We were all anxious for
goals after the two week international lay off, and we only had to wait one
minute before Diego Forlán started off what was to be the highest
scoring weekend of the season. Forlán got a second later on in the 3-3
draw at Betis, and Villa, Angulo, Luis García, Messi and Eto'o all got
their names on the scoresheet later on on Saturday evening. The biggest result
of the season to date though came on Sunday, Racing Santander just pipping
Athletic Bilbao 5-4 thanks to a late strike from Zigic, who had already scored
earlier on in the game. Sinama-Pongolle and Portillo were both on target as
Nàstic and Recre drew 1-1, Fernando Torres got his first goal in a month
as Atlético shared the points with Mallorca, and Van Nistelrooy fired
home another spot kick in answer to Capello's call for him to go for the
Pichichi this season. All in all 35 goals, and it could have been more had the
last match of the weekend between Osasuna and Sevilla not ended goal-less.
