MADRID, March 18 - Diego Milito's first-half goal
was enough to give Real Zaragoza a 1-0 home win over Atletico
Madrid and move them into the Champions League places in the
Primera Liga on Sunday.
The Argentine striker outstripped the Atletico defence in
the 20th-minute to score his 18th goal of the season in an
evenly-fought clash with a direct rival.
Zaragoza went fourth with 46 points, three ahead of Atletico
who remained sixth on 43.
On Saturday, leaders Barcelona thumped Recreativo Huelva 4-0
away to move on to 53 points at the top of the table, three
ahead of Sevilla, who host Celta Vigo in Sunday's late game.
Valencia are third on 47 points after falling 2-0 at home to
Racing Santander on Saturday, and could be overtaken by
fifth-placed Real Madrid on 45, if they can beat
relegation-threatened Gimnastic in the Bernabeu later on Sunday.
Ten-man Deportivo Coruna beat Getafe 1-0 at home thanks to
an impressive late strike from defender Antonio Barragan, while
Villarreal and Real Sociedad, and Espanyol and Levante both drew
1-1.
