The fifth LaLiga SmartBank matchday had eleven protagonists that we detail below. Víctor Gómez (Mirandés) and Elady (Cartagena) were the best players of the day, signing a goal and an assist each. De Tomás (Espanyol) reappears in the eleven and is confirmed as one of the best players in the category.
Goalkeeper
Femenías (Oviedo)
This season is being the confirmation for Joan Femenías. Already in the last matches of the 2019-2020 campaign, the young goalkeeper was an insurance under the Fuenlabrada goal. Now, being the owner and lord of the clubs in Oviedo, he is confirming his exalted level. Three stops in the Asturian derby, a duel in which his youth did not weigh him down.
Defenses
Tejero (Zaragoza)
After a bad year at Eibar, Tejero has returned to LaLiga SmartBank to once again be that deep and impenetrable full-back in equal measure. Before his former team, Albacete, the defender had a great game in which it was his first start with Zaragoza. More than half of his centers found a finisher and it was a defensive wall.
Lapeña (Castellón)
The orellut fans have reasons to breathe easy with their team. One of them is the good work in defense, a rear led by Lapeña. Against Fuenlabrada, one of the teams with the best shape in the league, the center-back was an insurance defender who also finished off his great performance with a goal from a corner.
Víctor Gómez (Mirandés)
The performance of the young Víctor Gómez, a winger on loan from Espanyol to the jabato team, was simply spectacular. The defender did not do one thing wrong against a Sabadell that has to be found now. He rounded off his performance with an assist, a center measured at the head of Pablo Martínez, and with a goal from outside the area.
Midfielders
Tejera (Oviedo)
The carbayona engine room has been named after him for several seasons now, and that is because good old Sergio Tejera is the leader on and off the pitch of an Oviedo who dreams of returning to the elite. Against Sporting, Tejera commanded his team's game with more than 85% success in passing and scored the winning goal with a subtle penalty kick.
Cristóbal (Fuenlabrada)
If things are about classy midfielders, Cristóbal Márquez is one of those who has the most in the category and at Fuenlabrada. The veteran midfielder is having a sensational start to the season and his goal against Castellón only put him more in the spotlight. The blue suit goes through his boots.
Manu Garcia (Sporting)
In the Asturian derby, only Manu García was the differential player for an undefeated Sporting until his visit to Carlos Tartiere. The young midfielder was a magician in the front of the area who made the game between the lines his own. From his feet came the most beautiful play of the game: cut, then roulette and, finally, measured pass to the hole.
Andy (Logroñés)
He had them all and of all colors but, either because of the intervention of the VAR or because of the performance of the Almería goalkeeper, Andy could not pierce the rival goal until 77 '. However, his game was already a flag until that minute, being the finisher of the game of the Las Gaunas team arriving from the second row.
Forwards
Elady (Cartagena)
The winger saw himself with one foot more outside than inside Cartagena in this preseason. However, the Murcian team finally decided to count on their services and the attacker is responding to their trust with flying colors. Second goal in five games, in addition to providing an assist on the first goal for Borja Jiménez's team.
Rául de Tomas (Espanyol)
If last year the top scorer had a name from very early on, Stuani, this season everything indicates that he will go to the showcases of RdT. The forward, who in the end has stayed at Espanyol, is the best footballer in the category combining goal, technique and ability to uncheck. It will be key if the parakeet team wants to return to First
Sylla (Girona)
A dream debut that Mamadou Sylla had with the Girona jersey. The footballer started to replace Stuani, focused on his national team, and his goal in the 38th minute quickly made his fans forget the Uruguayan. Power, uncheck and a good shot to sign the only goal for his team during his visit to Butarque.
