Zamoras

The goals finally came this weekend, the 32 being the highest tally since week 20. Cañizares moves back to the top of the table, letting in one less than his rival Pinto, and the Valencia keeper is in line for a record fifth Zamora trophy. Meanwhile last season's Zamora winner Víctor Valdés was rested to give a run out to his colleague Jorquera, who was one of three keepers to record a clean sheet this weekend together with Palop and César. Valdés had played every minute in the league up to then, and his absence leaves Molina and Aouate as the only two keepers with a 100% appearance record this season. Elsewhere there was a nice touch by Mallorca manager Gregorio Manzano, who replaced Prats with Moyà five minutes from the end of the match so that the ex Betis player could receive an ovation from his old fans in the Ruiz de Lopera stadium.
