Real Betis vs Real Madrid 1-6 All Goals & Highlights 2016
Zinedine Zidane praised Real Madrids attitude after they put a four-game winless run behind them by thrashing Real Betis 6-1 in a relentless display away from home on Saturday.
Real were missing their captain Sergio Ramos and the influential midfielders Luka Modric, Casemiro and James Rodrguez but raced into the lead in the fourth minute when Raphal Varane nodded in Toni Krooss cross from a free-kick.
The players are talented and intelligent, and they knew they had to begin the game in the way they did. When we play with that intensity from the start its very difficult for our opponents, Zidane said.
Now we have to remain consistent and this game was a great display, a reference point. Its not easy to play like this away from home.
The German international Kroos, who signed a new contract with the club until 2022 on Wednesday, compensated for the absence of his usual midfield partners with a powerful display and also teed up Karim Benzema for Reals second.
The Spain international Isco made the most of the opportunity his sides injury crisis afforded him by scoring Reals fourth and fifth goals either side of the break.
First he finished off a frenetic counterattack, tapping Pepes pass into the net after an arrowed cross from Cristiano Ronaldo, and just after the hour mark he sent a majestic curled effort into the far top corner.
He played very well and Im very happy with his goals and his overall work. Im delighted with his display, added Zidane.
When you love football and you see your team score a goal like our fourth, with very few touches and with the speed of the transition, you just want to watch it again and enjoy it, and thats what Im going to do.
The left-back Marcelo got on the scoresheet to mark his return from three weeks out through injury, and the talisman Ronaldo grabbed the final goal to round off a happy night for Real after a difficult month.
Under its fiery new Cajun leader, LSU blasted Missouri 42-7 on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium, rolling up the most yards (634) in a Southeastern Conference game in school history and stuffing the league"s top-ranked offense in Ed Orgeron"s dashing debut as interim head coach.
Running back Derrius Guice, subbing for an injured Leonard Fournette, ran for a career-high 163 yards, scored three first-half touchdowns and helped Coach O and the Tigers (3-2, 2-1) jump out to 35-0 lead. They coasted to a romping win in front of an announced 102,071.
"Whole week," Orgeron said, "you can feel the state of Louisiana on fire."
They"re toasty now. This one was never in doubt.
"We played for 60 minutes," Orgeron said. "We put the pedal to the metal. ... We"re just getting started."
LSU outgained Missouri 158-31 in the first quarter, jumped out to a 21-0 halftime lead and stifled a Missouri offense that entered the game ranked No. 1 in the league. Eight of Missouri"s first 10 drives ended in a punt, and coach Barry Odom"s squad did not cross LSU"s 45-yard line until 10 minutes were left in the third quarter.
By that time, Guice, an electric sophomore out of Baton Rouge"s Catholic High, had scored three times, racing in from 42, 4 and 37 yards. He was the lead horse in an offense that flashed new formations and different personnel tweaks that Orgeron alluded to throughout the week.
Odom admitted after the game that LSU "did a couple of things different."
It started during practice this week. Those were more fast-paced and shorter, the players said.
LSU had two 100-yard rushers (Guice and Darrel Williams, who also had three TDs) and a 200-yard passer (Danny Etling) in the same game for the first time since 2013 against Furman. Orgeron"s group put together four drives of at least 80 yards in the same game against an SEC team for the first time since 2001.
The Tigers broke their record for offense in a conference game on the last significant snap on their final drive, eclipsing 630-yard outings against Ole Miss (1987) and Mississippi State (1967).
"The output we had on offense was tremendous," Orgeron said.
"Great game plan. Everything was working tonight," receiver D.J. Chark said. "We were able to give them a start to a new season."
Etling missed a handful of long passes, but he made a few snazzy plays with his feet and kept the offense chugging. LSU"s first three-and-out didn"t come until late in the third quarter, and the Tigers had scoring marches of 84, 93, 89, 85 and 75 yards.
New offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger"s unit put on a show a week after a woeful offensive outing at Auburn resulted in the ouster of head coach Les Miles and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron.
LSU fired those two Sunday afternoon, moving Orgeron, a Larose native, to head coach and Ensminger to the coordinator role. The team responded in a rousing way with its former coach watching from afar.
In an interview that aired Saturday morning on ESPN, Miles said he planned to watch his former team play Missouri (2-3, 0-2) from his Baton Rouge home and that he "understands" LSU"s decision to fire him because the school wanted "more production, more wins."
They got one on a cool early October Saturday in Baton Rouge. A trip to sluggish Florida (4-1, 2-1) comes next. LSU and Orgeron did this without their star tailback, too: Fournette, nursing a bruised and once-sprained left ankle, did not dress out, and the coach said the running back could not have played even if LSU needed him.
It didn"t Saturday. LSU ran for a whopping 418 yards, averaging more than 8 yards per carry. Williams ran for 130, Nick Brossette had 73 and Etling, despite those downfield struggles, hit nine different receivers with his 19 completions.
It all had Coach O happy afterward and wet. The gravel-voiced Cajun got a Gatorade bath after the game. He called it a "dream" walking into Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.
"It makes us feel good knowing that we"ve got our coach"s back," Chark said of the win. "It"s a new season for us. Going on the road next week, playing against a good Florida team, we just want to show we got Coach O"s back again and (we"re) going to fight for him in The Swamp."
Orgeron stepped onto the field more than two hours before pregame warmups, receiving a warm welcome from a few hundred students in the stands. Before leaving the playing surface, the coach raced toward the student section, pumping his fist and pounding his chest.
Halfway through the first quarter, after Guice"s 42-yard touchdown run, he threw his chest into the running back for a rare midgame chest bump from coach to player.
