Got on end of long free kick to turn ball in on far post.
Celta moved up to the top
half of the table with a 0-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao, who have only picked
up one point from their four home games and who ended the weekend just outside
the bottom three.
Baiano got the only goal of
the game in the fifth minute, turning in a long free kick from Lequi which Luis
Prieto could only head back in to the path of the striker. But after that the
Galicians hardly went near Lafuente's goal, and it was left to Pinto to do the
rest.
The visiting keeper (who won
the "Zamora" best goalkeeper prize last season) had not had a clean sheet all
season, but he pulled off a string of first class saves, including two free
kicks from Yeste in the first half, and a spectacular overhead kick from the
midfielder and two headers from Urzaiz after the restart.
The Basque side felt
themselves unlucky as well to have a penalty claim turned down late on after
Tamas blocked a close range shor with his hands. But when Pinto stopped
Urzaiz's last minute header the home fans knew that they were in for another
disappointing night. |
