Without trembling, the team led by Ernesto Valverde accomplished its mission brilliantly by beating Alavés (2-0). In great shape these days, Gorka Guruzeta only needed 5 minutes to score a double (32nd, 37th) to allow his team to move towards victory, the third in its last four matches in all competitions confused. Faller against Rayo Vallecano last weekend, Alavés is once again marking time and remains 10 units from the red zone.
