MADRID, Spain - Villarreal created few goal chances Sunday and had to settle for a 0-0 draw with visiting Osasuna in the Spanish league. Torrey Smith Jersey . Villarreal came close in the 66th minute when Osasuna goalkeeper Ricardo Lopez dived to stop striker Guille Francos angled shot. The uneventful draw at El Madrigal stadium extended Villarreals unbeaten run to five games and moved it 12 points behind leader Real Madrid. The team is also five points clear of fifth-place Espanyol in the race for the top four places which provide a berth in next seasons Champions League. Also, Aldo Duschers 86th-minute goal helped Racing Santander beat Valladolid 1-0 and move it into sixth place. The Argentine midfielder lobbed in Oscar Serranos low cross at Valladolids Jose Zorrilla stadium to boost Santanders hopes of a European debut next season. The late goal came after Santander, which lost at Getafe 3-1 Wednesday in its first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, dominated the second half but couldnt capitalize on its pressure. Also, it was: Getafe 3, Mallorca 3; Levante 2, Zaragoza 1; Real Betis 4, Murcia 0; and Almeria 1, Athletic Bilbao 1. Real Madrid leads with 59 points, followed by FC Barcelona with 54. Villarreal follows in third place with 47 points, three more than Atletico Madrid. On Saturday, Madrid edged Recreativo Huelva 3-2, while Barcelona lost at Atletico 4-2. Also, Sevilla lost at Deportivo La Coruna 2-1 and Espanyol beat Valencia 2-0. Getafe, which as well as the Copa del Rey is still in the running for the UEFA Cup, let a two-goal lead slip in the second half against 10-man Mallorca. Getafe took the lead in the second minute through midfielder Mario Cotelo. Defender Juan Albin headed the home teams second goal nine minutes later, with Mallorcas Daniel Guiza reducing the deficit in the 14th with his 12th goal of the season. Mallorca, whose defender Lionel Scaloni was ejected with a second yellow card in the 36th, conceded a third in the 58th when Ivan Ramis scored an own-goal. Mallorca battled back through Juan Arangos 76th-minute free kick, with Ramis making amends with the equalizer a minute later. Zaragozas slump continued with a defeat at last-place Levante. It was the teams fourth straight loss. Levantes Alex Geijo headed in a goal in the 19th, with fellow striker Mustapha Riga doubling the lead in the 61st. Oscar Gonzalez scored Zaragozas goal in the 66th. Murcias heavy defeat at Betis left it in 19th place with just one point from its past eight games, adding to its relegation worries and piling pressure on coach Lucas Alcaraz. Betis eased its own fears of dropping into the second division with Cesar Arzos 15th-minute own-goal, Edu Schmidts 42nd-minute header, Mariano Pavones 57th-minute strike and Rafael Sobis 74th-minute penalty. Eighth-place Almeria took the lead through striker Alvaro Negredos 59th-minute penalty, but forward Fernando Llorente equalized with a header 14 minutes later for struggling Bilbao. Torrey Smith Elite Jersey . The Calgary Stampeders head coach will conduct at least one mock draft with members of his coaching and football operations staff on Friday. Ed Reed Jersey .

Spains Rafael Nadal reacts after beating Serbias Novak Djokovic during the final of the Artois tennis Championships, Queens Club, London, Sunday June 15, 2008. [Agencies] It was the French Open champions third win in the last three tournaments over the second-seeded Djokovic, following semifinal victories in Hamburg and at Roland Garros. Ray Rice Womens Jersey .S. Cellular Field. Chicago, which has the third-best run differential (plus-63) in all of baseball, has rattled off four straight victories and is 8-2 over the last 10 games thanks in part to a 4-2 victory in the series opener on Friday. Torrey Smith Youth Jersey . He will face Frances Julien Benneateau in the second round. Federer looked to be in full control in the early going, taking the first set from Falla with relative ease. But he fell out of sync in the second set, squandering three match points and six break point opportunities to go along with 14 unforced errors.Some quick thoughts from the NHL on TSN panel on Monday night. In the last five minutes of the first period of Monday nights Game 3 Stanley Cup Final, the New Jersey Devils had a chance to really get something going on the power play but they were not able to accomplish it. Mike Richards was off, it was a 5-on-4 situation, and Ilya Kovalchuk hit a great one-timer that Jonathan Quick was able to save. Immediately after that, Jeff Carter took a four minute double minor that set up a prolonged 5-on-3 and they couldnt get anything going. The Kings did a great job of winning a faceoff, blocking a shot and then two consecutive great opportunities by Zach Parise and Travis Zajac on the power play failed to yield what should have been a power play goal for the Devils. In the game they went 0-for-6 on the power play, with more than eight minutes of power play time and they couldnt get a goal. The Kings have killed 47 of their last 49 man-short situations. Special teams were huge and in that last five minutes of the first period, if the Devils had scored a power play goal there, maybe this series would be different, but its not. A Star Is Born Jonathan Quick has been really terrific in the post-season. In the series against Phoenix, Quick started to look like a normal goaltender - very goood, but maybe a normal netminder. Haloti Ngata Jersey. In the Stanley Cup Final, he has gone back to being absolutely stellar; making the big saves when it matters most. To make that stop on David Clarkson and then have them go back down and score the goal that gave them the lead; that was a tremendous turning point. Quick is proving why he is arguably the best goaltender in the game right now. Hes been flawless. The two goals that beat him in this Stanley Cup Final have both been off deflections which he had no chance on. Dean Lombardi has done a magnificent job of building the Los Angeles Kings. He deserves full credit, but he got a nice going away present from Dave Taylor, the former general manager, and Al Murray, the chief scout. They took Anze Kopitar 11th overall in 2005 and they took Quick 72nd overall. It was a real tough decision to make at that draft that year; they didnt know whether to take Quick at 72nd or whether to go with Ben Bishop, who ended up in the St. Louis Blues organization. They left it to Brian Putnam, a U.S. hockey scout for them who now works for the Tampa Bay Lightning. They said, "You make the call." That was history in the making right there, landing Kopitar and Quick in the 2005 draft, as theyve been instrumental in this playoff run this year. ' ' '
