Zamoras

All eyes were on Sevilla this Sunday, where Valencia defeated their hosts to tie up their second league title in three years. Part of the secret of the Chés success lies in their Italian style defence, and for the seventh time in ten games Cañizares remained unbeaten. The Spanish international keeper has only failed once in the last four years to win the Zamora prize, Celta's Cavallero pipping him at the post last season. This year Cavallero's defence has been full of holes, but his side have recovered in recent weeks and he recorded his fifth clean sheet in six weeks as the Galicians struggle to avoid the drop. Elsewhere four other keepers kept their goals against column to zero, Reina (Villarreal), Lainez (Zaragoza), Lemmens (Espanyol) and Arnau (Málaga). Osasuna meanwhile gave a run out to Elía in place of Sanzol, only his second appearance for their first team. (10.05.04)
