The tenth day of LaLiga SmartBank had eleven protagonists that we detail below. Nahuel (Oviedo), Rubén Castro (Cartagena) and Embarba (Espanyol) stood out with doublets. Juanpe (Lugo) scored the only goal of the match against Rayo. Defenders Juan Ibiza (Sabadell), Álex Suárez (Las Palmas) and David Andújar (Cartagena) scored.
Goalie
Mackay (Sabadell)
Mackay is increasing his figure in Sabadell in the last games. He has three games without conceding a goal and that has helped the Catalan team to add seven points out of nine possible. Against Ponferradina, despite the bulky result (0-3), he completed five stops of merit. The most outstanding, one point-blank after a header by Dani Romera from within the small area.
Defenses
Juan Ibiza (Sabadell)
If Mackay's performance was meritorious, no less remarkable was that of Juan Ibiza, who scored the first goal of the match, and curiously it was also the first of his sports career. Unappealable header in a center of Néstor Querol, at the exit of a corner. To his great performance in attack we must add his six clearances, six interceptions and four duels won in defense.
Álex Suárez (Las Palmas)
The player from the Las Palmas quarry was another of the day's scoring defenders, although in this case his goal did not serve to score points. And it is that this came in the 88th minute, when the score was 0-2 in favor of Oviedo. Good header off a corner, thrown by Benito Ramírez.
David Andújar (Cartagena)
The day is about head goals. David Andújar scored the second goal for Cartagena, in his victory against Albacete (3-1). In this case, the goal came after finishing off a free kick thrown by Álex Gallar. In defense he was correct, clearing all the danger that reached his goal and with a 77% success rate in the pass.
Bernardo (Girona)
Girona suffered and in what way to save a point against Almería. The Catalan team finished the game with eight players due to the expulsions of Ramalho, Cristóforo and Monchu. It was in this panorama that the figure of Bernardo emerged. The Colombian's performance was vital to score a point with a saved goal on the same line from Corpas' shot.
Midfielders
Juanpe (Lugo)
Add and follow the Lugo that already has four consecutive victories. The midfielder was the star last day against Tenerife and repeated his condition in the victory against Rayo Vallecano. The footballer knew how to direct the game of his team from the three quarters, in addition to scoring the winning goal coming from the second row.
Stoichkov (Sabadell)
Sabadell continues to be in the competition and already has two consecutive victories. Against Ponferradina, Stoichkov, the star signing of the Harlequins, led his team in their first away victory, being the owner of the game between the lines. In addition, he finished his performance with a great Vaseline goal against Caro.
Embarba (Espanyol)
The leader of Segunda remains intractable on his way to Primera and Embarba is one of the architects of the good moment the team is going through. The midfielder scored for the second day in a row and against Málaga, in addition, twice. To his two goals must be added the assistance of the other remaining goal, the work of De Tomás.
Forwards
Djuka (Sporting)
There is no one to stop Djuka at Sporting. Serbian's sixth goal of the season to give the Asturians three points against Castellón. With his goal, he equals his record from last season and that only ten rounds have been played. In addition to his goal, he had four more chances to increase his income, but he was not lucky.
Nahuel (Oviedo)
He wanted to show Nahuel on his return to the Canary Islands and boy did he do it. The attacker was a real dagger from the position of second striker and not only because of the two goals, in which he was not timid in front of the goalkeeper, but also that his riding could stretch the carbayones and give them victory.
Rubén Castro (Cartagena)
Old rockers never die, let them tell Rubén Castro, who at 39 and now wearing the Cartagena shirt has become one of the top gunners in the category. Against Albacete, he did not miss his appointment with the goal and twice. Both goals of nine guarantees, in the area and without getting nervous.
