Matchday 12 of the League: schedules, results and match summaries | Soccer | Sports

The EA Sports League reached Matchday 12, after a vibrant previous date marked by the Classic between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. On this occasion, the whites could not confirm their leadership and tied at home against Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabéu. For their part, the Blaugrana have managed to recover from the fall by beating Real Sociedad in Anoeta, a field that they have been good at in the last three visits. Girona also complied and became the sole leader, by coming back and passing the test in Pamplona against Osasuna. On the other hand, Atlético de Madrid fell to Las Palmas in Gran Canaria.

Villarreal – Athletic Bilbao (2-3)

LaLiga EA Sports day 12

Ceramics had never been good for Athletic. Ernesto Valverde’s team, in addition, was looking very easy this season when he left the Cathedral. But in half an hour he annihilated all their fears with a flurry of goals (0-3). A therapeutic first half for a team that needs to be in European competition places and that leaves Villarreal in a fifth position that alleviates their anxiety. His rival, who reacted in the last minutes with two insufficient goals, still cannot find his identity. Fernando Miñana reports

Real Madrid – Rayo Vallecano (0-0)

Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano have tied without goals at the Santiago Bernabéu. Those led by Francisco Rodríguez managed to scratch an important point against the merengue team, which came into this match as the leader of the classification. Madrid had the clearest chances of the match, but the Merengue attackers ran into a great Dimitrievski who stopped everything between the three sticks. With this draw at home, the whites lose first place in La Liga, which now passes into the hands of Girona. On the other hand, the draw could mean an important emotional boost for the visitors, in their aspirations to compete for European positions this year.

Getafe – Cádiz (1-0)

LaLiga EA Sports day 12

Getafe, with a solitary goal from Borja Mayoral fifteen minutes from time, overcame the expulsion of Togolese Djené just before half-time and beat Cádiz. The Madrid team stops its poor dynamic of six games without victory in the league, against a rival that was unable to take advantage of its numerical superiority and is already seeing the relegation places more closely. On the other hand, the team led by José Bordalás catapulted to the middle table.

García Pimienta’s daring team subdues Simeone’s team, which only reacts in the final stretch with a goal from Morata after having conceded goals from Kirian and Benito.

More or less fine with the ball, pragmatic in the game or rhetorical in the elaboration, confident or soft at the back, Girona is not willing to get off the top of the table. Now, alone, waiting for Real Madrid to host Rayo Vallecano this Sunday. He hesitated, in any case, in Pamplona. Emboldened by the always decisive Budimir, Osasuna seemed to be recovering its memory, especially after overcoming Iván Martín’s 0-1 deficit. Nothing of that. In an electric match, in which at times they lost control of the game (never the ball), Girona showed all their confidence to a doubtful Osasuna. Juan Irigoyen informs

Betis – Mallorca (2-0)

LaLiga EA Sports day 12

Fekir returned eight months after a long injury. It was the culmination of a happy afternoon at the Benito Villamarín, where 50,000 Beticos celebrated a new victory for their team, the second consecutive in the League, against a Mallorca that never gave up, but in the end had to bend its knees before the efficiency of Betis and a second yellow for Mascarell on the edge of half-time that should not have turned into a red. Too many impediments for this Mallorca, which has already accumulated seven games without winning (four draws and three losses). Quite the opposite of a Betis that launched up to 22 shots on Rajkovic’s goal and that has now totaled seven games in the League without losing (four draws and three wins). Manuel Pellegrini’s men went ahead on the scoreboard with a goal from Willian José (the fifth in the League) and then suffered against a Mallorca that had some action to tie. The red card came to Mascarell and the Balearic team played the entire second half with one less player. Muriq had it, but it was Betis who scored with a good shot from Ayoze from inside the area after a pass from Isco. Then, the green and white team got fed up with missing chances, with Luiz Henrique and Abde very unwise in this aspect. Betis reaches 20 points and is in top shape to face the derby in Nervión next Sunday. Rafael Pineda reports

Celta – Sevilla (1-1)

LaLiga EA Sports day 12

Destroyed by the expulsion of the Peruvian international Renato Tapia, who saw a childish second yellow card in the 65th minute, and a controversial penalty that the referee annulled for grabbing Douvikas after reviewing it in the VAR, Celta still does not win in Balaídos after signing a draw with Sevilla, who equalized Starfelt’s early goal in the 83rd minute, shortly after a shot hit the crossbar. In added time, Rakitic and Pedrosa came close to making a comeback. Agencies

FC Barcelona beat Real Sociedad in the last minute, with a header from Ronald Araujo. Real Sociedad deserved more than defeat in a match where the txuri urdin had the best chances, but they ran into a great Ter Stegen. With this result, Barça avoids falling further behind in the fight for the top of the standings, although the feelings were not the best for Xavi Hernández’s team. At the end of the match, Araujo recognized the rival’s great game, but highly valued the victory achieved in a context of adversity. “Those are three very important points,” stated the Barça defender.

Alavés – Almería (1-0)

LaLiga EA Sports day 12

Deportivo Alavés confirmed this Sunday against Almería the good feelings generated in the previous days and won 1-0, after recovering from a penalty missed by Janis Hagi. Aleksander Sedlar tipped the balance in the 79th minute, although the Vitorian team’s goal could have come much earlier because they had many chances. The Basque team won again seven days after their last victory, while Almería still has not won its first victory and remains at the bottom of the standings. Agencies

Valencia – Granada (1-0)

LaLiga EA Sports day 12

Valencia managed to beat a tough Granada this Sunday at Mestalla thanks to a goal from Pepelu from eleven meters in added time of the first half. It was a very intense and tight match, with few chances, which was decided in favor of the locals after Hugo Duro forced a controversial penalty in favor of his team. This victory allows Valencia to move one point away from European positions.
