Continued 2/12/2011 domestic results.

Spain saw Sporting Gijon tie with Barcelona 1-1. David Barral gave the hosts an important lead while David Villa was the man to save Barcelona from defeat with his 80th minute strike. Racing successfully hosted Sevilla as they ran out winners 3-2. Racing were two up before the 20th minute thanks to a goal from Christian Fernandez and an own-goal from Ivan Rakitic. Federico Fazio brought Sevilla one back before Luis Fabiano converted his 83rd minute penalty to make it 2-2. Manuel Arana salvaged the game for Racing though when he struck in the second minute of stoppage time before the end to win the three points. Atletico and Valencia had a nice game of their own, one which Valencia edged out the competition. Jose Antonio Reyes struck for Atletico in the 3rd minute before Joaquin struck twice to make it a 2-1 game. To the east in Portugal now, where Nacional lost to Leiria 0-1 as Fabricio struck the golden goal in the 44th to win the day. In the other match yesterday, Olhanense tied Sporting Lisbon 2-2. Helder Postiga struck in the 27th and again in the 62nd to put Sporting two ahead before Ismaily brought Olhanense back one three minutes later. Daniel Carrico then scored an own-goal in the 67th; the last goal of the game. Over in Italy, Milan v.s. Parma was a very one-sided match as the Milanese won 4-0. Clarence Seedorf opened the account in the 8th minute before Antonio Cassano struck again in the 17th. Robinho then slotted home another two as AC Milan ran away clear victors. Finally, Napoli's match against Roma ended in victory for the second place team. The victory strengthened Napoli's position as they now sit four points above third place Lazio. Edinson Cavani was the architect of the whole show though, as he pulled two goals out of the hat, including a penalty, to put the game outside of the reach of the Romans.
