Deportivo came away from the
Reyno de Navarra stadium with the three points in the last match of the
weekend, a result which takes them to within six points of their opponents
Osasuna. The Pamplona based side had not won in their stadium since it changed
it's name at the beginning of the year, and they were lucky not to go behind
early on when Rubén Castro and Víctor went close. But Milosevic
brought a good save out of Molina, and shortly before half time a quickly taken
Delporte free kick allowed David López to set up Romeo to score. And the
Argentine striker was unlucky not get a second goal when his dipping volley
beat Molina three minutes later only to be ruled out by referee Ramírez
Domínguez for what he considered to be a foul.
Five minutes after the
restart though Depor were level, Sergio taking advantage of a loose ball to
beat Ricardo after Víctor's cross was blocked. Half time substitute
Diego Tristán fired a shot just wide soon afterwards, but at the next
attempt he didn't fail, picking up a pass from Duscher and rounding
Cuéllar and Ricardo before squeezing the ball in to the net from the
tightest of angles. Webó had a couple of chances to salvage a point near
the end, the first a shot blocked by Juanma and the second an overhead kick
saved by Molina. But once again Javier Aguirre's side had dropped points at
home, and the gap between them and the chasing pack for the fourth Champions
League spot has narrowed to four points. |
