Alavés assaults La Romareda to continue looking closely at the direct promotion positions and Mirandés successfully solves the visit of Villarreal B
MADRID, 12 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Las Palmas defeated Lugo (3-0) with solvency at the Gran Canaria Stadium to consolidate their leadership and leave behind a Levante that won (1-0) against Andorra at the Ciudad de Valencia and an Alavés that they thrashed Zaragoza (1-4) on their visit to La Romareda, on matchday 27 of LaLiga SmartBank.
The team led by Francisco Javier García Pimienta, who has accumulated seven consecutive games without losing in the league, will continue one more day at the top of the table. The locals did not give options to a Lugo that added its fifth defeat in six games, to now occupy the penultimate position.
Thus, the islanders prevailed from the outset with direct football, which was not fully effective until well into the first half. At minute 30 Pejiño managed to open the can after making a good ball from Jonathan Viera inside the area. Although Whalley saved his men from a bigger rout, he couldn’t stop Loiodice from scoring the second before half-time after driving another fine Viera pass into an empty net.
With the game more than decided and with a fairly low pace of play, the second half started with a clear dominance by the locals, who without much effort ended up finding the third goal. Loren, who made his debut as a scorer with the yellow shirt after his recent signing in this winter market, signed the sentence with a heel kick that delighted his new fans.
In addition, Levante made good Bouldini’s solitary goal in the first half to follow in the lead of the leader and rise to a highly valued second position. Andorra, which adds five consecutive losses with this, continued its free fall and is already flirting with the relegation places.
Thus, the Moroccan footballer’s goal as soon as the match began served for the Granota team to add another unbeaten game in the league, and there are already 18. The attacker took advantage of a mistake in Ratti’s start, who collided with his teammate Mika Mármol when clearing a free kick taken from the left with his fists, to score the first and final goal of the match.
For their part, Alavés added their fourth consecutive victory at La Romareda to continue tightening the places of direct access to the First Division. Sylla’s goal in the first half and Toni Moya, Villalibre and Luis Rioja’s in the second ended with a Zaragoza side that was no match for those from Vitoria, despite Bebé’s great goal to make up the result.
Thus, although the team led by Luis García Plaza had a hard time settling down, the good work of Toni Moya, the best of the game, ended up defining the match. First, the Spaniard took a free kick from the left side so that the Senegalese striker headed into the net without opposition and put the first on the scoreboard, and then, in the second half, the man from Mérida was once again decisive, sentencing the clash before it was over. game time.
From there, with Zaragoza desperately looking for a goal that would put them back in the clash, those from Vitoria finished closing the win through Villalibre, who five minutes after leaving the field signed the 0 -3. Although Bebé closed the gap with a powerful house-mark shot from 25 meters, Luis Rioja, with the help of Cristian Álvarez, completed the rout.
Finally, Mirandés returned to winning ways four games later, after beating Villarreal B (2-1) in Anduva. The rojillos prevailed thanks to goals from Raúl García de Haro, from a penalty, and Álex Martín, while Forés closed the gap for those from Castellón at the end of the match. Sergio Lozano was able to change the outcome of the clash when it was still 1-0, but he missed his maximum penalty.
