At 23:15 Beijing time on December 31, a match in the 19th round of La Liga was contested, and the Spaniard challenged Valencia away. Espanyol's first 18 league games have a record of 6 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, which is not bad, at least very far from the relegation zone. Espanyol have had a tough time in their last few games, losing two of their three consecutive league games, first to Rayo Vallecano 0-1, then to Levante 4-3 and 3-1 to Celta in the last round. The match between Espanyol and Valencia, the last two meetings between the two sides, the Spaniards have lost. But this time, the Spaniards finally won Valencia, although the process was more difficult, but also a beautiful victory.
Valencia had a very good chance early after the start of the game, almost breaking the goal, but fortunately the post was strong enough to block Douro's shot. Espanyol players compared to Manchester City, delayed in finding form, played for 25 minutes, and gradually found the rhythm of attack, more shooting opportunities, but never scored.
At the start of the second half, it was still Valencia who took the lead in form, only this time the luck was not as bad as in the first half, and Aldrette scored with a header. The lagging Spaniard stepped up his attack, while Valencia played somewhat conservatively. The Spaniard kept getting shots on goal, but always a fraction of a second.
It wasn't until the 82nd minute that Valencia player Douro sent a foul in the penalty area, allowing Espanyol to score through a penalty. At the same time, Douro himself was punished with two yellows and one red. Valencia suffered a double whammy at once. The Spaniards used this momentum to continue their efforts, and Puado scored with a header in the 88th minute to complete the deadly. The final score was set at 2-1, and the Spaniard completed the reversal.
Espanyol had 63 percent of the ball in the match, with 15 shots on goal, four shots on target and two goals. Valencia, on the other hand, had 12 shots on goal, 2 on target and scored 1 goal. In the post-match whoscored rating, the substitute puado, who scored a deadly goal on the bench, scored a game-high 7.9 points, and he scored one goal on target on 3 shots. De Thomas, who scored a penalty, scored 6.6 points. Wu Lei, on the other hand, was completely abandoned in this game and sat on the bench, he has been abandoned in 4 consecutive La Liga games, a total of 6 times this season in La Liga as a substitute but failed to get the opportunity to play. 2021 is bitter for Wu Lei, who has been scoring 0 goals in the league. Wu Lei's current situation is too bad, he has completely lost Moreno's trust, moreno did not even give him the opportunity to play on the bench.
