Osasuna hold on to sixth
spot after a 0-0 draw at Málaga. The Pamplona based side were by far the
better team overall, although the packing of midfield by both managers meant
that there was very little excitement for the fans, who eventually had to find
their own entertainment with improvised dancing in the stands. In fact the only
chance in a dull first half fell to the visitors, Sanzol making a good save
from Salva's header and Gerardo shooting wide on the follow up.
The Navarrans stepped up a
gear after the break, and should have gone ahead when a shot from Muñoz
struck the foot of the post. And substitute Palacios missed the best
opportunity of the match near the end, waiting too long with the goal gaping in
front of him and seeing his shot blocked by Juanmi. The result ends
Málaga's run of three home wins in a row. |
