Then a match would come with the smell of a draw that was decided by a marvel of Abdon Prats in the last breath. Mallorca won in the Mediterranean. Before the Christmas holidays it was Espanyol’s turn. De Tomás scored the goal of the season by beating Makaridze from his own field. Corpas matched, but De Tomás, from a penalty, gave Vicente Moreno’s team three points. The only joy was given by Jorge Cuenca in the duel celebrating in Vallecas against Rayo. Jorge Cuenca, with an imperial head in the discount, did justice after a rigorous expulsion of Umar Sadiq. Curiously, the referee was the same one who whistled on Wednesday in Leganés: Javier Iglesias Villanueva. And the last setback was this Wednesday in Leganés (2-1).
On time
