MADRID, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Brief reports from Primera Liga matches played on Sunday:

ATLETICO MADRID 1 REAL MURCIA 1

A third week in a row without a win for Atletico who fell behind when midfielder Jofre scored from the penalty spot early in the second half after Fabiano Eller had pulled back Ivan Alonso in the area.

Former Liverpool player Luis Garcia equalised 9 minutes later when he unleashed a powerful shot into the far corner. - - - -

BARCELONA 1 OSASUNA 0

Barca looked as though would be unable to take advantage of Real's slip up against Almeria as they missed a host of chances in the first half and were kept at bay by a dogged Osasuna in the second.

Midfielder Xavi came to the rescue, however, snatching the win two minutes from time when he sent an unstoppable first-time shot flying into the net after he snapped up a rebound just outside the area. - - - -
