MADRID, Aug. 28-- Real Madrid kicked off the Spanish La Liga season with a 6-0 win away to Zaragoza on Sunday. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick while Marcelo, Xabi Alonso and Kaka also got on the score sheet as Jose Mourinho's side romped to a win that was so easy it was almost embarrassing. Real Madrid never looked in trouble against a time in financial administration and the victory could well set the tone for another season in which they go head to head with FC Barcelona with the other 18 sides in Spain trailing far behind. Sunday's games kicked off at mid-day as Atletico Madrid and Osasuna both missed chances in a 0-0 draw in the Vicente Calderon Stadium. Rayo Vallacano, who also returned to the top flight, took a merited point away to fancied Athletic club Bilbao. Ander Iturraspe put Athletic ahead early in the second half, but veteran midfielder Jose Movilla leveled from inside the home area not long afterwards. Joanthan de Guzman's deflected shot was enough to give Mallorca a 1-0 win against an Espanyol side that was clearly missing the firepower of Pablo Osvaldo, who looks set to leave the club before the end of the transfer deadline. Getafe drew 1-1 at home to Levante in front of a sparsely populated Alfonso Perez Coliseum. Miku put Getafe ahead in the second half, but Getafe coach Luis Garcia's home debut, which was against his former club, was ruined when Juanlu leveled for the visitors, 13 minutes from time. |
