LA LIGA : Athletic Bilbao 1 - 0 Real Madrid (VIDEO)

Llorente header sinks Real


Fernando Llorente's early header proved the difference between the sides as Athletic Bilbao pulled off a shock win over Real Madrid in the Primera Division.
Spain striker Llorente nodded home from a corner after just two minutes and the home team held on for a fine win, Athletic goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz denying the visitors with a string of great saves.
The Basques were reduced to 10 men in stoppage time when Carlos Gurpegi was sent off for a second bookable offence but there was no time for the capital club to capitalise on their numerical advantage.
Madrid are always made to work hard at San Mames, but won the corresponding fixture 5-2 last season.
Fran Yeste was dismissed in that match following a scuffle with Iker Casillas.
The Madrid goalkeeper exaggerated the contact then and was given a hard time by the Athletic fans even before this match had kicked off.
And Casillas, who made his debut at this ground at the tender age of 17, had to pick the ball out of his net after just two minutes.
Yeste played a part, whipping in an excellent corner which Llorente met with aplomb to head home and give Athletic the perfect start.
Llorente is always a danger in the air, but the striker was surprisingly left all on his own by Madrid's central defensive partnership of Ezequiel Garay and Raul Albiol.
Those two, in the absence of the injured Pepe, had led Madrid to back-to-back clean sheets in the last two matches, but they were negligent as Athletic took the lead and had looked uncomfortable from the outset as the Basques flew out of the blocks.
Joaquin Caparros' side could have taken the lead even earlier, twice rattling the woodwork in the opening minute, firstly through Gurpegi's piledriver and then as Gaizka Toquero struck the post from the rebound with the goal at his mercy.
Madrid, now behind, soon settled and Karim Benzema - in for the injured Gonzalo Higuain - tested Iraizoz after seven minutes following Xabi Alonso's miscued effort.
The France striker then tried his luck from distance, but Iraizoz was up to the task once again and made the stop.
Madrid came close to an equaliser midway through the half.
Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was parried by Iraizoz, but the ball span back towards goal and the Athletic keeper did well to scramble clear at the second attempt, despite tripping over the Portugal winger.
Kaka then set up Benzema, but the former Lyon man was this time denied by the post.
He probably should have scored, but the leveller was remaining elusive for a now dominant Madrid outfit.
Alonso was denied by Iraizoz after that and Garay headed wide as half-time approached.
Athletic went in ahead at the break still clinging onto their early lead.
It looked as if they would be unable to hold out for the entire second half, though, as Madrid continued to pressure.
But the visitors struggled to get going after the interval.
Ronaldo should have equalised on the hour, but the former Manchester United star - one on one with Iraizoz - shot straight at the Athletic keeper.
Kaka was also denied by the former Espanyol number one and sent another great opportunity fizzing over the bar later on.
It was proving a frustrating night for the visitors and particularly Kaka.
The Brazil forward had another good chance with eight minutes left, but failed to hit the target this time and Athletic's fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Gurpegi was sent off for a second bookable offence deep into stoppage time, but it was too late to matter and Athletic stood firm to secure a fine win.
The result saw Athletic climb to seventh place in the standings on 30 points - 11 less than second-placed Madrid.

CAN 2010 : Egypt 2 - 0 Mozambique

Gedo seals Egypt's place in last eight

Defending champions Egypt sealed a place in the African Nations Cup quarter-finals by beating Mozambique at the Estadio do Benguela in Group C.

It was an uninspiring encounter and it was, perhaps fittingly, an own goal - from Mozambique's Dario Khan - which broke the deadlock after 47 minutes.
Substitute Mohamed Gedo added a second nine minutes from time.
Chances were few and far between in the first half but the best of them went to Egypt.
After 25 minutes Hosni Abd Rabo crossed for Shikabala, who controlled well as he cut inside but scuffed his shot, allowing Mozambique goalkeeper Kapango to scramble the ball behind.
Ahmed Fathi then went for goal when Emad Moteab was clear and saw his effort headed behind, much to the annoyance of the striker.
Egypt came close in stoppage time as the ball broke to Mohamed Zidan.
Paito slid in with an excellent challenge but the ball broke to Moteab, whose angled strike was well saved Kampango.
Egypt went ahead two minutes after the break in somewhat fortuitous circumstances.
Hosni sent in a low cross from the right and Khan got to the ball first, but could only send it into his own net.
After 53 minutes, Mozambique - who, as fellow Portuguese speakers, had the backing of the Angolan fans - spurned a glorious chance to pull level.
Tico-Tico found himself alone in the box when the ball spooned up in the air off Mahmoud Fathallah, but he could not control the dipping ball and sent his shot straight at Essam El Hadari.
Egypt responded and Sayed Moawad sent a deflected shot narrowly wide of the far post from an acute angle.
Mozambique had the ball in the net after 58 minutes through Almiro Lobo but the flag was up for offside.
And Egypt sealed the win in some style, as some nice build-up play between Ahmed Hassan and Moteab saw the former play in Gedo.
The substitute flicked the ball up, turned and smashed a volley home.
Mozambique could still qualify if they beat Nigeria in their final group game and Egypt do not lose to Benin.

Diouf nets his first for United

Manchester United claimed a much-needed victory over Burnley to ease their worries on the field even if they are piling up outside Old Trafford.

