Zamoras

Pato Abbandonzieri is back on top of the pile after an extraordinary weekend. Kicking off on Sunday, the Getafe keeper already knew that Víctor Valdés and Leo Franco had let in two and three respectively. And Bernd Schuster gave him a helping hand, taking him off midway through the second half before Nàstic got the winner against his replacement Luis García. With the Argentinian keeper called up to represent his country in the Copa de América, Pato will not play the last match at Celta either, virtually ensuring him this season's Zamora title.

Although there were 36 goals scored in all, there were in fact six clean sheets (seven if you count Pato), with scoreless draws between Palop's Sevilla and Moyà's Mallorca, and also between Riesgo's Real Sociedad and Calatayud's Racing. Pato's opposite number in Nàstic, Rubén Pérez, also kept his goals against column to zero, as did Osasuna's Elía, who was given a run out in place of Ricardo. Elsewhere Valencia's Butelle made an unscheduled appearance ten minutes in to the local derby at Levante after Cañizares got himself sent off. (11.06.07)
