Australian striker John Aloisi said he hoped to mark his 100th appearance for top flight Spanish side Osasuna against Malaga on Sunday with a goal and three points.

"It's a special game for me. I think I can celebrate this match with a goal and a victory," said the former Coventry City star.

"I am very happy here and hopefully I can play another 100 matches," Aloisi told reporters.

The 28-year-old Adelaider had two spells with Cremonese in Italy before trying his luck in England, first with Portsmouth, then with Coventry.

He moved to fifth-placed Osasuna three seasons ago and has been a regular for the northern side, starring alongside former Aston Villa man Savo Milosevic, joint top scorer in La Liga so far this term with Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o.
