MADRID -- The last Spanish league derby against Atletico Madrid marked a turning point for Zinedine Zidanes Real Madrid.The disappointing home defeat in February was the last time Madrid lost a game in the league. It rebounded from that 1-0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu by going on a streak that culminated with the club lifting the Champions League trophy -- in a final against Atletico -- and contending for the league title until the very end.Madrid won 12 straight after the loss, erasing 11 points off Barcelonas lead and finishing only one point from the title.This time, Madrid is just looking to keep its momentum when it plays city rival Atletico on Saturday.Madrid arrives at the derby in a much better position than previously, holding a two-point lead over Barcelona and a six-point advantage over Diego Simeones Atletico, which needs the victory to avoid losing more ground to the rivals.

It has won four straight in the league and is the only team in the top tier not to have lost this season.Succeeding at the Calderon may be especially difficult this time as Zidane has been dealing with injuries to some of the teams top forwards. Alvaro Morata, who scored three goals in his last three games with Madrid, is out because of a hamstring injury sustained with Spains national team, and it remains unclear if Karim Benzema will overcome a lingering hip problem.The coach may have to change the team up front, or use some of his reserve players to fill the attack along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale. Among Zidanes options on offense are Lucas Vazquez and youngster Mariano Diaz.Other Madrid players uncertain to start Saturday because of injuries include defender Pepe and defensive midfielder Casemiro. In better news for Zidane, midfielder Luka Modric will likely make his first start since undergoing a surgical procedure on his knee almost two months ago, and defender Sergio Ramos also is expected to play after his own knee problems. Midfielder Tony Kroos remains sidelined because of a foot injury.Simeone, meanwhile, still doesnt know if he will be able to count on forward Antoine Griezmann, who is nursing a knock to his left foot sustained with Frances national team in a World Cup qualifier last week.

Indias Shiv Chowrasia, who has finished runner-up in this tournament twice, was in second place after a 66.BALTIMORE -- The passes were sharp, the defence sound and the goals plentiful. The United States couldnt have played much better, and the timing could not have been more perfect. Clarence Goodson and Joe Corona scored during an eight-minute span of the first half, and the U.S. cruised past El Salvador 5-1 Sunday to advance to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Eddie Johnson, Landon Donovan and Mix Diskerud added second-half goals for the Americans, who will play Honduras in Arlington, Texas, on Wednesday night. Honduras beat Costa Rica 1-0 on Sunday night as part of a doubleheader before a sellout crowd at the home stadium of the Baltimore Ravens. Assists arent an official statistic in the Gold Cup, but Donovan set up three scores in a dazzling performance. "I think Landon proved again today how valuable he is and now he can make a difference," coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "This game was important for coaches to see who is a difference maker. Overall, we see our team clicking more and playing better and better." To say the least. The U.S. has won nine straight full internationals -- a record for the countrys national team. The Americans have also prevailed in seven of their last eight Gold Cup matches, the exception being a 4-2 loss to Mexico in 2011 final. "We are trying to catch up with the big teams in the world," Klinsmann said. "Its all about speed. Im not talking about physical speed. Im talking about mental speed, passing speed with every player going both ways. Thats what were working to. This is a process and I think that process is coming along." Rodolfo Zelaya scored for El Salvador, 1-19-7 overall against the U.S. "Collectively, theyre a very good team," El Salvador coach Agustin Castillo said through a translator. "They almost play by memory. They can find the spaces. It almost seems like every time they pass the ball into a space its going to nobody, then somebody appears and actually meets the ball. Good work, good movement." And good enough to claim a fiifth Gold Cup.dddddddddddd "Theyre going through a very good time," Castillo said. "Theyre the best team Ive seen in this tournament. They are a candidate to win it all." Goodson put the U.S. ahead in the 21st minute by converting a crossing pass from Donovan, who gained possession near the end line within 15 feet of the net. It was Goodsons fifth career goal, the second in the Gold Cup. Minutes later, U.S. goalkeeper Nick Rimando kicked aside a straight-on shot by Lester Blanco Pineda and batted away the subsequent rebound at the right corner of the net. In the 29th minute, Corona gained possession at the top of the penalty area and used his right foot to line a shot into the left corner of the net for a 2-0 lead. That drained much of the enthusiasm from the strong contingent of blue-and-white clad El Salvador fans. The U.S. continued to dominate, and it took several strong saves by Dagoberto Portillo to keep El Salvador within striking distance. Momentum shifted in the 39th minute, when El Salvadors Rodolfo Zelaya was fouled by DaMarcus Beasley and converted the penalty kick to make it 2-1. It was perhaps the lone flaw in an otherwise lopsided match. "The difference today was scoring early goals," Donovan said. "Even though they got a questionable goal back, we still kept going and our effort was really good. Obviously, to score five goals is a bonus." Johnson added an insurance goal with a header off a pass from Donovan in the 60th minute. The score came 14 seconds after Johnson entered as a substitute. Donovan converted a breakaway in the 78th minute. He is only player in history to score in six Gold Cup tournaments. Six minutes later, as a sudden rain shower began to pick up intensity, Diskerud found the back of the net. Five goals, five scorers. Thats balance. "It seems like weve been playing with each other for a while," Jose Torres said. "We move the ball well, we know each other well -- where were going to move. I think were looking good right now."
