Heroes of the week

Boo. No goalscorers, no assist-men, no nothing this week. So this time, we’ll talk about someone other than Giuseppe Rossi and Luca Toni for once. Like goalkeepers.

Let’s start with Spain. Recreativo de Huelva’s not doing so good in La Liga standings, but this week-end the 17^th-ranked team managed to obtain a valuable point away to Valencia, thanks in particular to the super saves of their nº1 man Stefano Sorrentino. Can the ex-Torino and AEK Athens man keep his team away from the relegation zone?

On to France, where Flavio Roma‘s week-end wasn’t all that great, but could have been a lot worse: AS Monaco obtained a good away draw to Paris Saint-Germain (with on-loan Juve midfielder Sergio Almiron scoring the tying goal for les monégasques). Nº1 (nº30 actually) and team captain Flavio could do little on Amara Diané’s lead, but his springing reflexes denied Mario Yepes’s header, thus preserving the final 1-1 scoreline.

Finally, on to Switzerland where Andrea Guatelli had a rocky afternoon on Sunday. With starting keeper Johnny Leoni being sent off in the 3^rd minute, FC Zürich had no choice but to insert the ex-Pompey keeper vs. Luzern. Guatelli immediately cost his team a goal by failing a save on Lustrinelli, then (through no fault of his own this time) conceded another goal in the second half. Zürich then brought one back with Djuric, and Guatelli’s subsequent saves kept his team’s hopes alive. In the end however, the match ended 2-1 for Luzern.
