Valladolid 0 – Alavés 2 Alavés is reborn in Zorrilla and sinks Sergio's Valladolid

Real Valladolid suffers, nothing comes out and will continue for another week in relegation positions, while Alavés took advantage of their numerical superiority to take a duel in Zorrilla, passed through water. The people of Vitoria breathe, the Pucelanos will have a hard week in which the position of Sergio González may be in the air.

The first 45 minutes can be divided into two halves. A first in which Real Valladolid dominated, arrived with danger and could get ahead. Those were the minutes in which the Blanquivioletas arrived well on the left with Nacho and Toni and on the left with Orellana and Janko, who made his debut and left good feelings in his first three actions. Toni had the clearest pass from the Swiss, but Pacheco stopped the shot. He missed the Weissman shot before the turning point. The Moroccan El Yamiq returned to eat a lateral center and Lucas was left alone in front of Roberto. Nacho pushed him from behind and the braid scored a penalty and, through a call from the VAR, expelled the Pucelano side. Lucas shot hard and down the middle, but the ball crashed violently off the crossbar. Real Valladolid saved a dangerous situation, but was knocked out, so much so that a few minutes later Lucas scored from the front, but the VAR warned the referee to annul it for offside of Jota Peleteiro's millimeters. Alavés dominated, Real Valladolid rowed towards the break with the aim of recharging batteries and marking a new plan.

And the new plan lasted 10 minutes. With pressure, but without occasions. Alavés dedicated themselves to weathering the storm and dominating their three-quarter zone. That's where Tomás Pina arrived to take advantage of a beautiful play by Jota Peleteiro to score. The blow was the logical consequence of the Alava superiority that dominated the center of the field with force. The Vitorians were able to sentence with a shot by Lucas that El Yamiq took under the goal, but they did not do so until minute 85 chen Borja riveted a shot by Deyverson doing justice to what was seen in the second half, when the Basques entered the Pucelana defense very easily. The blanquivioletas bad in defense, very clumsy in the center of the field and nonexistent in attack. The week can bring news in Zorrilla.

POLEMIC VAR:

The VAR called the referee to expel Nacho for Lucas' penalty in minute 20.

The VAR annulled Lucas's goal at minute 34 for offside by Jota Peleteiro.