Chants of "We want the Glazers out'' from the Stretford End emphasised the debt mountain being carried by the Red Devils.

For a long time it looked as though it was hanging round the players' necks too.

But a five-minute purple patch just after the hour brought Dimitar Berbatov's seventh goal of the season and Wayne Rooney's 17th.

And, with new-boy Mame Biram Diouf adding another near the end, United had regained a sense of superiority, even if the outcome could have been vastly different if either Steven Fletcher or David Nugent had taken golden opportunities when Brian Laws' first game in charge was still deadlocked.

However, the United faithful will be acutely aware much better will be required at Eastlands on Tuesday if Carlos Tevez is not to celebrate Carling Cup glory at the expense of his old club.

This would not normally be regarded as an ideal fixture for a new manager to open their account with a win.

Yet such is negativity circling United just now anything seems possible, even for a team with just one away point from 10 games prior to kick-off and without a win on this ground since 1962.

The vast majority of this week's headlines have concentrated on the growing debt and what will have to happen if the Glazer family are unable to meet interest rates on a £500million bond.

But there are also concerns about the strength of Ferguson's team.

A first appearance on home soil since that dismal FA Cup defeat to League One Leeds offered an ideal opportunity to allay a few fears. Instead, concerns just grew.

Although United dominated possession, it was not until the final minutes of the half, when Nani's overhead kick was clawed behind by Brian Jensen that the Red Devils looked as though they might score.

Rooney worked hard as usual and had a couple of chances, while Antonio Valencia and Patrice Evra threatened danger from wide positions.

Berbatov was again a disappointment though.

He may now be a six-time Bulgarian player of the year but the 28-year-old remains an enigmatic presence.

There was no sign of a knee injury as he rose to meet decent crosses from either flank that he could not direct on target and he lacked conviction when he tried to turn home a low Valencia ball drilled into the six-yard box.

Gary Neville's angry reaction to a perceived lack of movement would not have done much for Berbatov's confidence either, although the dent would not have been as big as the one inflicted on United had Steven Fletcher made more of the opening period's best chance.

Eager to make an impression against his former club, Chris Eagles started the move with a precise pass to Nugent.

Far too easily, the United defence had been completely opened up. Nugent lifted the ball over Neville and set Fletcher racing through on Edwin van der Sar, making his comeback after a 12-match absence.

Fletcher went for the far corner but could only turn away in frustration as his shot rolled narrowly wide.

There was no better example of the frustration surrounding Berbatov than the one just before the hour mark when he produced a brilliant piece of close control to turn onto Valencia's cross then, from six yards, drilled his shot wide when it seemed easier to score.

If Nugent had made them pay immediately afterwards, United would have had no-one to blame but themselves.

However, after latching onto Eagles' pass and outpacing Neville, the former Preston striker failed to find the target.

It proved to be a costly miss as United immediately enjoyed their pivotal five-minute purple patch.

First Berbatov's shot flicked past a startled Jensen off the base of Michael Duff's foot to break the deadlock.

Then Rooney collected the rebound after Berbatov had been denied by the Burnley keeper and, after taking a touch to steady himself, eventually drilled home.

Diouf nodded Valencia's cross past the onrushing Jensen to complete the scoring although by then, minds were even turning away from the debt and towards Manchester City and that blockbuster Carling Cup semi-final.
Fergie concerned by Berbatov

Sir Alex Ferguson has once again raised the spectre of Dimitar Berbatov heading for a knee operation when he confirmed the Bulgarian had reported more pain from a knee injury which the United boss revealed on Friday.

"Dimitar was feeling his knee again,'' confirmed Ferguson. "He played through it today but he could have come off at half-time. We will have to look at it again on Monday and see what the situation is.''

If Berbatov is forced to go for surgery it will either mean another venture into the transfer market or even more responsibility being placed on the shoulders of Wayne Rooney. It would be a shame too for Ferguson, given how impressed he was with the Bulgarian's efforts.

"He was the player who looked most like scoring today,'' he said. "A couple of shots went just by the post, he also had a couple of headers over the bar. He had so many attempts he was probably relieved to get one in the end.''

Ferguson was honest enough to accept Burnley had spurned two decent chances when Steven Fletcher and David Nugent failed to find the target after finding themselves clean through when the game was still deadlocked.

"We could have been embarrassed,'' he admitted. "We had a number of opportunities to punish them in the final third but there was a bit of nervousness and anxiety about our game.

"You need a goal to open teams up in matches like that, although while they will probably feel 3-0 was unfair, I didn't believe it was too unjust.''

New Burnley manager Brian Laws also felt Nugent's miss was the crucial point of the game, although that will not stop him trying to secure the services of the Portsmouth striker, who is currently on loan at Turf Moor.

"Hopefully something will happen in the next 48 hours," said Laws. "The club have been trying to keep David for some time and I know enough about him to want him to stay. It is a simple equation really. He either stays with us or Portsmouth sell him. He cannot go on loan anywhere else."

Laws also revealed Fletcher had gone for an X-ray after being forced off with an ankle injury suffered during a first-half challenge with Antonio Valencia.

"It was a blow to lose Steven because he was really causing them a problem," he said. "But he got a real kick on the ankle, so he has gone for an X-ray. It is just a precaution though and we will assess it again over the next couple of days."
