The goal will be the key to the comeback. And the goal at Rayo passes through Isi Palazón. The Pichichi de la Franja has been a brilliant month, in which he has scored three goals – of the ten he has – and has given three assists – out of six with his signature., all this in the last seven games. Hence, the extreme is called to be a key piece in that steep road to Primera.
May 16 Isi opened the scoring, from a penalty, against Fuenlabrada and a day later He overtook the franjirrojos after the Oviedo draw. Both matches ended in victory, 1-2 and 4-1, respectively. However, the team did not suffer the same fate with its last target. The Murcian scored 1-0 against Girona, but the Catalans ended up turning the first leg of the final (1-2). Result that Vallecanos will have to deal with in Montilivi.
Isi had not scored so many goals in a season or with Murcia (his record was at six, 14-15) nor with the Ponferradina (8, 18-19), but beyond his prolific filmmaking side, he is also standing out as an assistant. The extreme has served three goals to his teammates, Fran García against Castellón (he returned the favor last Sunday assisting him against Girona), to Álvaro in the first leg against Leganés and to Andrés Martín around Butarque.
In addition, Isi could be classified as a specialist in the playoff. And it was fundamental in the promotion of Ponferradina to Second, scoring in each of the qualifying rounds. He did it in the quarterfinals (the return with Cornellà), the semifinals (the return with Cartagena) and the final (the first leg with Hercules).
