The opening game of the weekend between Bizzarri's Valladolid and Cañizares's Valencia ended without goals, but after that there was only one clean sheet in the rest of the matches, Villarreal's Reina helping his side's push for the Champions' League spots with another fine performance. Cañizares has now opened up a two goal gap on the Molina and Sanzol. For all the rest it was just another day at work, all that is except Barcelona's B team keeper Jorquera, who will remember last Saturday as the day he made his debut for the first team. Frank Rijkaard surprisingly drafted him in ahead of Rüstü after Víctor Valdés went down with flu, and the Turkish keeper is now considering his future. The youngster didn't do badly either, making several good saves before Athletic finally got a late equaliser. Elsewhere Westerveld had to take a place on the bench on his return to fitness as Denoueix kept faith with Alberto, and Almunia and Juanma kept their places in goal at Albacete and Atlético respectively as Roa is recovering from an operation and Burgos is still not fully fit.
