Things have tightened in the fight for the descent. The Espanyol, Legans and Mallorca are tied at 18 points, after the triumph of the Blue and Whites against the Balearic Islands, while the Celtic, with his victory at the last minute against Sevilla in Balados, he managed to peek into salvation.

Espanyol finally won at home in the League, in their 12th home game. Ral de Toms, the goal man who needed so much, was again decisive. The rival, of course, seemed auspicious. Mallorca does not know, nor does it know, what it means to add a victory away from Son Moix. But, despite everything, it made things very complicated. The defeat, in his case, pushes him the relegation positions and allows him to take some air to a Celta who was able to overcome the initial goal of In Nesyri, the first as Sevilla, with goals from Iago Aspas and Pione Sisto.

His first triumph in Cornell-El Prat, although he did not allow him to leave the red lantern of the table, gives Espanyol a good number of reasons to dream about something that does not do so much seemed like a chimera: get off the descent the next day. If he is able to take all three points in Snchez Pizjun, Celta falls on his visit to Bernabu and Mallorca and Legans lose or do not pass the draw against Alavs and Betis in Son Moix and Butarque, respectively, get away from the three positions that suppose the loss of the category.

VAR protagonism

The group that directs Abelardo and Mallorca staged a very disputed duel, in which the VAR also had its dose of prominence by invalidating a penalty favorable to visitors in the initial moments of the meeting, given that there is a previous screening. Espanyol, after an initial mastery of the Balearic Islands, The goalkeeper defended by Reina and ended up finding the goal prize in the second part.

It was through a great play initiated in the band by Ddac, who missed the game next week against Sevilla by sanction. The defense action found its prolongation in a Darder center that Ral de Toms sent headlong to the back of the net. The locals had to suffer in the final stretch of the game, but they managed to add a victory that fuels their hopes of saving themselves.
