While in Ligue 1, the race for Europe will not be in the final minutes of the championship, the one that currently takes place in the Liga is also worth its weight in gold. With only two points apart between Vallecano, eighth, and Osasuna, eleventh, each match counts for the teams fighting for a place in the Europa league conference. And with this in mind, the reverse conceded by Valence on the lawn of Alavés is a very bad operation. Faced with a Basque team who played his luck, Hugo Duro's teammates failed to find the fault and were trapped on a generous fault of Mamardashvili who offered a penalty to locals (1-0, 79th). A defeat that could cost dear at the end of the season.
For their neighbors on the other hand, everything rolls. Faced with Leganés, relegated, Villarreal rolled out without making a neighborhood. If Ayoze Pérez was lucky on his first goal, being on the trajectory of a strike from Pedraza (1-0, 22nd), his second goal owes nothing to luck, but rather to his goalscorer, skillfully winning his face to face with the goalkeeper (2-0, 31st). A few minutes later, Nicolas Pepe took advantage of a bad alignment of the defense to also beat Dmitrovic in one against one (3-0, 45th). With this success, Villarreal recolle at Bilbao, and puts a real gap with the Betis Seville, which will be on the bridge this Thursday in Vallecas.
