Continuation of the 29th day of La Liga this Sunday afternoon with a multiplex of two matches. The real showdown took place on the Estadio de la Cerámica meadow where Villarreal hosted neighboring Valencia for the big regional derby. A few days after coming close to an exceptional comeback in the Europa League against OM, Marcelino’s players struck a major blow by winning by the smallest of margins (1-0) thanks to a goal from Jorge Cuenca (54th). Alejandro Baena saw his penalty saved by Giorgi Mamardashvili in the first period (39th). The Groguets can also thank their goalkeeper, Filip Jörgensen, author of eight saves.

In the other match simultaneously, Almeria, in great difficulty this season, traveled to the Canary Island to face the Las Palmas club, on the lawn of the Estadio de Gran Canaria. The match started perfectly for the La Liga bottom visitors. Indeed, in a great action, Largie Ramazani was able to find LĂ©o BaptistĂŁo who opened the scoring (13th). During the rest of the match, Gaizka Garitano’s players were on a mission to maintain the score and secure their first victory of the season in the league. And so it was done with this minimal score (0-1) but oh so symbolic for the Indálicos.
