Liga: Elche hooks Osasuna at the very end of the match and remains undefeated

End of series for Elche. Undeeped since the start of the season in La Liga, the promoted lost this Sunday on the lawn of Alavés on the occasion of the 8th day (3-1). The expulsion of David Affengruber will have cost the players of Eder Sarabia (79th).

Carlos Vicente had opened the scoring on a penalty spot three minutes earlier, while Toni Martinez scored the goal of the station wagon two minutes later on an Aleña service. The reduction in André Silva's gap has proven to be insufficient (90+3rd) since Lucas Boyé made the decision in stride (90+5th). Elche still remains 4th in the ranking. Alavés is 9th.
