Osasuna continued their
slide down the table after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Mallorca, and they
have now not won at home since the first week of December. The visitors went in
front in the sixth minute when Delibasic intercepted a poor headed back pass by
Cruchaga to volley the ball past Sanzol, but Aloisi equalised ten minutes later
following a set piece Puñal free kick.
Both sides had their chances
in the second half, the best falling to Colsa for the visitors and Rivero for
the home side. But neither managed to find the target, and in the end they had
to settle for a point each.
There was controversy after
the match ended though, Mallorca protesting to the federation that Aloisi
should not have played as he had cried off from Australia's international match
the same weekend claiming an injury. FIFA had banned Australia's Viduka from
playing for Leeds for the same reason, but it appears nothing was said about
the ex Coventry City striker. The case will go to appeal. |
