MADRID 19 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Elche thrashed Racing de Santander (3-0) this Thursday to continue their good dynamics and move closer to the direct promotion zone at the expense of the crisis that drops the Cantabrian team from the leadership, while Huesca got into the ‘Top 6 ‘ and Castellón failed to reach that promotion zone on matchday 20 of LaLiga Hypermotion.
The team from Elche, with only one defeat in its last 12 games, fueled its confidence in fighting for promotion with a resounding victory against a Racing team that ceased to be the leader in favor of an Almería team that beat Racing de Ferrol on Wednesday. Eder Sarabia’s team won an offensive duel, with goals from Agustín Álvarez, Mourad and Nico Castro.
José Alberto’s men did not take advantage of their chances, especially in their attempt to react in the second half with Aldasoro and Pablo Montero. As soon as he entered Martínez Valero, Mourad made it 2-0 and Elche played with the nerves of Racing’s bad streak that ended with Javi Montero’s red card and Nico Castro’s third.
Those from Sarabia thus add 33 points, four away from second place in direct promotion, which is now marked by a Racing team that has lost four in a row and gave up the lead it had held for 12 days. Meanwhile, Huesca is also one of the best dynamics in the Second Division in the last month, with four consecutive victories to place sixth with 32 points.
A goal from Patrick Soko after half an hour reigned supreme in El Alcoraz against a hopelessly bottom team in Tenerife. On the other hand, Castellón (29) saw its ambition to be in those promotion positions stopped short (5-1) by Deportivo de La Coruña, while the Galicians moved four points away from the relegation zone.
In addition, a penalty goal by Álex Sancris in the 88th minute embittered a Cádiz team that came to taste the second victory in two games with Gaizka Garitano, when Brian Ocampo made it 1-0 in the 75th minute. Burgos thus got a good draw (1-1) to continue adding with Luis Miguel Ramis on their bench against a direct rival, three and two points above the burning.
