Barcelona maintained their perfect start to the Primera Division season with a 1-0 victory over Almeria at the Nou Camp.

Pedro found the target after 31 minutes to make it six wins from six for the defending champions and equal their best ever start to a league campaign.

Atletico Madrid eased the pressure on coach Abel Resino with their first win of the season, beating Real Zaragoza 2-1 at the Vicente Calderon.

Jose Manuel Jurado opened the scoring for Atletico with just two minutes on the clock, with Antonio Lopez adding the second after 65 minutes.

Ewerthon replied with a penalty five minutes later but it was not enough for Zaragoza, who had also seen Marko Babic miss from the spot in the first half.

In today's other match, Diego Colotto headed the only goal of the game on the hour as Deportivo La Coruna overcame Tenerife to improve their record to four wins from six La Liga fixtures.
