___________________Bainao(75)
___________________Ivan Alonso(80)
___________________Abel(87)

2 red cards for Valladolid and so early in the game. The first for cifuente,receiving 2 yellow cards in 24 minutes and butelle getting sent off for bringing down abel in a clear goal scoring chance in the 32 minute.

Valladolid then scored with the impressive joseba llorente, but that was only false hope. Because in the last 15 minutes, murcia scored 3 goals in the way of bainao/ ivan alonso and a beautiful goal by abel.

Rough game and the pitch didn’t help matters either.

1-2

______________________________Victor(70)__________Aduriz(8,31)

Very good win for atheltic, but it was really lucky(though they did dominate most of the game). Caparros has set up a very good counter attacking side and it works very well for them away from home. Though they really rode their luck with Ogbeche being denied a goal, because he pushed ocio

It seems like atheltic have finally found a decent striker. Aduriz has been very impressive so far this season.

Valladolid really missed llorente, who was suspended.

athletico played a lot better and they deserved the win more than valladolid

I don't understand why matigol didn't start in villareal, but he went in as a sub now.

Great 4pts on the top from second place for Real Madrid

[Super Pibe #7]

Villarreal in their last 2 league games have really missed to mount even more pressure on Real Madrid. Drew with Almeria last week when they had the chance to go top after Real Madrid’s draw against Murcia last week.

Valladolid really started this game well and put a lot of pressure on Villarreal. They should’ve been given a penalty earlier on in the game, but the ref decided to play advantage which llorente couldn’t take advantage of with his shot saved comfortably by Viera. They then got the lead through Llorente who put in a powerful head past viera after a brilliant cross from Sisi.

Villarreal could’ve equalised before halftime after nihat broke in behind the Valladolid defence and was one with Asenjo who was able to save nihats poor effort. Villarreal then pressurised Valladolid at the start of the second half with franco putting in a powerful shot which just went wide.

Valladolid then caught Villarreal on the break and sisi put in another cross which Llorente dummied and then victor put the ball away to get his 4th goal in 4 games. Llorente was in great in this game and it really is a shame that atheltic bilbao couldn’t sign him. Imo he is probably the best basque striker around at the moment. They have no chance now, since he signed a contract extension I think.
