Real Madrid vs Barcelona

Messi scoring in Super cup

This this the fixture of the day, when Barcelona traveled to Bernabeu stadium to play 1st leg of the spanish super cup on sunday. although the match ended in 2-2 Draw, but rivalry between to clubs made the compitation very interesting. fast playing Real Madrid team found themselves up when benzema's pass converted into goal by Ozil in 13'. But Barcelona's control game returned in 36' when Spanish striker David Vill scored a droping shot into top right corner beating Casillas in full stretch. before the fist half over Argentina's striker and Barcelona ace Lionel Messi scored very intelligently in 45' to go 2-1 lead till half time. 2nd half was dominated by Real Madrid mostly which leads them to score level with the super shot by former Liverpool mid Xabi Alonso. there is appeal for penalty in 82' by Cristiano Ronaldo when he caught by Valdes, but referee Teixeire Vitiene denied it. also one more appeal from Barca in 87' when substitute Pedro was careered from behind by Marcelo.  

That's all happened at Bernabeu, now 2nd leg will be played on 17th August at Camp Nou.

Two of the tittle contenders started there premier league season yesterday. The first kickoff was Chelsea against Stoke City, which ended in goalless draw. stoke defenders had done very well to control Chelsea attack, Fernando Torres is tried many time to break the net didn't succeeded in doing so, although game held well with frustrated Chelsea fans and happy stoke fans with one point but shoulder injury to Stoke's key player Matthew Etherington[61' sub] is only problem to them.

On the other side, late kickoff was last time premier league winner Manchester United against West Brom. The Red Devil taken lead in 13' minute, with the help of Rooney's Goal, but Shane Long was able to beat De Gea in 37' from Brunt's assist. the match was going well until Reid scored an own goal in 81' which is enough to give 3 points to Man Utd as they started to defend the Tittle.
