Zamoras

As expected Cañizares took the Zamora prize this season, although Rivaldo made a bit of a dent in his numbers with a hat-trick on the last day. He eventually wins by three goals difference over Molina, who kept a clean sheet for 80 minutes and then graciously gave up his place to Songo'o for him to say goodbye to fans before leaving for French club Metz. Four other clean sheets this week, with one of them going to Amador, third choice keeper of Las Palmas, who was given a game this week as a reward for his loyalty. Osasuna's Sanzol kept his second in a row since coming in to the side in place of the injured Nuno, and it was enough to give them their second 1-0 victory in a row and keep them in the first division. How the league's only ever-present player Esteban would have loved to say the same thing - his side Oviedo were relegated after the keeper let in four more, and after starting the year in the Spanish squad, he now finds himself playing in the second division next season. Racing's Ceballos will be there too, despite seeing his side beat Bilbao 3-0. As with last week, there were many substitute keepers playing this week, although Kike of Alavés didn't last more than 30 minutes before he picked up an injury and had to go off. One who was back though was Casillas, and before the kick off he picked up the Bravo prize for the most promising young player in Europe this season. He will have to wait though until late August to see whether he can keep his place in Madrid's first team ahead of César. This section is now putting up the shutters until the new season, when we too will be starting with a clean sheet. Hope you enjoy your holidays! (18.06.01)
