Monchu, with his only goal in the 81st minute, gave Real Valladolid an important victory this Saturday, moving closer to the direct promotion positions (they sleep third), against an Eldense that stood up and had up two goals that have been nullified, the first being gross. The rivalry was marked by controversy because the first goal of the Elda team seemed to be clearly legal.
Galech Apezteguía first proved Timor’s goal, assisted by local Javi Sánchez. But VAR warned him that Chapela was in an illegal position right in front of Masip, a situation that became anecdotal considering that Javi Sánchez was the last to touch the ball but Galech Apezteguía understood that this was not the case and was dismissed -effective. the goal.
The local coach, Paulo Pezzolano, was again surprised by the starting eleven, where he again chose Javi Sánchez in the middle of the defense, for Oliveira, as a center midfielder, and Salazar and Marcos André as offensive references, in the absence of Sylla.
His counterpart on the visiting bench, Fernando Estévez, also made some changes compared to the previous day against Andorra, including the goal, now defended by Mackay, in addition to Dumic, Cris Montes, Mo Dauda and Monsalve.
It is clear that the Alicante team will close the ranks to prevent the locals from having a clear arrival in their area, blocking the game, almost, from the first minute. The spectacle, the so-called spectacle, has no signs of being seen in José Zorrilla.
However, Pezzolano’s team took the initiative on the ball, and sought to deploy their weapons, through Oliveira, a goal-hungry Marcos André, and a Monchu who shot twice between the three sticks, to find a well placed Mackay at the finish line. .
Meanwhile, Eldense is waiting for an opportunity. And Dauda is an example of this. He used his speed to break into the opposition’s small area, although his shot went too wide and missed the goal.
An injury to Biuk, who was barely able to handle the ball, gave way to Raúl Moro on the left wing. But it was very difficult to break the wall put up by the visiting team, and a certain frustration began to appear.
Because, in addition, the Eldense did not give up the attack, which caused the Valladolid people to pay attention to a potentially dangerous action that would slow down their race towards victory.
After the restart, the Alicante team came out eager, and with a well-rehearsed corner play, Timor managed to score a good goal, which was disallowed for offside, after several minutes of intense tension.
Estévez’s men made it clear that they were alive and well, against a Real Valladolid that lacked creativity, depth, ideas and direction. The only one who showed dedication was Moro, but he found no support.
Even with the changes, Blanquivioleta’s team was able to unblock the game. Desperation sets in, because one point is missing. And just when all seemed doomed to a goalless draw, Monchu brilliantly headed home a cross from Luis Pérez to open the scoring.
The fans let out their joy at that great goal, but there were eleven agonizing minutes of added time ahead. Therefore, Pezzolano brought in Boyomo and Juric, to try to get the three points, and Estévez, Juanto and Poloni, to tie.
In fact, after a corner, those from Alicante scored a goal, but offside. Silence fell on José Zorrilla before the visiting push. Time seems to stand still, and anything can happen. But nothing happened, and the three points remained in Valladolid.
