The Villarreal gives the feeling of not learning from his mistakes. He had lost at home with the two teams that had arrived as bottom teams and did it again with the Legans (1-2), which opens a gap with Espanyol after adding three points that are pure oxygen for Javier Aguirre's men. The madrileos showed that they have not lost faith in salvation by turning a game that was put uphill almost from the beginning with two goals from scar, enough to achieve the first win at home of the course and knock down a Villarreal who he went ahead through Gerard but he was unable to defend his income despite the good feelings he left in the first half.

And it is that at halftime Javi Calleja's team could have left with the game on the right track seeing the ease with which he did damage in attack. To do this with a Alccer that, contrary to what some people think, brings more things than goals. The break marks of the former player from Dortmund blew apart the defense of Aguirre over and over again, who was not enough with three centrals to tie him in short. The last of the first half could mean the sentence after leaving Gerard a frank shot but Cullar The Catalan shot cleared and Moi could not send between the three clubs after winning the rebound. The player from Alicante also came hand in hand with the goalkeeper, a pass from Alccer that frustrated Jonathan Silva, leaving the court quickly.

Gerard He is one of the great beneficiaries of the arrival of Alccer, already seated on the right wing in that position of false end that allows him to move freely around the offensive flank. He showed it in the action that overtook Villarreal after five minutes, entering through the center to win Roque Mesa's position and finish off Cazorla's delivery from the baseline.

The Legans did not flinch despite the uphill pace that the game got right after it started. From the beginning, the people of Madrid tickled Asenjo with shots from the front of scar, Roque Mesa or Rose bushes, very deep for his band but with problems to close it in defense. Villarreal, whose losses led to dangerous actions by the people of Madrid, had not just been in control of the game, while Calleja, who held the first of his two games of sanction in the stands, gave instructions by mobile phone to Xisco Nadal, denounced by the wireless headphones.

Of that double occasion of Gerard and Moi Just before the break Villarreal had to remember when the Legans tied as soon as the second half started. Aguirre's team jumped very into the restart and surprised the people of Castellón with a spectacular volley from Scar from the front that hit the goalkeeper after touching the bottom of the crossbar, impossible for Asenjo.

The reaction of the Legans did not end there, they knew how to minimize a Villarreal who was the shadow of the team in the first half. The team of Aguirre, very deep on the flanks and more active in the pressure, he managed to blur Cazorla, Trigueros and company and continue to harass the yellow goalkeeper until he turned the scoreboard. The madrileos recovered quickly after a long ball from Asenjo and caught the misplaced Castellón defense. Assal it left like an exhalation and Pau he threw himself to the ground to remove the ball but took the ivory coast ahead. Soto Grado did not appreciate a penalty but from the VAR they made him go see the repetition and there he did not hesitate. scar finished the comeback with a low shot and adjusted to the post.

The goal came just after Calleja had resorted to the plan that has already saved him on more than one occasion. Ontiveros He had been the first to enter and followed soon after. Chukwueze, with the idea of ​​doing damage by the bands and taking advantage of the speed and the overflow of the ends. Of the Nigerian, however, there was hardly any news. Something more of the marbell, which put a couple of good centers that Iborra and Gerard finished without success. The Catalan had scored just a couple of minutes after the Legans had come back but was offside by inches. Villarreal's expected final lease did not appear anywhere and the Legans also did everything possible to make the clock run without playing too much, aware that those three points may be gold.
