Zamoras

Another low scoring weekend, particularly on Sunday where only nine goals were scored in seven games. Nobody let in seven this week though (Nacho González is smiling again), with the goals fairly evenly spread around. Once again there were six clean sheets, starting with our current Zamora Toni Prats, whose side won the battle at Alavés between the two teams who have let in the least goals this season. Celta's Cavallero joins Cañizares on minus two after drawing 0-0 at home to Málaga, with his opposite number Contreras putting in the best performance of the day to stop the Gallicians from regaining top spot. Goalkeepers played an important role in the struggle to avoid relegation this week, with Westerveld returning to Real Sociedad's side and keeping out a goal-hungry Nico Olivera amongst others, and Etxeberria helping Rayo to a 2-0 victory over direct rivals Tenerife. The Canary Islanders' keeper Aragoneses was not so fortunate though, getting himself sent off after bringing down Bolic outside the area midway through the first half. Second choice keeper Julio "not the singer" Iglesias took over between the sticks, but his team lost and his manager got fired. Mallorca's Roa made some good saves at Zaragoza, but then let Toro Acuña's long shot through his hands for the only goal, taking his team down to the bottom three. Láinez remained steadfast at the other end. (18.02.02)
