Valencia’s eighth in a row

AFP, Madrid
Reigning Spanish champions Valencia took their unbeaten streak to eight games, with six wins over the same stretch, with a 2-1 victory over neighbours Levante on Saturday.
Goals from Ruben Baraja and Mista Ferrer in a five-minute period early in he second half condemned Levante to their eighth successive game without a win in the first derby match for 40 years between the two clubs.
Levante, last season's second division champions, held out during a first half in which Valencia had the visitors under almost constant siege.
However, 10 minutes after the break, Baraja broke the deadlock, heading his fifth goal of the season following a neat pass from the right by Francisco Rufete.
Mista added to Valencia's advantage five minutes with a hotly-disputed goal which saw Levante goalkeeper Juan Luis Mora lose control of his header and the ball squirm between his body and the post
Valencia nearly put the game beyond doubt shortly afterwards when their Argentine playmaker Pablo Aimar hit the cross bar from long-range but Levante reduced the deficit after 72 minutes.
Real Madrid cast-off Edwin Congo, who had only been on the field four minutes, dived bravely at the feet of Valencia defender David Navarro to get his head to Felix Ettien's cross.
Neverthless, despite a frantic final few minutes, Levante couldn't find the net again for a share of the points.
Valencia stay in second but close the gap on Barcelona to seven points, ahead of the runaway league leaders’ trip to Villarreal on Sunday.
Barcelona have 42 points from their 17 games, with Valencia on 35 points but having played one game more.
Fourth-placed Sevilla clung onto their unbeaten home record but they were made to work hard by a spirited Gctafe team who carved out a 0-0 draw earlier on Saturday.
The best goal chances fell to Sevilla striker Julio Baptista, who has got eight goals already this season, but he was missing his usual deadly touch.
A horrendous error by Getafe goalkeeper Francisco Sanchez Broto shordy after the break sent the ball to the feet of Baptista but the Brazilian's finishing was woeful.
Baptista had another clear-cut opportunity to get a winner in injury time but once again could not find the target and put the bail wide.
Bottom side Numancia came from behind to grab a deserved
point in a l-l draw with Athletic Bilbao, but it was not enough to lift them off the foot of the table.
Athletic opened the scoring two minutes into injury time whenTiko Martinez sent over a corner for Asier Del Homo to nod home.
However, Numancia were the better side and got the goal they deserved after 65 minutes when Luis Tevenet unleashed a shot from 25 metres.
Sunday's other big game is the Madrid derby with Adctico playing host to neighbours Real.
Atletico will defend their unbeaten home record while Real right back Alvaro Albeloa is expected to start his first league game in place of the suspended Michel Salgado.
Real’s Spanish international Ivan Helguera also faces a late fitness test after struggling for several days with a painful left
