David Silva is eternal. The canary has the gift of giving great matches and passed through Elche like a star, what it always was. Even Martínez Valero fired him standing up after lead the comeback of a Real team that continues to dream of the Champions League and that he has it three points away, shot by Silva. Elche, despite getting ahead on the scoreboard, collapsed in the first part and threw away part of the rent he had on the descent. The red zone is four points away and on Saturday he has a final for salvation against Mallorca.
Real’s victory will be remembered for Silva’s great game and Isak’s blunder. The Swede had a penalty goal annulled for making a ‘paradinha’. But the Sheriff’s team recovered from everything and left touched an Elche that has lost part of its joy, the one that allowed it to have a good mattress on the descent.
La Real lived a hundred lives in the first part. The Sheriff’s team went through all the moods in minutes. It began with depression due to the early goal by Carrillo after a great action between Mojica and Fidel and almost sank just when Pere Milla forgave the 2-0 after a serious mistake by Zubeldia in a loan back. The Catalan fell asleep between so many cuts and woke up the beast. The people of San Sebastian went from depression to euphoria, with a gale of football and chances. Isak did not take advantage of a penalty committed by Roco on Sörloth and, in the trick he attempted against Edgar, he committed a technical foul. Yellow and low for the Swedish.
La Real began to find Silva and the two goals of the comeback came from his left foot. The Canarian raised his head and gave Sörlth and Le Normand two candies to turn the game around in seven minutes. Elche had enough to resist on its feet and seek explanations for its collapse.
Francisco shook the bench at the break and Real got comfortable, as if everything had to happen in the first part. Rico and Isak ran into Edgar and Ponce put fear into the body after caressing the tie. But the Real already smelled the Champions area.
