Canales saw red playing with the precautionary measure of his sanction
Muriqi prevents the triumphant premiere of Pezzolano
MADRID, 9 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Betis lost (0-2) this Sunday against Cádiz in a match with two local expelled at Benito Villamarín, Sergio Canales and Aitor Ruibal, while Almería won (2-1) and put Valencia in relegation in the day 28 of LaLiga Santander.
The Betic team lived a fateful afternoon, especially its captain Canales, who had the precautionary measure to play after the four-game ban he had received from the Competition. The Spaniard saw a direct red card at 38′ for cutting off an attack by Sobrino.
Betis was enraged because the VAR did not notify Cuadra Fernández that Edgar, who had to go on due to a severe sprain from Pezzella, might not be so far away as to consider Canales the last man. Manuel Pellegrini’s men did not know how to manage their anger and Cádiz almost waited for the gifts: a hand from Miranda for Alcaraz’s penalty to make it 0-1 and a counter to make it 0-2 with Chris Ramos.
The goals came in the second half and, just after the second, Ruibal slapped Fali, which cost him another red card and brought victory closer to a Cádiz team that has 31 points and takes advantage of a day of punctures below to move away from the relegation zone. Meanwhile, with two straight losses, Betis is complicated, six points away, to fight for the Champions League area.
On the other hand, in a direct duel for the red zone, Almería came out of the relegation places at home, with a great game from Samu Costa in containment and aid. In addition, the MVP of the afternoon at Power Horse Stadium gave the assist for Melero’s 1-0 at the start of the second half. Babic doubled the income in another typical disconnection of the ‘che’ team and, despite the fact that Valencia was proud, he did not give him more than to cut (1-2) with Castillejo.
The first half had no goals but it did have rhythm and chances, with Chumi and Kluivert the clearest for each side, although the visitors tested the rival goalkeeper more and also claimed a penalty. Valencia paid for the bad start after the break and the final rush with Cavani did not prevent the eighth straight defeat away from Mestalla, the great crisis that put Rubén Baraja’s men down.
In addition, the day also left this Sunday a nice 3-3 between Real Valladolid and Mallorca. The debut of Paulo Pezzolano as the new Pucelano coach after the dismissal this week of Pacheta touched the three points, until Muriqi from a penalty in the 94th minute left the tie. One point for Valladolid’s 29, marking salvation, and 34 for a more comfortable Mallorca even though they have gone six games without winning.
José Zorrilla vibrated with his own but with a very bitter taste in the farewell. A great goal from Kike Pérez made it 1-0 after half an hour, which he commanded until Muriqi recovered his aim in the second period. Pucela seemed to fade away as it had been doing in the face of adversity with the 1-2 score by Morlanes almost immediately, but Amallah and Monchu already made it 3-2 at minute 86. A roller coaster that ended in distribution of points for a hand from Larin.
