Primera Liga reports

Brief reports of matches played in the Primera Liga on Saturday:

BARCELONA 1 REAL MADRID 2

Goals from Brazilian duo Roberto Carlos and Ronaldo gave Real their first league win in 20 years at the Nou Camp, but the defending champions had to endure a nervous finish after Patrick Kluivert headed in seven minutes from time.

Roberto Carlos fired in with a ferocious shot towards the end of the first half and midway through the second Ronaldo scored his 12th goal of the season to put Real two up.

Kluivert got his reward for some hard work up front when he fired in his header from a Ricardo Quaresma corner, but Real managed to weather the late Barca storm to hold on to their historic win.

DEPORTIVO CORUNA 1 MALAGA 0

Defender Joan Capdevila gave Deportivo their first win in four outings and made sure they stayed in touch at the top when he headed in the only goal of the game midway through the second half.

Malaga, who thrashed Barcelona 5-1 in midweek, proved a tough nut to crack and leading striker Salva Ballesta came close to putting the visitors ahead when he headed over the bar in the first half, but Capdevila popped up in the crowded area to nod in a Albert Luque free kick.

OSASUNA 3 CELTA VIGO 2

John Aloisi was the star of the show at El Sadar as the Navarrans continued their remarkable start to the season with a classy win over a beleaguered Celta.

The Australian striker scored the opener with a sharp header just before the half-hour mark and although Celta levelled eight minutes later when midfielder Jose Ignacio nodded in from close range, he grabbed his second with an excellent low drive in from the edge of the area after the break.

Aloisi capped a great performance by setting up strike partner Ibrahima Bakayoko for his side's third on 74 minutes and although Catanha pulled another one back for Celta in injury time the Osasuna win was never in doubt.

REAL SOCIEDAD 0 REAL BETIS 4

The Andalucians could hardly have ended their six-match winless run in more emphatic fashion, but a rare home defeat leaves Sociedad in deep trouble.

Midfielder Capi opened after just five minutes with a fine glancing header and Spain winger Joaquin added another when he completed a mesmerising run by drilling in under Sander Westerveld.

Betis struck again early in the second half when defender Juanito bundled in after some poor defending by Sociedad and Joaquin completed the rout nine minutes later with another fine solo effort, guiding in after he had chipped over the stranded Westerveld on the edge of the area.
