Five goals at the Sardinero
stadium, where Osasuna beat Racing Santander 2-3 to take a surprising eleventh
spot in the table. After a relaxed start, Muñoz put Aguirre's side ahead
after cutting in past debutant right back Icham in the twentieth minute. Javi
Guerrero made it all square a few minutes later after good work by Benayoun and
Bodipo, but young striker Brit headed the visitors back in front from Rivero's
cross before the break.
John Aloisi came in the
second half for Brit to put the Pamplona based side further ahead after third
choice keeper Borja couldn't hold on to Muñoz's shot, but Guerrero
scored his second of the night at the end to set up a tight finish. Racing
announced afterwards that they would be applying for the Intertoto Cup spot
left free after Barcelona qualified for the UEFA cup, and club president Dmitri
Piterman will be calling back some of his lesser used players from their
holidays to take part in the first match in early July. |
