Osasuna's revival continues,
and they beat fellow UEFA Cup participants Celta 0-2 to move safely up to
mid-table. Despite making seven changes to his line up, Ziganda's side
controlled the opening minutes, and they took the lead when Valdo crashed home
a fierce shot after the defence failed to clear a free kick.
Only Gustavo López
was causing any problems for the visiting defence, and Fernando Vázquez
decided to bring on Jesús Perera early in the second half. That made
some difference, but fifteen minutes later the Galicians were left with ten men
when Angel was sent off for a foul on Raúll García.
Curiously Celta had their
best moments after that, Contreras and Perera bringing top class saves out of
Ricardo and Nuñez shooting just wide. But with the game in injury time
and the home side throwing everything forward, Juanfran wrapped things up with
a second goal after Webó had sent him away on a rapid counter-attack.
