Three times winner Santiago
Cañizares is already well on his way to another Zamora title after his
fifth clean sheet in a row, and that includes such illustrious scalps as Real
Madrid and Barcelona. The Valencia keeper has now gone 8 hours and 35 minutes
since Valladolid's Sousa beat him in the first match of the season.
Cañi's clean sheet was one of three this weekend, together with Racing
Santander's Ricardo and Murcia's Juanmi.
The star of the weekend
though was undoubtedly Valladolid's new signing Ocellet. The Argentine keeper
came on as substitute near half time after Bizzarri was shown the red card for
giving away a penalty, and with his first touch in Spanish football he saved
Javi Guerrero's spot kick. That wasn't all though, and he stopped a second
penalty early in the second half from Regueiro. Unfortunately Racing still
scored three past him as Valladolid fell to their second thrashing of the
season.
Ocellet's performance
outshadowed that of Esteban, who also made his debut for his new team as
substitute after Notario injured himself (unsuccessfully) trying to stop
Kovacevic scoring early on. The ex Oviedo and Atlético Madrid keeper put
in a brilliant performance to keep out the Real strikers from there on and save
Sevilla a point. (06.10.03) |
