Pichichis

An unscheduled round of games midweek, day 11 being brought forward by a fortnight to allow Luis Aragonés to prepare Spain's World Cup qualifier against Slovakia. It was a high scoring couple of days, with 17 in the five games on Wednesday and another 12 on Thursday. Ronaldinho moved up to second in our chart behind his team mate Eto'o after scoring his fourth penalty of the season, one that he himself provoked in controversial circumstances after opponents Málaga looked like they might save a point. Later in the evening Raúl got his fifth in the league, although it came too late to prevent a 3-1 defeat at Deportivo. José Marí got Villarreal off to a good start in their game at Betis, and although Oliveira levelled the scores soon afterwards, the visitors ended up winning 2-3 thanks to a Riquelme penalty. And Luis García and Diego Milito return to our chart after scoring for their respective sides, who both drew 1-1. (28.10.05)
