LEVANTE UD 1-VALENCIA CF 0 | Roger grabs the derby against a very sad Valencia

The derby followed the inertia of the last weeks: the Levante, very strong at home; Valencia, a horror outside the Mestalla. The granotas take the rivalry game, they leave Valencia five points down, come closer to Europe and, most importantly, they leave the stay very close. What's more, Paco López beats Valencia. Only the newly promoted are left to have won everyone. Valencia was not the sainete of Valdebebas or Getafe but almost. The new system of three centrals went frog and Diakhaby is back to his old ways.

The innovative defense that Javi Gracia lined up took very little time to decipher Levante. 11 minutes to be exact. It was Of fruits, the smartest in the class, the one who showed the way to his companions. He was left alone before Cillessen but sent it to the stick in hand to hand. Three minutes later it was Morales the one who finished off first, after a bad clearance by Guillamón. But fue Roger the one who did not forgive. Rude mistake at the exit of Diakhaby (He's back!), first pass from Rochina, a la Laudrup, and the 'Gunman' does not forgive before a dizzy Diakhaby and before a Cillessen who could only look at her.

Valencia was a flan behind and upstairs nobody understood each other. I couldn't get worse. Little by little the defense was intoned and at least the Levante did not stand before Cillessen every three minutes. In fact, he didn't do it anymore in the first act. The attack was missing. There lor Guedes and Kang-in tried but the ball always came at a disadvantage. Difficult ballot for both, who played a few meters behind Gameiro, trying to associate.

After the break, the Levante took a step back. He wanted to become strong in defense, knowing that Valencia did not look like doing too much damage. And the plan almost came out perfect because Rochina; Roger, after another short circuit from Diakhaby; and Morales had the second. But they were not right. And in the end, Valencia went up with more faith than skill. Vallejo had the only, very clear, behind a wall by Gameiro but Aitor stopped well.
