The goal attends his final judgment

Like most Second Division teams, Espanyol and Sporting have very defined objectives for the last day, which will be played this Sunday at 9:00 p.m., in a unified schedule. Parakeets, get a league title that has been resisting them since they returned to Primera. And the rojiblancos, recover a place in the promotion promotion that they had occupied without exception the whole season and that they lost on Monday, at the worst moment. But it exists another underground battle, secondary if you prefer, that faces both teams even if they play separately.

Both Espanyol in Alcorcón and Sporting at home against Almería play the two greatest individual distinctions of the competition: the Zamora and the Pichichi. In goal, the only good news for David Gallego's team in their 0-0 on Monday against Fuenlabrada is that they beat Diego Mariño (23 goals conceded in 38 games and an average of 0.61) to his namesake Diego Lopez, who received a target, very early in addition, in the 1-1 against Tenerife (he has 24 in 39 games, an average of 0.62) and that he had to play because of Oier Olazabal's injury. Except for accident of both –Manolo Reina, from Mallorca, is the silent candidate, with 25 goals in 39 matchdays – from parrots or Asturians, the best goalkeeper of the season will come out.

Equally or more spectacular, the struggle to be the top filmmaker in the category is still presumed. At last a fight will culminate as equals that has been happening all season, giving each other the alternative on numerous occasions. Raúl de Tomás now leads the Pichichi classification, with 23 goals, thanks to the one he scored on Sunday as soon as he entered the pitch at RCDE Stadium. Just one, with 22, followed by Uros Djurdjevic, which has loosened something in this final section but that in the previous week-long day had 'wet'. In this case, the outsider 'is Umar Sadiq, with 20 goals, although it is precisely measured with Sporting, so to become Pichichi he would have to beat the possible Zamora.

This double individual fight emulates the one they experienced in full Espanyol and Sporting themselves in the first section of the season, when they alternated between first and second position, especially until the tenth day. Vicente Moreno has finally secured the promotion, while the expert David Gallego will play against the former Espanyol coach Joan Francesc Ferrer 'Rubi' the possibility of going up to First through a promotion or to continue in Second. Exciting day from all points of view.
