Not a great weekend for
keepers, with 31 goals scored in the ten league games. Only three managed clean
sheets, Esteban and Nuñez in their respective sides' victories over
Levante and Getafe, and Espanyol's Kameni, who saved a Ronaldo penalty in their
win over Real Madrid. There was a surprise change of keepers at the other end
in that fixture, Casillas injuring his hand in the pre-match warm up and
handing over the gloves to César, The reserve "portero" also saved a
penalty, twice in fact as the referee ordered Tamudo's kick to be retaken, but
was injured himself near the end and will probably miss the midweek game
against Osasuna. (20.09.04) |
