MADRID, 5 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Elche and Mallorca achieved golden victories this Saturday on matchday 23 of LaLiga Santander by beating Deportivo Alavés (3-1) and Cádiz (2-1), two direct duels that give Elche and the Balearic Islands a certain margin with the relegation zone.
Although there is a lot of League left, each point begins to count in an important way and more if it is added against a rival in the same war. On Saturday in his session at 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., he came with that dramatic emotion, between teams involved in saving the category.
Elche came back from an Alavés that has gone 11 days without winning to add 26 points, 8 more than the relegation that marks Cádiz. The Basque team, who remain with 17, took the lead through Joselu in the 18th minute and José Luis Mendilibar’s formula once again seemed to bring the Basques closer to the end of their losing streak.
Pere Milla ensured that the party stayed at the Martínez Valero, with five games in a row adding, thanks to a double, the second with the signature of his quality. The man from the promotion to First Division showed off in just 10 minutes that destroyed the visitor’s faith, and Fidel made it 3-1 at the end. Those of Francisco continue to grow with a small mattress to breathe.
Mallorca also achieved a good dose of relief, not without suffering, since it also had to turn around a rival goal, that of Rubén Alcaraz in the eighth minute for Cádiz. However, the Balearic team was much better in the first half and managed to equalize with Salva Sevilla from a penalty. After the break, the Andalusian team seemed to react but Muriqi made it 2-1 with another penalty.
The maximum penalty given to goalkeeper Ledesma was claimed by Cádiz a lot without success. Those of Luis García Plaza took the lead and saved the rent to score five points with the relegation. Those of Sergio González, whose hand is noticeable in the yellows, pressed but did not give them to add. After four defeats in a row, Mallorca ended with the bump at the right time and in Son Moix.
