Valladolid saves the furniture in 89 '

He Valladolid reacted in time to the Elche to neutralize the tricky 0-2 with which the break was reached and save a draw that did not satisfy either of the two contenders, mired in the lower part of the classification. Joaquín's goal in the 89th minute prevents Pucela from falling to the relegation places, where there is still a Elche that he was left with honey on his lips and that he has already chained 12 consecutive days without knowing the victory. Sergio's success in the changes was key for his team to save the furniture and make the double of Josan in the first half.

Elche went ahead on the scoreboard at the first change through Josan, who took advantage of a bad rejection of the Pucela behind to surprise Masip with a dry and tight shot from the edge of the area (9 '). The goal spurred the local team, which reacted with integrity and courage despite the initial blow. Those of Sergio bottled Elche in their area and Weissman had the tie only four minutes later but his shot crashed with the wood.

He did not despair Valladolid, which continued to accumulate approaches in front of a Elche sustained by Verdu, imperial in the axis of the visitor's rear. Little by little those of Almiron countered the dominance of Valladolid and, at the end of the break, a vertical dispatch measured from Verdu from the rear he crossed the defense of the Valladolid to quote Josan with Masip. The winger faced the goalkeeper with perfect oriented control and fired with his right hand adjusting the delivery to the maximum.

The 0-2 forced Sergio to look for solutions and the entry of Michel and Toni Villa revitalized his team to the point that the Elche he had no choice but to gear up behind. With the Pucela overturned and overflowing its rival, Weissman scored 1-2 on a messy play but Jaime Latre, after reviewing the action, decreed the Israeli hand in his fight with Barragan on the goal line (61 ').

The disallowed goal put fear in the body when Elche and reinforced the morale and plan of the Valladolid, which ten minutes later closed distances thanks to a great maneuver of Michel on the front. Orellana he found his partner in the front and this, after cutting Raúl Guti with his right, he fired with his left to beat Edgar Badía (71 ').

Elche ran out of power, exhausted in its area and devoted to bailing water to save the valuable loot obtained. Almirón detected that the victory was to refresh his team and made a triple change that gave air to the visitors, more whole than Valladolid in the final stage. However, when the visitors were already cherishing the triumph and the Valladolid agonized, a fault masterfully drawn by Boiled he finished it off Joaquin (89 ') to seal a tie that does not alleviate the hardships of either of the two contenders.
