The Saturday evening match
between Deportivo and Osasuna ended without goals, a result which neither side
really wanted. A victory could have taken the Galicians up to the UEFA Cup
spots, and the visitors needed the three points to move away from the drop
zone.
The locals dominated the
game from start to finish, De Guzmán going close with an early overhead
kick, and Lassad heading a long cross against the upright a few minutes later.
Valerón was unlucky to have a penalty appeal turned down after
Flaño brought him down late in the first half, and Lafita and
Verdú both fired long shots just wide of the post after the restart.
Roberto and his defence held
fast though for a fourth game in a row without defeat, a point which keeps them
just above the bottom four for the time being. Depor themselves stay in eighth
place, still a point off the European places. |
