0-1 for the Pamplonicas during their visit to Cádiz

MADRID, 26 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The draw between Real Betis and Real Sociedad (0-0) has given wings to CA Osasuna in its fight against both teams to occupy the European positions in LaLiga Santander, after the Pamplonicans beat Cádiz CF on Tuesday (0 -1) in matches corresponding to the 31st round of the championship.

At the Nuevo Mirandilla Stadium, the Cádiz club showed a good face without fortune, since its twenty shots over the Osasuna goal did not win a prize. He even received punishment midway through the second half, when Rubén García controlled a loose ball on the edge of the area and outlined himself until connecting a powerful left-footed shot, two spans above the grass and that entered the rival goal close to the post.

In this way, the rojillo team reached 44 points to consolidate itself in eighth place, responding to the encouragement of Girona (41 pts.) and looking up. With 49 points, Betis is now in fifth place, having missed a good opportunity to close the gap on Real Sociedad, still fourth with 55.

In that direct duel for noble positions, the tension tied both contenders. There were few shots on goal and, thus, the team from San Sebastián emerged gracefully from the Benito Villamarín Stadium. In the middle of the April Fair through the streets of Seville, the béticos barely celebrated and were also saved from falling into discount, due to a shot by Mikel Merino that Rui Silva caught in two stages, with some trouble.
