The Catalans extend the crisis of Valencia and Pucela stops Real Sociedad
MADRID, 5 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Girona beat Valencia (1-0) this Sunday on matchday 20 of LaLiga Santander, three points served by Borja García on his return to the eleven after a long injury, while Real Valladolid drew a carat victory from his visit to a Real Sociedad that wanted to escape in the Champions League area.
Míchel’s team triumphed in Montilivi against a Valencia without, for the moment, the Voro effect. The eighth stage of the eternal interim, after the departure of Gattuso, does not change the face of a Valencia that had Mamardashvili as the best, preventing a greater local victory.
Borja García, injured a year ago, made a kind of redebut with a goal in the 64th minute, taking advantage of a good action by Riquelme. Girona, a team made and with clear ideas, thus came out of the rut of the last two defeats to move away from the lower zone with 24 points. Meanwhile, the ‘che’ team remains stuck in relegation.
Valencia opted to take refuge and go against it, but they did not do it well. The Catalan team had several chances, with Taty, Aleix García and Borja, and the visiting cons did not come to fruition. After the break, Valencia worsened, with a lot of work for Mamardashvili and Borja García lived a dream moment.
Meanwhile, Valladolid rubs their hands with a Cyle Larin who, recently arrived in the winter market, gave his team the three points precisely against Valencia in the 90th minute and added another three a week later at Anoeta, with the 0 -1 at 73′.
The Canadian international, who was revulsive again from the bench, finished off with his shoulder, almost accidentally, the goal that knocked down a Real with difficulty to generate danger. The casualties and a well-planted rival led the locals down a complicated path, although controlled and on the way to the siege when they suffered the goal.
Valladolid, with the work of Machís, had a presence up top, but, above all, it was a block that prevented any play inside. Even so, in the 34th minute, Real found the gap with two vertical passes that left a ball to Sorloth’s post. Take Kubo tried unsuccessfully and the game was also stuck in fouls.
After the break, Real wanted to go one step further, they looked for him with the entry of Oyarzabal, but at that moment, Valladolid materialized their first chance, with a Larin who arrived at Pucela with the points under his arm. The Basques wanted to take advantage of the general setback in the upper zone, but the Castilian team (23) saw the same need in a day of climbing from below.
