Elche CF’s good run is over. It took six matches. SpainI, one of the favorites in the fight for promotion, put an end to Franjiverdos’ good results in the last few days.
Two flashes between the 14th and 22nd minutes, resulting in two goals from Denmark international Martín Braithwaite in just eight minutes, were enough for the lovebirds to beat the Elche team.He is a player who is quite handicapped due to Ramis’ tactical approach and cannot create any danger in Pacheco’s goal. The blue-white goalkeeper had trouble in the last part of the match.
Beccacece finally rewarded the same players who had won against Zaragoza the previous day, repeating the starting eleven, leaving Nico Castro, Pedro Bigas and Borja Garcés on the bench for the first time all season..
Franjiverdes entered the game well. Wanting to press high and take control of the ball and the game. Even if it only takes three minutesCalero could have been sent off for rough tackle on Mouradbut the referee only showed him a yellow card. A decision that could change the outcome of the match.
Espanyol couldn’t find the way and sometimes acted too abruptly As for cutting the shares of the Elche group.
But, He took the lead on the scoreboard with his first approach to the San Román goal. Cross from the left wing in the 14th minute Brian Olivan He finished the race in second Braithwaite and hit his rival on the back. Priest and I benefited San Roman initially hesitated.
A blow blamed on Elche players. What’s more, just eight minutes later, in the 22nd minute, the Danish striker put the ball into the net once again.. This time Edu Expósito sent in a low cross from the right. Braithwaite controlled the ball and shot San Román.
Two goals from Spain and two defensive imbalances that made Beccacece’s team pay dearly..
The match, where the score was 2-0, was going to be very difficult for the Green-Green team.
Even if, Elche tried but faced many problems when it came to maintaining control and numerical superiority in the center of the pitch.Made in Beccacece Mario Gaspar enters midfield.
Ramis had studied the Elche team very well and with the help of two goals, he knew how to direct the team to direct the game in the way that suited them best.
Pacheco barely had to intervene in the first half. Elche reached the three-quarter mark but could not create clear goal opportunities and the first half ended with a score of 2-0.
same tone
The second half went the same way. An Elche team that says “I want it, I can’t” and an Espanyol team that knows how to play the score in its favor.. He looked very serious and had a lot of experience defensively. The Franjiverdes were incapable of creating danger and scoring a goal that would get them into the game.
Equal, The lovebirds have the best opportunity to increase the score. one shot Education Fair He had to turn the ball towards San Román with a corner kick from the edge of the area.
Áleix Febas very well handledreached the baseline and his back pass was not completed Oscar Plano. Mario Gaspar also made a good cross. Murad went down a bad path.
Espanyol tried to punish the counter attack with a third goal.The game became a give-and-take situation, but the lack of football benefited the lovebirds..
The coaches started moving the bench. Beccacece granted entry permission Lautaro Blanco from GutiWe are trying to hit from the left wing. Nico Castro and Borja Garcés They also replaced Nico Fernández and Óscar Plano and Elche started playing with two strikers. But it is neither.
Ramis also introduced variations. Óscar Gil and Keita Balde instead of Omar and Pere Milla.
Minutes passed and Franjiverdes could not find their purpose in closing the distances and I dream of at least a tie.
This is how we reached the last minutes when there was a lot of activity in the areas. Keita Baldé could have awarded a penalty but his shot hit the post.
The best chance for the Elche team came as the match was about to end.already in the extension period.
A center from Lautaro tried to finish him off high heel mario. Borja Garcés also had a good header and Pacheco sent it beautifully into the corner.. And in the final act of the accident, Mario shot high.
A little offensive baggage for a team finding itself It is a rival in the First League that still has players from last season, with experience, quality and, above all, goals. The best example was Martin Braithwaitewho before that Absence due to Puado’s injuryHe took the lead in attack and made the difference with two goals in just eight minutes, leaving the match on a high note.
Elche had the possibility of passing Espanyol in the rankings, but lost There is a five point difference between the lovebirds.
A defeat that is not very worrying, especially due to the strength of the opponent, who is the main favorite for promotion. However Elche need to continue to fix things, especially at the defensive level that has been punishing them, and regain the effectiveness that has seen them go on a good six-game winning streak without losing. and ended yesterday at the Proscenium Stadium.
