A gale called Lozano – AS.com

Football is clever and Choco Lozano knows that for a while. The Honduran was the absolute protagonist of Cádiz's victory over Alavés (3-1), after scoring a goal, giving another and causing an expulsion (Tachi), with his leathery and vertical game. In general terms, the Cervera party was complete, in one of his best versions of the season. Alavés was not bad, but his performance dropped after staying with one less player.

The two teams arrived in need of points, having added just one win in their last six games. Although both are out of danger positions, the descent is close and it is urgent to add three at a time. Cádiz started well, very well. Vertical game to stand in the opposing goal in three passes. In just seven minutes two 'uy' sounded with Negredo's two occasions, in which Pacheco was very attentive.

Cádiz liked each other and the goal was immediate. Goal with suspense and the VAR had to review it for several minutes. Perea's move from the right wing, he left his pair, and after entering the area, the ball was rejected. Pacheco tries to stop her but does not arrive and Lozano puts his foot in. The ball reaches Álex and the Madrilenian does not fail in the same line. From Las Rozas a possible offside or even a foul on Lozano's goalkeeper had to be reviewed. There was nothing finally and the goal went up to the scoreboard.

Precisely when Cádiz was better, there was an incomprehensible error from Fali that made it 1-1. The Valencian committed a penalty on Tachi on an aerial ball, of those in which years ago you could fool the referee, but not now. Sánchez Martínez did not appreciate it, but from the VAR they called him to see it on the monitor. The referee decreed it and Joselu did not miss from eleven meters. Alavés's goal balanced the forces and the game was paused. Those of Machín began to braid from long possessions; while those of Cervera tried to steal to go against it quickly.

The second part started moving. At 50 'Tachi saw the second warning for a foul on Choco, when the Honduran went alone to attack. The Spanish defender did not have many reasons to complain and it was the third foul deserving of the yellow (all on Lozano). With one more player, Cádiz began to find their best game. He continued to easily reach the opposite area and the goal was a matter of time. In Espino's umpteenth band career, the Uruguayan won his pair and got a perfect center so that Lozano, the cleverest, beat Pacheco with a strong shot.

Machín introduced changes in search of the equalized. Manu García and Edgar entered, for Jota and Deyverson and the truth is that the Basques improved. Rioja, the best of his own, had it to tie after finding a deep ball. The extreme faced Ledesma and broke it with force. The Argentine, then, was sublime with a downward stretch to deflect just enough, before the ball crashed into the post.

Lozano had not appeared for a long time and he did it again when his team needed him most. The Honduran received a ball on the right wing in 68 ', he slept waiting for a teammate, raised his head and there he saw Negredo. The 18 of Cádiz turned the gift into an unappealable auction with the goal of the goal, in which Pacheco's stretch was insufficient. The goal was the sentence. Those of Cervera were able to increase their income with several actions, the clearest one, in a shot from Negredo to the post, but the marker did not move again. Cádiz smiles again in Carranza, where to date they had only won one game (Barcelona, ​​2-1) and he already has 23 points in his locker thanks, among other things, to a smart 'guy' like Choco Lozano.

Machín: “When things go wrong, they go completely wrong”

The coach of the Alaves, Pablo Machin, declared that “when things go wrong, they go completely wrong.” Machín stated at the press conference after the crash that your team “competed well” in the first half, when he saw a match “even, no matter how VAR decisions” the two goals scored in that period, one for each team. The Alavés coach considered that his team entered “well in the game, taking dominance, circulating the ball so as not to make mistakes “against a rival” dangerous on the cons.

For Machín there were several keys to the meeting, the first being the expulsion of central Alberto Rodríguez 'Tachi'. “I have to assume that expulsion in the first person. As much as you say that you should not go to the ground because it is an easy decision of the referee for expulsion, that play has marked the future of the game“, said the coach of the babazorro team. Later, he regretted that Cádiz's second goal came when they were” going to make changes to restructure “the team after the expulsion. Third, Machín He recalled Luis Rioja's shot to the post, which could have led to a 2-2 draw just before Cádiz scored the third. “We had a heads up with Rioja that could change everything, but in football, from glory to failure is that he hits the stick and goes out or in,” stressed Machín.
