Mallorca, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mallorca took over fourth place in the La
Liga table on Sunday as Jose Carlos Nunes scored in the 81st minute of a 1-0
win over Villarreal at the Son Moix Stadium.
Mallorca entered the match having won all nine of its previous home matches,
but its perfect record appeared to be in jeopardy as the game entered the
final 10 minutes.
However, Nunes headed home the game's only goal nine minutes from time,
keeping Mallorca's perfect home record intact and moving the club to within
five points of third-placed Valencia.
The match marked the first time that new boss Juan Carlos Garrido was in
charge of Villarreal following the departure of former coach Ernesto Valverde,
and Garrido watched his side get off to a positive start as Joseba Llorente
burst in on goal but shot straight into the legs of the goalkeeper.
Llorente had another chance shortly before halftime when Robert Pires slipped
him a pass with goalkeeper Dudu Aouate out of position. But with Llorente
about to tap the ball into the net, his shot was blocked by a last-ditch
challenge from a Mallorca defender.
Aouate was tested by Llorente again after the break when he got behind the
Mallorca defense and had his shot deflected by the keeper, redirecting the
ball onto the top of the net.
Villarreal then paid for all of its wasted chances as nine minutes from time,
a free kick from Julio Alvarez was played to the back post, allowing Nunes to
climb above his defender and head the ball past goalkeeper Diego Lopez.
Sevilla slipped to fifth place after they were beaten, 2-1, by Real Zaragoza,
while Osasuna got past Tenerife, 1-0.
Almeria moved four points above the bottom three with a 3-1 win over Sporting
Gijon, two goals from Fernando Llorente allowed Athletic Bilbao to complete a
3-2 comeback win over Xerez, Deportivo finished 0-0 with Malaga, and Racing
split the points with Atletico Madrid, 1-1.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
