Aly Cissokho had headed the visitors into the lead after just 15 minutes but the French defender went from hero to villain in the second half when he brought down Omar Ramos to concede a penalty and was shown a red card for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. Victor Perez confidently converted the spot-kick to extend Valladolid's unbeaten run to four games as both sides remain in mid-table on 15 points from 11 games. Los Che had not even scored in their past four away trips in the league but after Dani Parejo had struck the bar with a free-kick on 13 minutes, the visitors went ahead 60 seconds later as Cissokho was on hand at the back post to bundle home Andres Guardado's cross. The goal seemed to shake the hosts out of their early Sunday slumber and they came within inches of equalising when Alberto Bueno rattled a shot from 20 yards off the inside of the post. Guardado himself then came close with a Sun, 11 Nov 2012 10:01:40 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/valencia_draw_away_at_valladolid/12181261 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/valencia_draw_away_at_valladolid/12181261 Valencia draw away at Valladolid http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/valencia_draw_away_at_valladolid/12181261 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Real Sociedad were pegged back to draw 2-2 after Antoine Griezmann twice gave them the lead over Valladolid at the Estadio Jose Zorrilla. The 21-year-old struck in the 37th and 57th minutes but Patrick Ebert levelled from long range just before half-time and then set up Oscar for the second equaliser. Sociedad could still have won it deep into stoppage time but Jose Angel's shot from his own half was tipped over. Gonzalo Castro's shot wide for the visitors was an isolated early threat, and Asier Illarramendi's free-kick on the quarter-hour was also off target. Ebert's powerful dead-ball effort at the other end drew the night's first save from Sociedad keeper Enaut Zubikarai, who also gathered Javi Guerra's close-range header and another Ebert drive. But it was Sociedad who made the breakthrough eight minutes before half-time when Castro's corner found its way to Griezmann, who finished from close range. Zubikarai made a fantastic save from Guerra but was helpless when the imp Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:32:23 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/sociedad_held_at_valladolid/12086170 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/sociedad_held_at_valladolid/12086170 Sociedad held at Valladolid http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/sociedad_held_at_valladolid/12086170 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Ruben Castro's late goal sealed all three points for Real Betis after an evenly-matched game against Real Valladolid . The experienced striker popped up a minute from full-time to settle a match which appeared to be heading for a goalless outcome. The result nudges Betis ahead of their hosts into eighth place in the table on the same six-point tally, but having played three games to Valladolid's four. Valladolid had the better of the early exchanges, Oscar volleying wide before Javi Guerra's header was saved by keeper Casto. But Betis came back into the game, Salvador Agra flashing a 25-yard effort over the bar. The same player was then guilty of a close-range miss, dragging a shot wide from six yards. And Benat Etxebarria was denied from similar range by a block from defender Marc Valiente. Ruben Perez shot wide from 12 yards and after Javi Guerra did likewise at the other end, the half ended goalless. Oscar was again off target early in the second half before team-mate Victor Perez shot Mon, 17 Sep 2012 19:55:00 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/ruben_castro_seals_real_betis_win/11741098 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/ruben_castro_seals_real_betis_win/11741098 Ruben Castro seals Real Betis win http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/ruben_castro_seals_real_betis_win/11741098 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Radamel Falcao again underlined his status as one of football's most lethal strikers by scoring a hat-trick in Atletico's convincing 4-0 home win over Bilbao. The Colombian, who has regularly been linked with a move to the Premier League, opened the scoring on 20 minutes with a clever chip before doubling the lead three minutes before half-time with an acrobatic finish. He completed his hat-trick just before the hour mark by converting from the penalty spot after Carlos Gurpegi was penalised for handball. Atletico came close to a fourth goal five minutes later when Mario Suarez's header from a corner was tipped on to the bar by Gorka Iraizoz before bouncing out off the post. The fourth goal did arrive six minutes from time when substitute Tiago, who had replaced Falcao moments earlier, rifled home from the edge of the box. Victor Perez, meanwhile, scored a penalty in each half as promoted Valladolid claimed a 2-0 home win over 10-man Levante. The opening goal arrived on 38 minutes when Perez Mon, 27 Aug 2012 20:23:53 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/atletico_crush_poor_bilbao/11564179 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/atletico_crush_poor_bilbao/11564179 Atletico crush poor Bilbao http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/atletico_crush_poor_bilbao/11564179 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Victor Perez twice scored from the spot as Valladolid emerged from a bad-tempered clash with Levante to win their first home game back in the Primera Division . The 24-year-old, who scored eight goals last season to help the Pucela to promotion, was on target in the 38th and 48th minutes on a fiery night in the north of Spain. Referee Ignacio Iglesias Villanueva brandished six yellow cards and one red - that to Levante defender David Navarro - as tempers became frayed. But Perez kept his cool amid the chaos to earn the points for Miroslav Dukic's side, pushing them up to six points and a share of the lead following their victory at Atletico Madrid last weekend. His first goal came after Navarro was sent off for handball and his second following Papakouli Diop foul on Omar, as the Granotes were unable to get going. Juan Ignacio Martinez's men remain on a point as a result and never looked like getting anything on Monday night. Their hosts started the brighter at Jose Zarilla, with Javi Guerra&#39 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 19:18:56 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/valladolid_wins_second_straight_match/11563753 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/valladolid_wins_second_straight_match/11563753 Valladolid wins second straight match http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/valladolid_wins_second_straight_match/11563753 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Leading scorers Monday in Spanish first-division football (penalties in parentheses): Lionel Messi, Barcelona, 4 Radamel Falcao, Atletico Madrid, 3 Tomer Hemed, Mallorca, 3 Jorge Molina, Real Betis, 3 Imanol Agirretxe, Real Sociedad, 2 Mikel San Jose, Athletic Bilbao, 2 Gonzalo Higuain, Real Madrid, 2 Roberto Soldado, Valencia, 2 Abel Aguilar, Deportivo La Coruna, 2 Alvaro Negredo, Sevilla, 2 (1) Victor Perez, Valladolid, 2 (2) Sun, 19 Aug 2012 00:33:00 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/soccer/article_external/spanish_football_leaders/11563750 http://network.yardbarker.com/soccer/article_external/spanish_football_leaders/11563750 Spanish Football Leaders http://www.yardbarker.com/soccer/articles/spanish_football_leaders/11563750 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/3/7/374e06fd85588c9248b04c057bd8ba2e0b0d3514/mini/messi.jpg
