Approved and suspended of the parakeet boat in the Solares lagoon

Joan Garcia: Official debut of the young squad player, U21 international. Safe in the aerial game and very attentive to the long balls of Solares that required the goal to leave the goal and solve with sufficiency. He conveyed a lot of security but his pristine image was stained in the second half with the 0-2, mainly, in which he was surprised by the direct foul of the Cantabrians. He measured wrong.

Miguelón: First starting game since February for the right-back that injuries left him out for nine months. Defensively well, he anticipated, although he was more restrained in attack. In the 16th minute he saw how Pepo made an aggressive tackle that cost the player of the Cantabrian team the yellow. He got tired and was overtaken at some point.

Calero: Returned to the team after not playing since 1-2 against Atlético. It solved without problems, little demanded by the rivals, but due to the conditions of the pitch that required precision and due to inactivity. He suffered more in the final moments although he endured the defense.

Sergi gomez: The first ball he touched served for all Espanyol to realize the danger of the grass, soaked by the heavy rains that fell. His pass to Calero was slowed down and was about to cause problems. Afterwards, he was very sober in defense, tough in individual duels, with the odd bite with the Solares players.

Didac: The left-back performed at a good level. He went up more to the left than Miguelón, he even had a chance to shoot at goal. Sure in the air game, he suffered more in the second half with 0-3 when the match was already resolved. He served as captain.

Morlanes: Despite the rain and the aggressiveness of a Solares who went to all the divided balls, the midfielder needed 45 minutes to give a sublime goal assist to Wu Lei that ended in Loren’s 0-1 and to filter other dangerous passes to the open Cantabrian defense. He ran little but made the ball circulate fast.

Merida: The midfielder was another of those who returned to ownership after the first days of the championship. He fulfilled accompanying Morlanes in midfield, balancing and helping the centrals in the second plays. He looked for a long shot on a foul that went wide.

Wu Lei: The minutes were good for the Chinese striker to gain confidence although he could not debut as a scorer this season. He gave Loren a goal assist, served it on a tray, and again lacked technical precision to execute some actions in the area.

Melendo: The playmaker danced on the water on the La Estación lawn. He moved the ball judiciously in an electric first half, and his passes could mean more goals. He also suffered some dangerous tackles brought on by the state of the turf and local momentum. Accumulated quality minutes.

Melamed: Very incisive, he played with great motivation throughout the game, both in defense and in attack. He smashed a ball to the post and gave Loren an assist to make it 0-2. He continued in the line of unbalance and verticality that he has in LaLiga.

Loren: The forward, who had barely participated in LaLiga and the minutes he played without success, got the first hat-trick of his career. The first two defined as a good center forward. The first, to pass Wu Lei; the second after a brilliant assist from Melamed that required a control to define. And the third from a penalty caused by him.

Keidi Bare: Played 45 minutes. As soon as he left, he received a strong entrance that left him aching on the ground. Espanyol relaxed at times in a second half in which they lost 2-1. Bare helped more in the defensive phase in the moments in which the Solares pressed.

Alvaro: It complied, although it starred in some individual errors. The team relaxed in the second half and that minimized the brilliance of each player.

Max Svensson: It was a hurricane, but he missed the mark. He had up to four clear goal options, even in one he collided with Loren for the momentum of scoring. He fought and felt like a fish in water.
