Real Valladolid wins, convinces and puts pressure on the ‘gallitos’

Real Valladolid convinced and thrashed a Lugo 4-1 who was never a rival for the blanquivioleta team, as they barely managed to reach the local area and were also unable to stop the dominance of Pacheta’s men, who hit the target with the tactical drawing and with the changes he introduced after the break. The victory places the pucelanos in second position in the table, just two points behind the leader Eibar, and with two more than Almería waiting for their two direct rivals to play this Sunday.

The local team came out with the intention of controlling the game from the start, with possession of the ball and with a biting attack, which surprised a rival who could not avoid Óscar Plano’s early goal in the 9th minute, after a good combination action and after which the blanquiviolet midfielder was injured.

Anuar entered the field of play to replace a Plano who could not even celebrate the goal scored. A goal that gave the locals peace of mind, not relaxation, with a pattern repeated with respect to the previous match against Alcorcón, but more effective, since it led to greater control of the ball for Pacheta’s men.

In fact, the team from Lugo was not able to reach the blanquivioleta area, since that pressure from the Valladolid team from behind, together with the dominance in the center of the field, stopped any attempt by the rival to reach the goal defended by Masip, who did not touch ball in the first half.

Therefore, the break was reached with a 1-0 win over Real Valladolid, against a Lugo that was forced to defend itself and park the attack.

There was no change after the restart, as the home team continued to maintain absolute control over Lugo, which led to more dangerous arrivals in the visiting area that paid off in the form of goals, the first of which was from Weissman, who This is how he broke his drought in front of the goal.

There was only one team on the pitch at the José Zorrilla and the people from Valladolid were accumulating actions and more goals, like Anuar’s, who changed the ball from his leg and kept calm to beat Óscar and establish the 3-0.

When no one expected it, the referee, with the help of the VAR, signaled a penalty against Real Valladolid for a handball by Nacho who was in charge of transforming Barreiro. It was not the only maximum penalty of the match, since Nacho himself was brought down by Ricard and González Esteban did not hesitate to signal a penalty. Sergio León launched it and signed the final 4-1.
