El Classico

The first of this seasons El-classico, i.e. the Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona match-up, resulted yesterday in 3-1 Barcelona victory. For me, the news of the game only gave rise to a big yawn. The meeting of the two oligarchs of Spanish football, with their millions of armchair fans, is of hardly any interest to me.

Here is a list, in no particular order, of yesterdays results from the football world, which are, in my opinion, of much more interest and significance:

Reading - West Ham United 3 - 0
AFC Wimbledon - Accrington Stanley 0 - 2
Union Berlin - FSV Frankfurt 4 - 0
Maccabi Haifa - Hapoel Haifa 1 - 3
Torino - Pescara 4 - 2
Morton - Partick Thisle 1 - 2
Dundee - Queen of the South 2 - 1
FK Matalac - Partizan Belgard 0 - 3
Moreirense - Belenenses 3 -2
Rott-Weiss Erfurt - Babelsberg 2 - 3
Chacarita Juniors - Rosario Central 1-1
Yeovil - Notts County 1 - 0
