Eibar-Girona and Las Palmas-Tenerife, crosses for promotion
MADRID, 29 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
UD Almería and Real Valladolid won the two direct tickets to the First Division this Sunday on the last day of LaLiga SmartBank, a heart-stopping outcome that changed in Alcorcón’s discount, where Eibar fell (1-0), while Eibar-Girona and Las Palmas-Tenerife will be the ‘playoffs’ matches.
Zarfino messed it up again, but this time it was to compensate Almería who he left without promotion last week. Alcorcón, a team that had been relegated for a long time, became the judge of promotion, beating Eibar which, in 91′, was condemned to the ‘playoff’ while Almería was catapulted to the First Division.
Both the Andalusian and the Basque cadre suffered south of Madrid as might be expected. Almería went down twice against Leganés (2-2). Ely and Sadiq gave Rubi’s men the goals, but Risk’s saves in the last minutes prevented a forced victory for the Andalusians until Eibar fell in added time.
Zarfino’s setback was dealt to the gunsmith in minute 91 in Santo Domingo, when the tie was enough for the Basques to be in the First Division. Alcorcón, who drew in Almería last week, made it even worse for Eibar, who will now have to recover for the ‘playoff’ against Girona. The Catalans did not go beyond the draw (0-0) against Burgos, enough point not to be overtaken by Real Oviedo, and finish the regular season sixth.
Meanwhile, Valladolid, which did not depend on itself, did its homework in the second half and returned to the First Division a year later after the failure of its rivals from above. Weissman, Plata and Aguado thrashed Huesca (3-0) to win the second ticket to LaLiga Santander, with Almería champion with the same 81 points.
In addition, the crosses for the third and last passport to the highest category of Spanish football will have a high-voltage first round between Las Palmas and Tenerife. The team from Gran Canaria, more than two months without losing, finished fourth with their victory (0-1) over Sporting de Gijón and those from La Laguna, with worse dynamics and feelings than their countrymen, fell (1-2) to the Cartagena.
