Well, the Spanish Liga is currently turned on its head: Roque Santa Cruz's 2 strikes in Real Betis' 4-3 victory over Zaragoza have left them in an unfamiliar position: on the top of the Spanish League! Santa Cruz gave Betis the lead in the 7th minute before Salva Sevilla struck a penalty in the 12th minute for a 2-0 lead. Efrain Juarez brought Zaragoza one back in the 36th. The 2nd half was Betis' for sure though: Benat Etxebarria converted a penalty 2 minutes in while Santa Cruz added his 2nd, a 4th for Real Betis, in the 49th. Juan Carlos Perez proceeded to fight back for the visitors scoring in the 77th and 79th minutes but to no avail. It should be added that Betis' goalkeeper was sent-off in the 70th minute after a foul on Luis Garcia outside of the box. In other Spanish news, Espanyol edged Getafe 1-0 thanks to a goal from Walter Pandiani in stoppage time of the 2nd half. Defending champions Barcelona are currently in 3rd place with 8 points (2 wins and 2 draws), while Real
Madrid are actually 7th with 7 (2 wins, a draw and a loss).
