Villarreal maintained its thrust for football from the Champions League next season with a victory at the end of 1-0 in Girona on Saturday at La Liga. The yellow submarine, fifth, with the first five qualifications, needed a head of the 89th minute of Karl Etta Eyong to tear the victory from the Montilivi against a team from Gérona in difficulty. The Catalans were without coach Michel Sanchez because he is under observation at the hospital on “precaution”, said Girona on Friday against an undisclosed disease. Villarreal dominated the game, but found only a breakthrough when the crossing of Alfonso Pedraza found the midfielder of Cameroon Eyong.
The victory places the level of Villarreal with Bilbao athletic fourth over 61 points, four ahead of Real Betis, sixth, which welcomes Osasuna on Sunday.
Mallorca, ninth, kept its European football hopes alive with a 2-1 victory against the real relegated Valladolid.
