Real loses to Depor in Spain
Agencies
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 17 - 03 - 2008

0 against Deportivo Coruna in the Primera Liga on Saturday as it failed to break its jinx at the Riazor.
The Spanish champion has not won in La Coruna since November 1991 and never looked like breaking the sequence after losing to a second-half own-goal by Portugal defender Pepe.
Real stays eight points clear of second-placed Barcelona but Frank Rijkaard's side can close to within five with a win in Almeria on Sunday.
The match between Real Betis and Athletic Bilbao at the Manuel Ruiz de Lopera was suspended in the second half with the score at 2-1 after Bilbao goalkeeper Armando was hit in the face by a bottle thrown from the stands.
At the foot of the table, Real Murcia's chances of avoiding relegation suffered a blow when they were beaten 4-2 at fellow strugglers Recreativo Huelva.
Elsewhere, Luis Fabiano scored twice to lead Sevilla past Valencia 2-1 and improve its chances of returning to the European Champions League next season.Bundesliga back in title race
In Berlin, last-place Energie Cottbus stunned leader Bayern Munich with a 2-0 win on Saturday, throwing the Bundesliga title race wide open again.
Branko Jelic scored in the 18th and 38th minutes against a Bayern team that looked like it believed the pundits who said the title was secured last week. Bremen's 6-3 loss against Stuttgart put it seven points clear heading into the weekend.
Hamburger SV closed to within five points with a 1-0 win over Dortmund. Werder Bremen could chop the lead to four when it plays Wolfsburg Sunday and Leverkkusen would only be six back if it beats Nuremberg the same day.
Jelic sidefooted in a cross as two defenders proved a step slow in front of 23,000 wildly cheering spectators in Cottbus. In the 38th, he went through to put a low shot over diving goalkeeper Oliver Kahn.
In the 28th, Bayern's Franck Ribery had his penalty shot blocked by goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel, the first time he failed to convert from the spot this season.
Cottbus not only did Bayern's rivals a favor, the club jumped from last to 15th place and out of the relegation zone. It was the club's first win in 2008.
Hamburg recovered from a UEFA Cup knockout at the hands of Leverkusen three days ago when Paolo Guerrero scored in the 63rd minute against Dortmund.
Hamburg ran its league unbeaten streak to nine matches, and was helped when no Dortmund defender was close enough to stop Guerrero from putting his foot on Ivica Olic's cross right in front of the goal.
VfB Stuttgart's four-game winning streak was stopped by a 1-1 draw against VfL Bochum.
In other games, it was: Karlsruhe 0, Eintracht Frankfurt 1; Hannover 2, Bielefeld 2; and Hansa Rostock 0, Berlin 0. __
