Valladolid beats Ponferradina and continues on a roll (1-2)

Real Valladolid maintained its unbeaten preseason condition after its Thursday victory by 1-2 in El Toralín against a Ponferradina team that lost that condition after their victories against Lugo and Racing de Ferrol .

The team of blanquivioleta presented a convincing image with a controlled game, against a rival with little attacking arrival and not missing one of their main offensive references, the Israeli Shon Weissman, who missed the appointment due to some inconvenience.

With no time to get onto the field of play, Sekou Gassama struck first, with his third goal of the preseason, taking an inside pass from Escudero to hook a first-time shot into the top left corner there are no options for. the Iranian goalkeeper Amir Abedzadeh.

From the first moment, the blanquivioleta team put pressure on their forward lines to try to quickly recover the ball near the opponent’s area, although exposing themselves to the risk that they could get their back, a aspect achieved by an uncomfortable Deportivo player without the ball. in some cases.

The bercianos also lacked precision in their passes, while their rival tried to exploit the weakness of the defense in the left zone of a Ponferradina who, little by little, tried to take the initiative to equalize the contest.

However, it was José Pacheta’s side who increased their advantage with a shot from Aguado which the local goalkeeper responded with a good hand and moments later Kike hit the crossbar with a direct shot from the corner .

The start of the second half left the clearest chance for the locals with the ball from Zalazar to Naranjo who, starting in his own field, ran out of steam entering the area with no option for a shot.

The mistake led to a quick attack on the left wing with a shot to the delight of Arroyo where Amir responded with reflexes and then successfully intervened again with Gassama’s shot.

It was only the beginning of the second goal from Valladolid with a pinpoint shot from Monchu that Joaquín headed for 0-2, with the game entering a dynamic action of unnecessary violence.

With the game in control due to Berciana’s ineffectiveness, an error on the ball coming out of the defense allowed the player to steal the ball by passing to Zalazar who, in an attempt to cut back, was shot by Masip, who changed the ball from a powerful shot to the central highest penalty José Naranjo.

The former player from Valladolid, the Spanish-Uruguayan “Kuki” Zalazar, the smartest of the locals, starred in another new dangerous action with a shot that bounced off a defender and could surprise the goalkeeper from in Valladolid, although it was Pacheta’s. who were able to extend the score at the end with some dangerous arrivals.
