The jump of La Liga Santander Today, the sixth category of national football is enormous and that is why the ‘Zebras’ took the game with the ‘yellow submarine’ to enjoy a historic day, in which the result was the least of it.
The scenario also benefited those of Unai emery, the Riazor field, a first-class stadium, nothing like that of A Grela, where Victoria, on an artificial surface, eliminated Hernani in the previous one for this appointment that will remain forever in the memory of the modest Galician team, referent of grassroots football, with 78 years of life and a nursery of footballers as Amancio Amaro or Lucas Pérez.
The Villarreal formed with an eleven of guarantees not to give option to the bell. Jano, the goalkeeper who had starred in Victoria’s pass to the Cup when stopping a penalty and acting as a coach at the University, it was exhibited in the first quarter of an hour. With popcorn he responded to a header from Alcácer and another from Raba, this one to the center of Pervis Estupiñán.
The goalkeeper of the Coruña team could not with Alberto Moreno. The former Liverpool player traced the wall with Paco Alcácer and spiked the ball in front of the goalkeeper to end local resistance in the 17th minute. Five later, he repeated with a tight shot from the front.
The account of Villarreal went four ahead before the break with a header from Bath in a corner and another of Fortress after collecting an error from Pipo.
The rest did not appease Emery’s men against the modest Galician team. A post avoided the third of Alberto Moreno and Mandi sent up the rejection with the entire goal for him.
I do not forgive Chukwueze after a feint by Raba and they widened the straight, already in the final stretch, Gerard Moreno in a corner kick, Dia and Joseph.
