Deportivo stay just two
points below the UEFA cup spots after drawing 0-0 at Gimnastic Tarragona. The
Catalans have yet to win at home since being promoted, and once again they were
unable to find the target against a secure Dudu Aouate. Arizmendi celebrated
his first ever call up for Spain by bring a good save out of local keeper
Rubén Pérez early on, but otherwise most of the play was at the
other end, Mingo heading over and Ruz almost catching out Aouate with a cross
which dipped in under the bar.
The Israeli keeper made an
important save from Portillo's header just three minutes after the restart, and
then from Pinilla soon afterwards. Rubén beat away a header from
Arizmendi at the other end, but Mingo just failed to find the net in the dying
minutes, and Portillo kicked at air when presented with another chance. The
draw at least saved the head of local coach Luis césar after his side
had lost their lost three league games and been knocked out of the cup midweek
by second division Valladolid. |
