Getafe dents Mallorca's Champs League ambitions
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 14 - 03 - 2010

Mallorca's ambitions of making next season's Champions League spots were damaged Saturday by a 3-0 loss to Getafe in the Spanish league.
Daniel Parejo put Getafe ahead in the 31st minute in the team's Alfonso Perez Stadium, heading in Jaime Gavilan's cross from the left. Parejo turned provider in the 80th, as Nicolas “Miku” Ladislao latched on to his through pass to score, two minutes after coming on as a substitute.
Manuel del Moral converted a penalty in the 86th after Mallorca's Jose Carlos Nunes was sent off for handling the ball in the area.
The result leaves Mallorca fifth on 43 points. Getafe is eighth on 36 points.
Also Saturday, Sporting Gijon drew 0-0 with Athletic Bilbao.
Bilbao is sixth on 41 points and Gijon is 10th on 32 points.
Mallorca has been close to the four Champions League spots in recent weeks due to its impressive home record of 11 wins in 12 games. However, outside the Ono Estadi it has been poor and this was the team's eighth league loss away from home.
Parejo's goal settled Getafe, which started to control the midfield.
At halftime Mallorca coach Gregorio Manzano reshuffled his lineup, replacing Victor Casadesus and Julio Alvarez with Felipe Mattioni and Jose Luis Marti.
However, Getafe continued to pressure. Dudu Aouate kept Mallorca in the game by saving shots by Francisco Casquero and Pedro Leon early in the second half, before the hosts' late goals made sure of the result.
In a tightly contested game at Gijon's El Molinon Stadium, David Barral nearly put the hosts ahead in the second minute when his shot was intercepted by Fernando Amorebieta.
Gijon had several more chances, with Jose Angel Valdes drawing a fine save from Gorka Iraizoz early in the second half.
For Bilbao, Gaizka Toquero was a constant threat, setting up a Markel Susaeta strike that went just wide before heading a cross wide himself in the 55th.
Five minutes later, Gijon's Juan Pablo Colinas saved a penalty taken by Igor Gabilondo after Valdes was ruled to have brought Toquero down in the area.
Fiorentina beats Napoli
Alberto Gilardino's two goals gave Fiorentina a come-from-behind 3-1 win over Napoli in Saturday's only Serie A game.
Fiorentina was eliminated from the Champions League despite beating Bayern Munich Tuesday and hadn't won an away game in more than two months.
Ezequiel Lavezzi gave Napoli the lead in the 48th minute and Gilardino hit back in the 60th and 87th.
Stevan Jovetic added a third score for Fiorentina into an empty net when Napoli goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis rushed forward in a last-ditch attempt to equalize in added time.
Napoli remained seventh with 41 points and Fiorentina is 10th with 38 points.
On Friday, Inter Milan threw away the lead to lose 3
