Pichichis

Strange results in the midweek cup quarter finals, with victories for all four away teams and the hosts all failing to score. Forlán's goal at Celta and the three strikes by Xisco, Henrique and Canales at Osasuna saw Atlético and Racing through to the semi-finals, but goals by Aduríz (Mallorca) and Bodipo (Deportivo) were not enough to overturn the first leg victories of Getafe and Sevilla.

At the weekend Pedro got the only goal at Sporting to keep Barcelona clear at the top of the table, although two from Benzema at Deportivo maintained the five point gap, and gave Real Madrid a first win in 18 years at the Riazor stadium. Negredo also netted a pair for Sevilla in their 2-1 win over Valencia, taking the Andalusians up to fourth spot, three points now behind their opponents. (01.02.10)
