Deportivo are close to a
place in the UEFA Cup qualifying round after a 1-2 victory against Bnei Sakhnin
in their Intertoto Cup final. Neither side created too many chances in the
first half, but Alon did well to push a close range shot from Lafita on to the
bar early in the second half. A few minutes later though Lafita made up for his
miss, collecting Sergio's long ball before cutting in to beat the keeper with
an angled shot.
Just three minutes later an
excellent Valerón found Lafita for him to set up Riki for a second, but
soon afterwards Ghanayim got one back with a long shot which Lopo deflect past
Fabricio in to his own net. Lafita brought a spectacular one-handed save from
Alon later on, but there were some nervous moments for the away fans before the
final whistle. A good win for Depor though given the early stage of the
pre-season, and they should wrap things up in the Riazor in a week's time.
