Real Madrid 2 - 1 Atletico Madrid ( sergio aguero goal )

Real Madrid 2 - 1 Atletico Madrid ( sergio aguero goal )


Sevilla's Antonio Puerta was rushed to intensive care of a local hospital after appearing to suffer cardiac arrest twice during Sevilla's 4-1 win against nine-man Getafe.

The Spain defender passed out on the field in the 31st before walking off under his own strength. Sevilla president Jose Maria Del Nido said Puerta's heart was massaged after he passed out a second time in the dressing room. Del Nido said Puerta was in stable condition.

At the Nueva Condomina, newly promoted Murcia beat Zaragoza 2-1.

After experimenting with different lineups during a preseason where Madrid lost six games, Schuster's team only had three new faces compared to the squad that won the league last season Sneijder and defenders Pepe and Royston Drenthe.

New signings Arjen Robben and Gabriel Heinze were absent after joining the team on Thursday in a matchup that featured the two biggest offseason spenders.

Raul paraded Madrid's record 30th league trophy to the fans before the start of the match, when Tour de France winner Alberto Contador kicked the ceremonial first ball of the season.

The celebrations were short-lived after Ruud van Nistelrooy deflected Mariano Pernia's corner straight into the path of Aguero for an easy goal.

Attacking with a sense of urgency, Madrid dominated from that point as goalkeeper Leo Franco blocked Robinho's point-blank shot from the right one minute before Raul headed in Sergio Ramos' cross to equalize.

Both teams showed pace throughout, with Franco stopping Robinho from short range before Ramos' header glanced off the post.

Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas made two stops on Diego Forlan before the end of the half.

The flow of play maintained its pace in the second half, with Franco's face getting in the way of Van Nistelrooy's point-blank shot in the 74th.

Sneijder, who joined from Ajax for €27 million (US$37 million), struck his winner from just outside the area after receiving a pass from Jose Maria "Guti" Gutierrez off a free kick.

Casillas denied Aguero an equalizer two minutes into injury time by pushing his chip shot out of the area.

Pablo Hernandez's free kick handed Getafe coach Michael Laudrup, Schuster's replacement, a lead 3 minutes in at the Sanchez Ramon Pizjuan.

Down to nine men inside 26 minutes, Getafe held for the rest of the first half as goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri parried Sergio Duda's free kick over the crossbar in the 36th.

But Jesus Nava equalized in the 46th, heading down Duda's long cross past an outstretched Abbondanzieri. Luis Fabiano headed the winner in the 67th before strikers Frederic Kanoute and Alexander Kerzhakov added the others.

Fernando Baiano scored the winner in the 68th to lead Murcia over UEFA Cup qualifier Zaragoza.

New signing Ricardo Oliveira scored in the 30th to equalize Alvaro Meija's 18th minute opener.

On Sunday, FC Barcelona unveils new signing Thierry Henry for the first time against Racing Santander.

In other matches, it's Athletic Bilbao vs. Osasuna; Mallorca vs. Levante; Valencia vs. Villarreal; Deportivo La Coruna vs. Almeria; Espanyol vs. Valladolid; and Recreativo Huelva vs. Real Betis.

U-20 World Cup Hero Aguero Returns To Atletico

Aguero Returns To Atletico



He may not have had the best season with Atleti last year, but Sergio "Kun" Aguero has returned to the rojiblanco camp high on confidence after a brilliant U-20 World Cup campaign.

Sergio "Kun" Aguero remains one of Atletico Madrid's most high-profile signings of all time, and the diminutive youngster went some way towards showing why at the recent U-20 World Cup.

The forward ended the tournament as top scorer, with 6 goals to his name. He also was awarded with the Golden Ball for Player of the Tournament after a series of barnstorming displays.

He managed three goals in three games during the group stages, before grabbing two during the 3-1 win over Poland in the Round of 16.

Aguero failed to net in the quarter and semi finals, but still put in convincing performances, so much so that he was awarded the captain's armband for the final against the Czech Republic.

Argentina had already faced the Czechs in the group stage - that match culminating in a 0-0 draw - but Aguero steered his team towards a memorable victory, netting the first comeback goal as Argentina fought back to win 2-1

Now, without a summer vacation to speak of, he's back in Madrid, and will train this evening along with the rest of the Atleti squad.

He could even be called into action for the Intertoto Cup Third Round Second Leg clash with Gloria Bistrita this weekend, after the disappointing 2-1 defeat in Romania left the rojiblancos with it all to do.

Sergio Aguero has been named the Player of the Tournament at the Under-20 World Cup in Canada.

Fresh from scoring one of the goals in the 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic which saw the Albicelestes clinch their sixth title, the Atletico Madrid striker won the Golden Ball as the best player. He was also the tournament top-scorer with 6 goals.

"This day means everything to me. No doubt about it, it's the happiest feeling in the world," he said. "What more could I ask for? I've won the world title with Argentina, that doesn't happen every day!"

Before returning to Spain for a second season in La Liga the Argentine beamed, "This title gives me the opportunity to go back to my club side (Atletico) and hope that things continue to go well. Let's see what happens from now on.

"When I arrived here I said my dream was to become world champion and be voted best player. Now, having achieved that, I'm incredibly happy," he said with two individual trophies in his arms.

The second, the Adidas Golden Shoe came courtesy of his finishing the tournament as top scorer after netting twice against Panama, once against Korea, twice against Poland and also in the Final against the Czechs.

"If I had to choose my best one, then it would have to be today's. It may not have been that spectacular, but it came in a final, and there's nothing to compare with that.

“For that reason it was the most beautiful, and it was fundamental to our winning the title," says the player who, with two individual awards, has matched the feats of Lionel Messi at Netherlands 2005, even down to the number of goals scored.

Previous winners of the Under 20 World Cup Golden Ball include Diego Maradona (1979), Lionel Messi (2005) of Argentina, and Yugoslavia's Robert Prosinecki (1987).
