Last gasp Zidane goal saves Madrid’s blushes

A NIGHT of contrasting fortunes for Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga.

Two goals in the last three minutes from Raul Bravo and Zinedine Zidane saved Real’s blushes, and possibly Vanderlei Luxemburgo’s job, in a pulsating clash against Real Sociedad, while in Spain’s other late game Barcelona crushed Racing Santander 4-1 with Eto’o, Messi, Ronaldinho and Sylvinho on target.

Xabi Prieto put Sociedad ahead from the penalty spot just before the break, after Roberto Carlos was adjudged to have pushed over Oscar De Paula. De Paula himself got Sociedad’s second with a header after 58 minutes.
