| With
Bonano letting in two at Deportivo and Cavallero still away on international
duty, Kike took advantage to sneak up into first place. It was a bit of a cheat
though, as he only played the first 45 minutes before having to leave the field
injured, and Herrera came on in his place and let in a penalty goal in the
second half. A few more goals this weekend, 25 in all, with five keepers
keeping their sheets unsullied in addition to the aforementioned Kike. Casillas
kept his place in the Real Madrid side despite letting in four from Las Palmas
midweek, and redeemed himself against Athletic Bilbao. Last year's Zamora
Cañizares moved into the reckoning again, and after their third 1-0 home
game of the season it looks like Valencia are still happy to play defensively
despite the promises of the new manager. Cañizares is joined in equal
second place by Prats, who's fourth clean sheet in a row helped Betis back up
to the top of the league. The other two spotless 'porteros' were Zaragoza's
Láinez and Valladolid's Ricardo. (08.10.01) |
