Elche Beats Girona: La Liga Recap & Analysis

The heads and the tails in the Martinez Valero. While some look up, others continue in free fall. The first, the Elche. Sarabia’s team scored and ended a streak of seven days without winning and recovered the good feelings to dream of Europe again. The second, the Gironawhich does not raise its head and establishes itself in relegation positions, aggravating a crisis that can have consequences in the offices.

The first part was vibrant. A green and white fiefdom that had a good start despite the time of the game. There was a great desire for the team to end this bad streak and the players noticed it. They were infected by that illusion and came out in a rush with good deeds of danger of Febas y Alvaro Nunez to send a warning to sailors. However, the Gironawho had started the duel waiting behind, had a great chance with the kick of Tsygankov that forced Iñaki Peña to show off to save his people.

But it was just a mirage. The people from Elche regained control of the clash and came up again. Febas warned again after error Witsel and, from going to the fountain so much, in the end they got wet. A sensational wall with Hector Fort ended with a fantastic shot German Valeralow and strong at the near post. Second goal this season from the winger Elchewho went into the break with minimal advantage.

In the second part, the final thrust. Something that came soon, because after six minutes Rafa Mir widened differences. I started there one afternoon to forget about Gazzaniga. The Argentine swallowed the striker’s shot, which looked more like a cross. Be that as it may, the goalkeeper was in charge of clearing up doubts, not the ball. But the thing didn’t end there. Mir’s second was an even bigger mistake. A simple and innocent pass behind Victor Reis The goalkeeper converted it into a goal, in an incomprehensible way. Light pressure from Mir, who got the direction of the goal’s pass right, and third of the afternoon. Sentenced match.

From there, nothing. A Elche very comfortable on the field and enjoying the triumphant ride, and a Girona sunk, both emotionally and on the board. His good match on the previous day against Real Madrida seen and not seen. A mirage. Nothing to do with what they showed yesterday. No trace of that team in a disastrous week, after being eliminated from the King’s Cup at the hands of Orense. Those of Michel They are still in the relegation zone and their coach is on the ropes.
