- Real Madrid vs Huesca saw Zinedine Zidane claim his second straight La Liga win

- A goal each from Isco, Dani Ceballos and Karim Benzema ensured Los Blancos came from behind to win the game

- They maintain their third position on the log with 57 points and nine more matches to wrap the season up

Real Madrid claimed their second straight win under Zinedine Zidane following their 3-2 win over Huesca at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.

The visitors went ahead in the game just after three minutes of action through Juan Camilo Hernandez from close range.

The 19-year-old powered home an Ezequiel Avila beautiful square-pass from the right flank, but their leadership last for just 22 minutes as Isco restored parity for Los Blancos in the first half.

Though, Real created about three chances after conceding their first goal but none of those efforts found the back of the net.

Isco's equaliser came from a goal-mouth scramble after connecting with a Brahim Diaz's low cross in the 25th minute.

Dani Ceballos handed the hosts the lead for the first time in the clash in the 62nd minute from another scramble from the visitors' danger zone.

Xabier Etxeita leveled up for the El Alcoraz outfit in the 74th minute through a stunning strike from the left flank.

It was looking like the visitors were going to share the spoil with the Galacticos until Karim Benzema produced a stunning strike that handed Los Blancos the winner in the 90th minute.

They however remain third on the log with 57 points - 12 points behind league leaders, Barcelona with nine more matches to the end of the season.

Real Madrid travel to Mestalla Stadium next Wednesday to battle Valencia as they continue to battle to finish the season on a good note.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier.

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
