Barcelona draw with Zaragoza, Getafe go top
But Getafe striker Riki equalised just before the break with a volley into the roof of the net and then turned provider two minutes from time, crossing for midfielder Pablo Redondo to strike the winner at the far post. Villa was sent off in injury time for a red card offence as tempers flared. Barca coach Frank Rijkaard continued his rotation policy, this time leaving Spain midfielder Xavi out of the squad. But for the first time in the league this season he was able to include Argentine striker Lionel Messi, who started on the bench, after the 18-year-old gained Spanish citizenship last Monday. BARCELONA STUNNED Barca took the game to Zaragoza with their trademark tight passing and swift attacks but chances were at a premium. Zaragoza took the lead three minutes after the restart with their first effort on goal. Brazilian forward Savio swung in a free kick from wide on the right and the ball was flicked on to the far post where Milito powered a header past goalkeeper Victor Valdes. Barca were still reeling from that blow when Zaragoza struck again five minutes later. Savio was the architect once more as he was given time to swing in a shot
from almost the same spot where he had struck the free kick.