Orgeron and Ensminger flashed that reworked offense the head coach talked so much about all week. The practice tweaks weren"t the only differences. LSU simplified its offense, specifically for the quarterbacks, the players said. They ran different plays from different formations, too, Orgeron said.
And they passed early, a key in opening up the running game late.
"Well, we opened up with the passing game," Orgeron said in an interview with ESPN immediately after the game. "We loosened them up a little bit, just what the game plan was, then put the run to them."
LSU opened the game with four receivers including Russell Gage, a Redemptorist High grad who played more snaps in the game than he has in his three-year career. The Tigers passed the ball on their first four plays, each of them a four-receiver formation.
"It"s definitely something new," Chark said.
"It was a nice mixture of both (old and new offense)," Etling said. "We went out there and executed the plays that were called."
LSU roared to a big lead and rolled up a whopping 19 first downs in the first half, hitting 350 yards late in the second quarter. The Tigers hadn"t hit that mark in five of their previous nine complete games.
Orgeron made his first critical call in the first quarter, going for it on fourth-and-2 at the Missouri 25. Guice was stuffed for no gain, the only speed bump in an otherwise fiery opening half in an explosive opening act.
"We"re going to stay hungry, going to get better," Orgeron said. "There are going to be bigger and better opponents down the road."

SEATTLE >> The Latest on a powerful storm in the Pacific Northwest (all times local):
10:25 a.m.
A gallery owner in Manzanita, Oregon, says what started as a typical beach storm instantly became much more.
Debbie Harmon of the Amanita Gallery says out of nowhere the wind suddenly made a whoooo sound.
The whole sky filled with debris as a tornado touched down in the small coastal city. Harmon says it was just crazy and then it just stopped.
Next thing, she saw trees scattered in the road and emergency vehicles headed toward the beach area.
9:10 a.m.
A tornado has been reported on the northern Oregon coast.
Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long says it touched down in the city of Manzanita about 8:20 a.m. He says there are no reports of injuries, but there have been several calls about damage, including one from a woman who says all the windows in her house were blown out.
Long says the county is sending an additional ambulance to Manzanita, just in case its needed. He says volunteer firefighters are also being activated.
8:45 a.m.
The National Weather Service issued tornado warnings for southwest Washington and northwest Oregon.
The warnings issued early Friday were in response to a strong thunderstorm that moved through the area. The National Weather Service said there were reports of tornado damage in Manzanita, Oregon, on the coast. No other information was immediately available.
The heavy rain created dangerous conditions for the morning commute, as drivers tried to see out rain-pounded windshields and navigate through standing water on the roads.
Several school districts across the region delayed start times because of the weather.
6:48 a.m.
Strong winds and heavy rain walloped the Pacific Northwest, leaving thousands without power as utility crews prepare for whats expected to be a rougher storm on Saturday.
In Oregon, Portland General Electric reported that more than 4,000 customers were without power at 5 a.m. Friday. Pacific Power reported that 2,800 customers in coastal communities had no lights, down from a peak of more than 15,000.
Portland had the rainiest Oct. 13 in its history. The National Weather Service says a 103-mph wind gust was recorded at Cape Meares.

In Washington, Puget Sound Energy responded to scattered outages, reporting early Friday that more than 2,800 customers were still affected. Lightning strikes hit the southwest Washington coast Friday morning, and a tornado warning was briefly in effect for Pacific County.
Meteorologists expect a breezy Friday before the remnants of a typhoon hit the region Saturday. Forecasters say wind gusts as high as 70 mph could sweep through Seattle.
I thought it might be something new instigated by coach Kalani Sitake, but apparently not. If you know how, or why, this tradition of not wearing helmets to the coin toss began, I"d like to hear more about it. Send me an email drew@sltrib.com.
I wrote for Tuesday"s newspaper a story about how it appears that BYU is making a conscious effort to portray a more sportsmanlike, clean-playing football team than in the past. BYU players and coaches said Monday that they aren"t doing it on purpose, but it is probably a function of Sitake"s personalty coming out in the actions of his players.
Whatever the reason, it is refreshing.
I wasn"t able to include all the comments in one article, so here are a few more as they relate to the new behavior, and the push to represent the school better than they have in the past:
Sitake on how trash talk on the field can lead to poor behavior:
"Our guys don"t engage in a lot of trash talk. I think a lot of it is friendly banter. We don"t want to make anything personal. So, that"s just what we believe. We believe in great sportsmanship, and respecting the game, and what it is all about. This is a team game, and so the focus is all on the team and what we do as a group. I have been really proud of how they handle themselves. I can"t say anything about stuff in the past, except I am grateful for the things that have been established here, and the foundation that Bronco Mendenhall set here. We are going to keep building on that and that is what we believe as a program, and what I believe as a head coach."
Sitake on BYU presenting flowers to the families of fallen MSU players and whose idea it was, and why:
"There are a bunch of guys on our staff that are always thinking about things we can do as a team. We try to represent more than just football, as a program. We have a lot of guys involved and looking into things we can do to make the world a better place with the role that we have as a competitor on the football field. We had a bunch of guys in the administration and our coaching staff that brought it up. I think Chad Lewis was one and we had a lot of guys discussing what we could do to honor them, and they actually gave us a choice to come out for the national anthem, and also the moment of silence, and we gladly accepted. We thought it would be good for us to support them, and their loss, and give our condolences.
We were able to compete and have a great game, but there is more to life than just football. And sometimes, we lose sight of that. This was one moment where our players can understand that and be part of the whole process of honoring others and showing people that we care."
