Arenas falls before the exhibition of solidity and power of Alavés B

The visitors have jumped onto the field with a whole treaty of intent as a sample. From the initial whistle they have exhibited their power to dominate by exerting suffocating pressure on the entire field. His was the first clear opportunity after ten minutes, when Tenas finished off from point blank range for Landeta to respond with a brilliant save. José Manuel Aira’s men commanded the midfield, combined with success and were dangerous on the wings. They were even superior in individual duels and in the passing game.

The visitor’s advantage on the scoreboard came before the first quarter of an hour was up, when Ropero put together a good shot on the turn that Landeta couldn’t do anything about. But the ambition of Alavés B has remained intact. He was still looking for the second goal and has had options for it. Otu, turned into a headache with his penetrations from the right wing, had the best, but he finished slightly high when he was alone in front of the goalkeeper. Sannadi also tried his luck with a shot that Landeta saved.

It took the red and black team almost half an hour to start prevailing, although they have had two previous opportunities. The first one corresponded to Gabriel Lizarra, whose header went wide after finishing too hard, while Zorrilla launched a good shot that Adrián carefully deflected. Half an hour into the game, coach Javier Olaizola had to change the defense due to an injury to Gomez, who was replaced by Lazka. Everything seemed to be on track when, shortly before the end of the first period, the pressure served to steal a ball near the corner, where Elorza crossed for Lizarraga to head off at will.

After the break, the Getxo team enjoyed more possession and commanded the midfield. But José Manuel Aira’s men have shown that they know how to cope in any situation. So they have resorted to long balls to surprise the counter. And it took them very little to get ahead. Sannadi, one of the players who had already displayed his technical skills, speed, power and dribbling skills, caught a ball in the area to quickly turn and beat Landeta from below.

Despite the fact that it was 1-2 a few minutes after the restart, all the attempts to equalize the contention made by the people from Getxo have been useless. The defensive work of the Alaveses has been impeccable, as has their solidarity when it comes to supporting the defenders. Although Arenas has tried with a tremendous exercise of will and effort, the solvency shown by Alavés B has been impeccable.
