Diego Lopez: As in the last three meetings, Diego López enjoyed a placid meeting in which he hardly had to intervene. Two distant shots or to the body, some accurate exit in the air game, another with doubts, and a footwork without errors are the balance of the Galician, whose defense sometimes avoids greater evils.
Oscar Gil: It was not the best day for the full-back, who ended up replaced in the second half due to a spectacular fall that caused an injury to his right shoulder with perhaps terrible consequences. He left on a stretcher and in pain. Before that, he suffered in the 10th minute when defending a counterattack and running into Álvaro's ability, who won the game. More restrained in attack, he put a dangerous cross that RdT could not finish off.
David Lopez: Actions are hardly remembered, always on the spot, remarkable with the ball, corrector in defense and very safe in the passing game. Seated in the center of the rear after playing two games in midfield, the captain complied as usual in Albacete.
Calero: The center-back scored his first goal of the season when he headed a great corner service from Embarba. He saw a yellow, stopped Ortuño but was outmatched in some action in which his back was beaten, like Alberto Benito in the 30th minute. The Valladolid center-back repeated in the line-up in a low-demand game.
Pedrosa: He played 45 minutes, conditioned by a rigorous yellow card when committing a foul near the area. Inaccurate in his first two passes, he offered two dangerous climbs up his side, with good driving and intentional centers. It was filmed after the two games that he missed when he was with the Under-21s.
Keidi Bare: The midfielder was in all the disputes, battling in midfield, defending the second plays and participation less than the elaboration. He stands out more in aid than in positional defense, although Albacete, who barely stepped on the area, did not put him in trouble. He did not stop running and helping the centrals.
Darder: Profiled almost always from the left side, the midfielder gave speed to the game and his changes of orientation gave the Blue and Whites an exit in the first half, especially his connection with Embarba was notorious. Compliant without the ball and more restrained when joining the rejection zone as in the last two games, where he actively participated in three goals.
Handful: Returned after missing two games and played 85 minutes. In the first half he made it clear that today there is no more harmonious player at Espanyol. See the spaces, be fast and drive at the right times. He teamed up with Pedrosa with the left and in the second half he was able to make it 0-3 in an action that RdT preferred to look for the back pass to Nico Melamed.
Oscar Gil.
Angel Martinez
Embarba: Add and follow for the best player of March in LaLiga SmartBank. His corner kick was the 13th assist of the course, a record. The player gave Espanyol verticality and was the subject of the 0-1 penalty. He haggled, attended and worked. A match without excessive shine but complete from the extreme.
RdT: She tiptoed through the match, comfortable in the defensive phase by staying off the hook, more liberated with the ball as she was able to participate in different areas. He missed the penalty but scored the rejection. Before, he could already make it 0-1 by staying alone against Nadal but crashing the shot with the goalkeeper's leg. In the second half he participated in the attack actions and obtained the goal award already in the addition.
Dimata: Another match with lights and shadows of the Belgian, which combines actions of merit with other disconcerting. His defensive work makes up for the loss of a midfielder in the initial scheme (Melendo and Melamed), and his disputes with the centrals also cause dangerous fouls in favor of the parrots. With the ball, it is more difficult for him to associate, step on the dangerous area and make incisive demarcation.
Dídac: He replaced Pedrosa with 0-1 and his incidence in the game followed the good line of the last games. Although he is sometimes imprecise with the ball, his internships on the left ended in centers or in dangerous situations for Espanyol, such as 0-3, while at the defensive level he was not required either and, if he was, he responded.
Omar: In his debut in Segunda, at just 17 years old, the side of Santa Eulalia approved. He reached the bottom line three times, did not suffer in defense and did not get complicated in technical actions. It was the christening of a player called to also be the future.
Merida: The midfielder has to play placid game moments, with Espanyol ahead on the scoreboard. An easy context for a midfielder. Espanyol did not lose balance with the Barcelona player, who tried to connect with the tips directly.
Nico Melamed: Keep accumulating minutes, always looking at the opposite goal, like the 0-3 that began with a pass from the youth squad to Dídac.
Wu lei: The striker acted pulled to the right. He helped Omar in the few minutes he played and shot on goal on an unlucky occasion.
