Cañizares has seen
his lead whittled away over the last few weeks, and after letting in two more
this weekend he has been caught in the table by Molina and Sanzol. Both kept
clean sheets this weekend in their sides' respective 0-0 draws against
Contreras's Betis and Calatayud's Málaga, with the Depor keeper becoming
the first player to save a penalty from Fernando into the bargain. The three
are followed in the table by Lainez, who didn't play this weekend, and then by
the three young keepers who will be vying for the third goalkeeping spot in
Spain's Euro 2004 squad this summer, Aranzubia, Víctor Valdés and
Reina. Aranzubia was another who kept his goals against column to zero, as did
Mallorca's Leo Franco and Espanyol's Toni in their teams' single goal victories
against Real Sociedad and Sevilla respectively. (24.11.03) |
