, Brazilian Robinho, scored for the second time this season. The Brazilian, costing 30 million US dollars, led the visitors ahead with a shot from his right foot into the bottom corner of the goal after playing half an hour, and with about 10 minutes left until the end of the match, "Betis"' hopes to equalize were crushed. Former "Real" youth team defender Alvaro Mejia, appearing as a substitute, scored the second goal with a header after the ball touched Guti's pass. After this victory, "Real" temporarily rose to the top of the league table, while "Betis," who also struggled in these matches, suffered their third consecutive defeat in the Spanish championship after two weeks ago they were crushed 4-0 by London's "Chelsea" in the UEFA Champions League. The other Saturday match between Bilbao "Athletic" and Vigo "Celta" ended in a 1-1 draw. In the 23rd minute, after the guests failed to clear Yeste's penalty kick, Carlos Gurpegi rushed to the ball and put the hosts ahead. However, in the second half, after a pass from David Silva, the ball was directed into the goal by Angel. After this loss, the Spanish media talked about the shaky seat of "Athletic" coach Jose Luis Mendilibar.
