Three goals, two penalties in favor and a win from Pere Milla. An afternoon of miracles at Martínez Valero. Miracles, yes, were followed with the effort and dedication of a team that deserved the victory for the momentum and energy it showed from the first minute to the last minute of the match. Elche started biting (and scoring), holding on during Villarreal’s dominance and executing his opponent with an outstanding start to the second half.
The hero was Pere Milla, the author of a trilogy. The truth is, it’s a collective sport like football. Until matchday 20, everyone was guilty of defeats. They were all the heroes of the first league win of the season in this match.. It took a long time, yes. But it came. It’s fair to admit that Pablo Machín did just that after a performance where his men showed the best face of the course: concentrated, error-free, and taking advantage of their luck.
The match started with an early goal for the French-greens, as rarely remembered in Martínez Valero. Pure strength Boyé assisted Ponce after enduring several rivals’ struggles; his shot was deflected by the defender, but he landed completely off-track Father Millawho did not notice the pressure of the lower team and defined it perfectly against Pepe Reina.
The target gave Elche wings, but did not change Villarreal de Setién’s ideology. “Yellow Submarine”, slowly, possession, Gerard Moreno some long passes to avoid detection and always looking behind the fearful franciverde defense. Mojica and Baena, whistling with each intervention, could not take advantage of them.
The locals came to the visiting area with a dropper, but did not close themselves behind them. The pressure worked in the first act, when a bad pass from Raúl Albiol wasn’t used between Ponce and Boyé. Shortly after the tie arrived, A great chopped assist from the outside to Gerard Moreno from Álex Baena, Castellón’s striker finished off with a crossbow.
The draw was a test for Franjiverde’s morale and, despite Villarreal’s increasingly abusive dominance, he was not demoralized. Edgar Badia performed his first miracle of the afternoon with a key rescue to Yeremy Pino, who blocked the rapid return of the people of Castellón, and the duel seemed to slowly move towards breaking with the tables in the electronics.
But in the last minute of the first act, Elche smiled again. And he did so after an error by Gerard Moreno that underlined the value of Machín’s men in the 2-1 match. Enzo Roco pressed the striker onto the opponent’s court to start the game, lost the ball with Ponce’s help, and the Argentine took a penalty from his hat after Cuenca stepped on him while cutting. The positive action in the interests of Elche was completed by Pere Milla by deceiving Reina and turning it into maximum punishment..

If the start of the match was exciting for Elche, the comeback after going through the locker rooms healed her. The green-greens started with the idea of taking advantage of Villarreal’s usual calm and gave the game extra momentum. Cuenca and Mojica saved their teams with two shots that Ponce and Boyé nearly scored. Another robbery, this time by Mascarell, was the seed of punishment for the third.
The ball landed at Milla’s feet, who failed to assist but fell down after being caught by Baena. The referee gave another maximum penalty for Elche as a clear sign that the day was ahead. The green-and-green “10”, first and foremost an expert at analyzing penalty shooters like Reina, finished off her hat-trick with another perfectly executed penalty.. According to the first, he changed his shooting side and again deceived the Spanish world champion.
The Catalan hunger did not end there… and he paid the price individually. In a fight with Albiol he fell to the ground and hurt his shoulder, eventually having to be put on a stretcher before the applause of nearly twenty thousand French green fans who were thrilled with all the rights in the world. first victory course league.
The two goal difference changed the real feelings of the two teams in the current campaign. Villarreal seemed to be the bottom team and Elche were the team vying for a place at the table of the Spanish football nobility. Carmona had a bad smack on a good franciverde counter attack and Diego González wanted to score the goal of the day with an acrobatic volley that didn’t engage well. Meanwhile, Machín had an obsession with the eleven French green football players on the field doing it with maximum energy. and brought Nteka, who made his debut with his new team.
The final stretch was quiet for the franciverde fans. After months of pain, she deserved it. For several minutes, “yes, you can” echoed in Martínez Valero’s stands. Elche wants to believe in a historical reaction to achieve permanence. First win in the league. Frangiverdes will have to add more. Now is the time to enjoy it.
