Las Palmas and Osasuna
shared the points in a game which both of them needed to win. Only one point
separated the two at the start of the game, with Las Palmas in fifteenth place
and Osasuna two below them, just above the relegation zone. With Angel
suspended and Schurrer injured, Fernando Vázquez put out a makeshift
defence, with Edu Alonso and Josico dropping back from their usual midfield
positions. Lotina gave Armentano a start after he scored the winning goal last
week, and replaced the injured Fernando with Yanguas, himself just back from
injury. The Pamplona based side were the better of the two in the first half,
and it was no surprise when Armentano opened the scoring with half an hour
gone. Palacios put a header just wide soon afterwards which could have
increased the lead, but Contreras had to clear off the line from Rubén
with Unzué beaten a minute later.
Both sides had to make
changes early on, with Yanguas and Jayo not quite as fit as they expected being
replaced by Lekumberri and Sarasúa respectively, and Vázquez also
brought on a third forward Tevenet at the break to try and redress the
situation. Osasuna fell further and further back as the game wore on, with
Orlando shooting just wide of Unzué's goal with their best
opportunity.The local fans started to get on their players' backs as time ran
out, but with Lotina already counting his winnings, Rubén popped up to
equalise four minutes from the end. Still the visitors felt they should have
had a penalty in the last minute when Olias brought down Sabino, but referee
Pérez Lasa gave a free kick to the home team for offside, much to the
disgust of Lotina who was booked for expressing his opinion rather too
vociferously. In the end status quo, with both sides remaining more or less
where they were at the start of the day's play. |
