Espanyol achieved a golden victory on Friday with a lot of difficulties and did not even have a good game against Valladolid, but finally, they are out of relegation and sleeping outside hell, something they have not done for a long time. He won again a month and a half later thanks to a goal from Puado and a second from Roberto Fernández who scored a golden goal on his debut. And he left the field to the applause of the fans who now have a new idol.
Manolo González made only one change to his eleven regarding the match against Leganés the previous day. Veliz jumped to the point instead of Jofre. The rest, the same.
[+] Check out the match data summary:
The Spaniard came out strong and had some dangerous tactics. At minute 6 Antoniu Roca gets in a good header it went up and a few seconds later Cabrera imitated him but his header was spat out by the crossbar.
A mirage as Valladolid gradually gained control of the ball and with little danger Perica reached the goal, making the defenders ‘adapt’. Good luck to Joan Garcia who is in the 16th minute Espanyol saved, kick saved at the point blank range of Lucas Rosa. First fear.
The rivalry turned into a ‘street runner’, losing all color and making it clear to both teams why they were embedded in the relegation zone. Despite everything, Valladolid had more of the ball in front of them a Spaniard anxious and unable to make three passes in a row.
A Long shot by Tejero in the 23rd minute This is the only shot between the three parakeet sticks. Bad vibes from a nervous team at the back and no attack lights. It looks bad but Puado appears to bring hope to those who stand.
In the 31st minute the captain scored a great goal to open the scoring. He hit the ball into the area with his right, a brutal control, and invented a left-footed shot to beat the Pucelano goalkeeper.
But 1-0 was not synonymous with the Spaniard calm and in control, looking for a second. On the contrary. Valladolid, who arrive with three passes, carry poison every time they set foot on local soil. And he caressed the tie. In the 41st minute Marcos André only forgave and in the 46th minute Joan Garcia showed eleganceagain with a whip of Raul Moro.
The second half got off to a hectic start. Raul Moro who was about to leave Valladolid for Ajax, was injured with pain in his collarbone and left the club on a stretcher. And on the next play, the foul called by the Pucelanos was resolved welln a great goal from Javi Sánchez to make it 1-1 in apparent Important ‘slump’ in the stands, seeing that one day Spanish does not know how to keep the advantage, the clean sheet.
Veliz continued to see them as square and Manolo González He chose to put all the gunpowder in the grass. And the forward debuted Roberto Fernández, the last reinforcement to arrivetogether Puado and Veliz to the point. Also Edu Expósito, talented pplowed a very flat average yesterday, as did the whole team. A draw doesn’t mean much to the Spanish and they need to score a goal no matter what. And Manolo’s invention turned out great.
In the 75th minute, Veliz recovered the ball, which made it work Omar put in a good cross for Roberto to finish underand the network. Arriving and kissing the saint, a target that the people of Cordoba will never forget. The stadium exploded and how the bank celebrated.
The rivalry has gone crazy with a Valladolid that I like and I can’t do but that against a Spanish defending all important victory. And a lot of nerves, in the stands and on the grass because the Pucelanos are scary every time they come. But the Spaniard held on and took three points of pure gold.
