No less than five changes on the goalkeeping front this weekend, the most notable being the replacement of an off-form Cañizares by Palop at Valencia. It didn't do a lot of good though as the Chés lost at home to Deportivo, for whom Munúa got another run out in the absence of Molina.

As it happened, none of the other three changes were successful either, with for example Osasuna's Sanzol making his return against Real Madrid in place of Elía and dropping a wet ball at the feet of Helguera for him to score a late winner.

With Luis García suspended and Lainez and Zaparain both injured, fourth choice keeper Rubén Falcón got the nod ahead of B team keeper Miguel in Zaragoza's starting line up, but within two minutes he let in a silly own goal (Toledo said he forgot that Falcón was left footed!), and they went on to lose 1-4.

Valbuena returned from a long injury to take over from Gaspercic at Albacete (just after the Belgian keeper had finally made it to our chart!), but his side were beaten 2-1 in their relegation struggle at Mallorca.

And finally Sergio Aragoneses made his first appearance since returning to Getafe during the winter transfer window, but he only had time to face up to a penalty and pick the ball out of the net after Sánchez Broto had been sent off in injury time against Espanyol.

Four keepers did manage clean sheets though this weekend, Leo Franco and Mora in Atlético's 0-0 draw with Levante, Kameni in Espanyol's aforementioned win over Getafe, and Arnau in Málaga's victory at Numancia, his fourth now in five games. (14.02.05)
