Second division - day 2

The rest of the match postponed from day two was played tonight, with Real Madrid coming back from a goal down to draw 1-1 at Betis. The game was suspended three weeks ago after 43 minutes of play due to a floodlight failure after Capi had put the home side in front. Real Madrid drafted Ronaldo in for the injured Figo, but it was Zidane who made the running in the opening minute when he hit the crossbar. Raúl had passed a last minute fitness test to play, and six minutes into the second half he got on the end of a Roberto Carlos cross to level the scores. After that it was six of one and half a dozen of the other, and a point apiece was a fair result. Madrid move ahead of Málaga to third place, two points behind joint leaders Celta and Real Sociedad, and Betis displace Deportivo in sixth spot. (08.10.02)
