Espanyol suffered, but in the end he fulfilled the script in Hungary. Darder , at the last minute, rescued a tie that allows him to increase his streak without knowing the defeat in Europe to 26 games and ensure the leadership of his group, whatever happens on the last day against a disappointing CSKA who drew at home against him Ludogorets A more toned Ferencvaros and the fact of leaning too much on his positive inertia in the tournament was about to give him a disgust, but a final boost was enough for Espanyol to continue smiling in what, for now, is his great oasis.

The Blue and Whites arrived in Hungary with all the duties practically done. His qualification for the round of 16 of the Europa League was assured. That is why, and because in the League things are very different, Pablo Machín aligned a team full of substitutes. The Ferencvaros, meanwhile, jumped on the grass ready to bitter the afternoon. Siger , after picking up a shot at the post that caught the entire periquita defensive line, crashed the ball at the bottom of the net to overtake his own.

Those of Machín, however, did not take too long to match things again. In this case, through Melendo . A lucky shot of the striker, after a great play by Pipa on the left wing, served Espanyol to go to rest with 1-1 on the scoreboard and with very good feelings to face the second half of the duel.

End of infarction

It was the locals, in spite of everything, the ones that started stronger, circling the rival area with danger. Campuzano and Dídac would touch the goal, but the best opportunities would be their rival, with two penalties, the first very rigorous, on Calero , and the second very clear, on Iturraspe . Diego López stopped the first, but saw how Skvarka beat him in the second to take the game to a heart attack end in which Darder rescued a tie that would erase everything negative. The Hungarians, meanwhile, need to win the Ludogorets in Bulgaria to move forward.

Getafe, meanwhile, achieved its goal in Turkey and depends on itself to move forward in the competition. The team added a victory in their visit to the already defenestrated Trabzonspor in a very locked match, which was finally decided thanks to a solo by Jaime Mata . The goal came at the start of the second half and is worth its weight in gold. The Bordalás team now only needs a draw against Krasnodar, at home and on the last day, to ensure its presence in the next phase of the Europa League, given that it was able to impose itself on its rival in Russia by 1-2.
