Celta kept alive their hopes
of salvation after beating Osasuna 1-0, a result which takes the Galicians to
within a point of safety and only four points away from twelfth placed
Albacete. Caretaker managers Carnero and Sáenz put out an unchanged side
and they had the better of the first half, Sanzol saving a long shot from
Giovanella and Edu and Berizzo going close with headers. The visitors could
have taken the lead early on though had referee Muñiz Fernández
seen a clear penalty by Juanfran on Bakayoko.
Osasuna started well after
the break though, and Muñoz shot just wide after a long run from
midfield. But play went straight up the other end, and the midfielder went from
near hero to villain in seconds, deflecting the ball in to his own net as
Giovanella tried to hook it back to a team mate. The visitors could have
levelled the scores in the last minute when Cavallero tipped Pablo
García's free kick onto the bar and away, but it was not to be and Celta
had won their first game at home for almost ten weeks. Osasuna though still
hold on to the last UEFA spot as the teams around them all failed once again to
take advantage. |
