Six goals at Montjuic in the
highest scoring weekend of the season, where Getafe took advantage of
Espanyol's UEFA Cup final hangover to beat them 1-5. Coro actually put the
Catalans ahead in the fourth minute with a shot which Pato Abbandonzieri
couldn't hold on to, but Casquero equalised just a couple of minutes later
after Güiza turned Nacho's long ball into his path. Espanyol could have
gone ahead again when Tamudo hit the post and then put another effort wide, but
it was the visitors who scored next, Manu del Moral picking up a pass from
Cotelo and squeezing a shot inside Kameni's near post.
That opened up the
floodgates, and Pulido made it three when he headed Contra's cross past the
keeper early in the second half. Güiza added a fourth after a run from the
halfway line on a rapid breakaway, and Manu rounded things off with a "Peter
Crouch" like scissors kick twenty minutes from the end. The win takes Bernd
Schuster's side up to within two points of the UEFA cup spots, although that
doesn't interest them that much as they are already ensured a place in the
competition thanks to their presence in the Spanish cup final.
