Orellana goal

Fabian Orellana (1-0): La Liga (2010-04-18) Xerez - Racing Santander 2-2

Orellana scored the first goal for Xerez in the important game against Racing Santander. Xerez are in last place of the league but playing very well this month, specially Orellana. They have six points up to safe place and all teams at the bottom won at least one point this weekend. The hope is not out, yet.

What about the goal? Orellana recieves a low pass and Racing goalkeeper is sleeping at the beginning of the game, Orellana shoots and hits the keeper but get the rebound back and does not make a second mistake. Watch it below.

Suazo goal

Humberto Suazo (1-1): La Liga (2010-04-14) Zaragoza - Mallorca 1-1


Suazo keeps making himself more popular in the Northern Spain area, scoring yet another goal for his temporary club Zaragoza. The goal is really beautiful, you have to see it below. Zaragoza are at the moment safe at the near bottom of the table, but the other teams are getting closer.

Happy Chilean Easter Weekend

Alexis Sanchez (1-0): Serie A (2010-04-03) Udinese - Juventus 3-0

El "niño maravilla" scored the first goal against the old lady Juventus. His Udinese managed to win big, by three goals and are safe from relegation at this moment. The goal was pretty nice, a shot from Di Natale that touched the bar, and the rebound went to Alexis Sanchez that did not make any mistake. He is often a starting player of the team and is also a prospect to be seen at the World Cup. I'm sure that nobody will doubt his talent.

Jaime Valdés (1-0): Serie A (2010-04-03) Atalanta - Siena 2-0

Valdés is once again a goalscorer in Italian Serie A. Atalanta is in a struggle for survival in the league and, with the win against Siena they are only three points behind safe-place 17 which Lazio currently are holding. The goal from Valdés? It is a beautiful shot from outside the area, watch it below.

Mauricio Pinilla (0-1): Serie B (2010-04-02) Ascoli - Grosseto 1-1

Pinilla has scored once again for Grosseto in Serie B. His team are targeting a Serie A place, only three points behind. Next week, they will play against at home against Vicenza which are on 16th place. Pinilla's goal is OK, scoring with the tip of his toe from a center. Will Bielsa take him out after scoring almost 30 goals in a season? Pinilla hasn't played any game for La Roja since they appointed Bielsa. Can he be a Joker for the Chilean team in South Africa?

Humberto Suazo (2-0): La Liga (2010-04-03) Real Zaragoza - Malaga 2-0

Suazo has scored again, this time against Malaga. Zaragoza has really transformed since January when Suazo and others were brought in to the team. They are on 15th place and is expected a mid-table placement. The goal was really nice, a real striker move by Suazo. El Chupete with El niño maravilla on his side will cause many nightmares for Spain's, Swiss' and Honduran defenders.

¡Fuerza Chile!

Spanish team U.D. Almeria had during this week's game against Barcelona (with millions of TV-viewers) the decency to have remove their original sponsor from their kit and place ¡Fuerza Chile! on instead. Despite the fact that they don't have any Chilean players or staff members. According to their homepage, prior to the game, the referees tried to consult the league officials if the team were permitted to play in that shirt. Many games around Europe started with a silent moment for the victims of the Chilean and Haitian earthquake's these previous months. U.D. Almeria's president Alfonso Garcia also claimed that the shirts are also for sale with the proceeds going directly as donations for the victims of the Chilean earthquake.
RESPECT!!!

U.D. Almeria and the city of Almeria is now a personal favorite and deserves a special blogspot despite the fact that they played 2-2 against Barcelona, when Real Madrid is chasing.

Another week of football

Fabian Orellana (2-4): La Liga (2010-03-07) Malaga - Xerez 2-4

Xerez took an important victory against Malaga in their struggle to remain in La Liga next season. After two expulsions on each team, Xerez with Orellana as a offensive midfielder/striker, could win the match after being down a goal. Orellana scored late in the match what would be the last goal and leaving Malaga with no hope of coming back. Like Suazo last week, Orellana had a shirt with the text "Fuerza Chile" on under his Xerez kit. Respect!

More goals despite tragedy

Humberto "Chupete" Suazo (0-1 + 0-2): La Liga (2010-02-27) Getafe - Real Zaragoza 0-2

Chupete Suazo has been one of Zaragoza's best player after being bought in late Jan. from Mexican club Monterrey. Suazo was also top-goalscorer in the South American World Cup qualifying round, scoring 10 goals. He is already 2nd top-goalscoarer in Zaragoza, with the disadvantage of only have played 5 games for the team this season. Suazo played great and honored the victims of the earthquake (see previous entry) by having a "fuerza Chile"-shirt under his kit. Here are the goals.




Jaime Valdés (2-1): Serie A (2010-02-28) Milan - Atalanta 3-1.

Jaime Valdés scored a great goal for his Atalanta who are struggling for survival to remain in Italian Serie A. It is a very nice goal, a soloraid against Ac Milan. Not alot of players who can manage to do that. Enough said, just watch!
