In this duel between two sick La Liga players, Alavés and Valladolid wanted to put an end to their long series of defeats. Valladolid, which had only one victory this season at kick-off, got off to a bad start with a goal quickly conceded by Alavés, signed by Martinez (1-0, 8th). But before the break, Sylla equalized from the penalty spot for the visitors (1-1, 17th).
Everything had to be done again after half-time and Alavés almost got back in front from the penalty spot (51st). And the Basques paid dearly since Amallah, again from the penalty spot, and Anuar gave Real victory in the second half (3-2, 72nd and 76th). A second victory for Valladolid, which remains 18th before hosting Villarreal on the next day. Alavés, 14th, has a fourth defeat in a row before Rayo Vallecano.
